Broken WordPress standards
10 years ago, WordPress introduced a modern title tag standard. Still, not all themes have implemented this.
Themes without the modern standard may opt in for “pretty” titles, rather than semantic titles. This creates various issues.
First, titles shouldn’t be pretty; they should be unique. This is a fundamental part of SEO as it creates distinction. Second, the way WordPress used to handle titles was vague at best. This prevents plugins, among The SEO Framework, from altering the title correctly.
The Title Fix extension will solve these issues by finding and replacing the title tag.
Is this extension for you?
If you notice your page titles aren’t what you set it to be, then yes.
Otherwise, this extension won’t have any effect.
How it works
The SEO Framework can detect incorrect usage of the title output. It tries to resolve this automatically, but sometimes that isn’t enough.
Title Fix scans the HTML response output buffer for the title. It overwrites the title when found before the page is sent to the visitor, all within a millisecond.
This extension doesn’t have settings and doesn’t store anything. Deactivation will resume default title output behavior.
