TOPIC: JoomSEF inserting 2 title tags in header

JoomSEF inserting 2 title tags in header 11 years ago #37550

In the header of home and other pages, I'm seeing this:

<meta name="title" content="Test Title Here" />
<meta name="description" content="Home Static Article Meta Description" />
<meta name="generator" content="Joomla! - Open Source Content Management" />
<title>Test Title Here</title>

See the <title>Test Title Here</title> in there?

Isn't that an unintended sort-of duplication?

How can I eliminate that second <title> tag in the header?

Thanks :)

Hi,

The <title> tag is the main one that's used in web browser's page title and indexed by search engines.
The <meta name="title"> is not that important. Anyway it's not generated by JoomSEF but by Joomla itself. In older versions of Joomla there was an option to remove it in Joomla's Global Configuration, but it's not present anymore in the recent ones, so you may need to contact Joomla developers in order to find out how to remove it.

ah, i didn't know that <title> in the head was okay, i was worried about duplicate content, so both <title> and <meta name="title"> are okay?

thanks
