The browser title given to every page on my site www.telemaruk.com is "Your SEO optimised title" what configuration setting do I need to change this? And how can I set a page title for each page?

Hi,

JoomSEF doesn't add any "Your SEO optimised title" to the page title, so please check whether some other plugin or component is causing this, or check whether your website hasn't been hacked.

In order to set the page title in JoomSEF, first you need to check the following settings in JoomSEF's Configuration on the Title and Meta Tags tab:
1. Enable Meta Tags management = Yes
2. Prefer JoomSEF titles = Yes

Then you can use JoomSEF's Meta Tags Manager where you can set the title for each SEF URL.

Dajo, Thanks for the help on my problem with the Title Tag. Have checked the settings: Enabled Meta Tags Management = Yes and set Prefer JoomSEF titles = Yes, but still the browser says: "Your SEO optimised title"

That leaves your suggestion that the site has been hacked. How does one established where and how? Should I uninstall JoomSEF for example?

Have you checked your plugins in Joomla first? I'd suggest you to try disabling them one by one to see if one of them is causing it.

If you don't find anything, you can try uninstalling JoomSEF to see if there's some problem with it. If that doesn't help either, you will probably need to reinstall whole website, or if that is not an option, search through its source code to find the cause of this. In case you are interested we could do this for you as a paid service.

Thanks for your input. I was about to uninstall JoomSEF but decided to recheck everything and on doing so found the words: "Your SEO optimized title" as part of the head tags in the template index.php file. Once the tag had been deleted it reverted to the JoomSEF titles. Problem solved.

It would be interesting to know where it came from as I certainly did not code it in and it was not part of the original template. We shall probably never know. Many thanks.
