How can I remove my shop name from the homepage title only?

Technical Q&A

Topic summary

A Shopify store owner wants to remove their shop name from the homepage title tag only, while keeping it on all other pages. The issue stems from the theme.liquid file automatically appending the store name to page titles.

Original Problem:

  • Shop name appears at end of homepage title (e.g., “Beautifully Furnished Home — Redwood Furniture Store: Your Gate to Beautifully Furnished Home | RedWood Furniture Store”)
  • User wants this removed from homepage only, not site-wide

Solution Provided:
User Kani suggested wrapping the shop name code with a conditional check:

{%- unless template.name == 'index' -%}
  {{ 'general.title.shop' | t: shop: shop.name }}
{%- endunless -%}

Resolution:
The original poster confirmed this solution worked perfectly, removing the store name from only the homepage title while preserving it on other pages.

Note: Another user expressed frustration with the same issue affecting tags across all pages, indicating this is a common Shopify theme configuration challenge.

Hi @redwoodfurn

Can you give me your page URL (with pass if your store password is enabled), so I can check it and maybe give you a solution?

does this apply only to the home page or to all pages? I just wanted it for the home page. You can see store name at the end of the homepage title. RedWood Furniture Store: Your Gate to Beautifully Furnished Home — Redwood Home Furniture

As you said, it was resolved when I added the following bold lines at the bottom of the headers section of the theme.liquid file. This way, it just removed the store name from the home page header info. It continues on other pages. This is exactly what I wanted. Thank you.

{%- unless template.name == ‘index’ -%}
{%- unless page_title contains shop.name -%}
{{- ‘general.title.shop’ | t: shop: shop.name -}}
{%- endunless -%}
{%- endunless -%}

Why would you only want to do the front page??? that horrible seo. This whole thing shouldn’t be set up like this to begin with !
