I need help changing the browser tab name for my home page

  • At least one other user is experiencing the same problem and has requested details about the fix, but no response has been provided yet

Please would someone be kind enough to help me as I am getting nowhere with the person that designed my shopify page.

Currently my home page tab name on my website says ‘404 not found’. For all other pages the browser tab name is perfectly fine. I have tried everything including editing the title code.

This is the current code:

{% if page_title == blank %}{{ shop.name }}{% else %}{{ page_title }}{% if current_page != 1 %} – {{ 'general.page' | t: page: current_page }}{% endif %}{% endif %}

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Adanai ,

Are you able to share the URL of your website so we can take a look and see what’s happening?

Not 100% that this will work, but go to Online Store> Preferences> Title & Meta Description> Homepage Title

Edit to whatever you’d like, then Save. Note, it may take some time for the changes to become visible. Hope this works for you!
