Meta Title showing business name

Topic summary

A user’s meta title is displaying their business name first instead of their intended format: “Wax Melts - Premium Scented Wax | Precious Wax Sanctuary”.

Solution provided:

  • Open the theme.liquid file in the Shopify theme editor
  • Locate and remove this specific code snippet:
    {%- unless page_title contains shop.name %} – {{ shop.name }}{% endunless -%}
    
  • This code automatically appends the shop name to page titles

A screenshot was included showing the exact location of the code within the theme file. The issue appears to be a default Shopify theme setting that can be resolved through this code modification.

Hi,

I really hope someone can help me. I feel like I have tried everything.

My meta title is pulling through my business name first. I have no idea why or how this is pulling through. Please could someone help?

It should be “Wax Melts - Premium Scented Wax | Precious Wax Sanctuary”

Thank you.
