Can somebody help me out? Why is my tab showing my store name followed by the owner of the shopify account? I have changed it under preferences as well as in the coding. Also tried clearing cache. Stumped.. maxwelljamesjeans.com

Hi @shoparlo

This is may be because of someone added code in layout.liquid file to show a text after each page title. Checking and helping on this will need access of your store.

Thanks

Hi @shoparlo

Sounds like your browser tab (title) is displaying your store owner name instead of your store name. So I think here are few things to check:

  1. Double-check Online Store > Preferences – Make sure the “Homepage title” field has only your store name and not your name.
  2. Inspect Your Theme Code – Go to Online Store > Themes > Edit Code, then check theme.liquid for {{ shop.name }} or any hardcoded text in the tag.
  3. Check SEO settings for pages – Go to Online Store > Pages, click on a page, and ensure that the “Search engine listing preview” doesn’t have your name.

Hope this helps :slightly_smiling_face:
