Why is my site name automatically added to my title tags?

Technical Q&A
1

I’ve manually entered Title Tags on all pages, but the site’s name is being added to the end of the Title Tag.

For example - a page with a title tag ‘Japandi Coffee Table - Japandi Style Coffee Tables’ is displaying and indexed as ‘Japandi Coffee Table - Japandi Style Coffee Tables - Japandi Supply House’

This is obviously causing our Title Tags to be too long.

Thanks for any help!

Hi @JapandiSupply ,

You can follow the below steps to remove the shop name from your meta titles. It requires code editing so you may duplicate your theme before changing it to be on the safe side.

  1. From your Shopify Admin, navigate to online store > themes > actions > edit code
  2. In your theme.liquid file, find the____ tag (press CTRL + F or command + F on Mac to search)
  3. Replace the entire line of the tag with the following code:
<title>{% if template contains "index" %}{{ page_title }}{% else %}{{ page_title }}{% if current_tags %} {{ 'general.meta.tagged_html' | t: tags: meta_tags }}{% endif %}{% if current_page != 1 %} {{ 'general.meta.page' | t: page_number: current_page }}{% endif %}{% endif %}</title>
  1. Hit save

I hope it helps.
