17,750 PointsWordpress Title Tag
I'm using a static front-page for my wordpress site and the site title keeps displaying a "-" before my site name.
Any idea what's wrong?
<?php
if (function_exists('is_tag') && is_tag()) {
single_tag_title("Tag Archive for ""); echo '" - '; }
elseif (is_archive()) {
wp_title(''); echo ' Archive - '; }
elseif (is_search()) {
echo 'Search for "'.wp_specialchars($s).'" - '; }
elseif (!(is_404()) && (is_single()) || (is_page())) {
wp_title(''); echo ' - '; }
elseif (is_404()) {
echo 'Not Found - '; }
if (is_front_page()) {
bloginfo('name'); echo ' - '; bloginfo('description'); }
else {
bloginfo('name'); }
if ($paged>1) {
echo ' - page '. $paged; }
?>

Treehouse Guest TeacherHi Spyros,
One thing I noticed is that it looks like there is an extra parenthesis here in your first if statement
single_tag_title("Tag Archive for ""); echo '" - ';
Should be
single_tag_title("Tag Archive for "); echo '" - ';
Try fixing that and see if it changes anything, if not, I'll take another look :)

3,332 PointsYou can modify title tags for your blog from wordpress admin area - settings -> general I always use an SEO plugin (Yoast WordPress SEO is great and free) to generate an SEO title tag.

Treehouse Guest TeacherI would definitely recommend an SEO plugin for this as well. It will take some of the complexity out of your template code and allow for more flexibility and customization of the title tags.
