Page title in tab problem

[alexwg85]

I am having an issue with the page title when looking at it in a tab in your browser. Mine just says ‘Upcoming Events |’, when it should say ‘Upcoming Events | Quay Arts’. It is fine on all other pages, just the events listing that shows all of them.

I checked the demo of The Events Calendar and it is fine so I am not sure what it is. Here is a link to the page: http://www.quayarts.org.gridhosted.co.uk/where/events/

I have uninstalled my theme and the problem no longer exists but I cannot seem to work out what the problem is. Can you help please?

Howdy alexwg85,

That is a hard question. Are you running any SEO plugins? What happens if you disable them while running the current theme?

Either way, try using this snippet to change the title values. If you only need to adjust upcoming then you can delete all of the other if{} statements from there. Did that fix it?

Please let me know if you have questions or anything. Cheers!

I am running SEO by Yoast but disabling that makes no difference.

Where do you want me to put this snippet? In the functions file?

[alexwg85]

Okay I have fixed the issue. In the twentyfourteen theme there is a function that changes how the title works. I copied it into my theme and now the problem is solved.

It seems strange that this function is not a part of the plugin – if you need to know which function it is, then go to line 460 of the twentyfourteen functions file.

First of all, that is an amazing find. I am glad you got it working. The strange thing is, that function is not required by our plugin at all. I run many themes without it. Somehow I guess it was just enough to get things working together though — though I am not totally sure why. Puzzling, but sometimes it is best to not ask questions 😀 . Please post back here in the forums should need anything else.
