I tough this is the module to change the meta title tag and meta description tag.

It changes the description and keyword all right...but the meta title  stays the same.

I  have the article title -  Employer branding - pracownik staje się klientem

But I want the meta title Employer branding - pracownik staje się klientem - Poznań, Warszawa

At the moment the meta title on every psgr is a mix of 2  - the article title and the suffix from the homepage title Agencja PR Q&A Communications – Poznań, Warszawa

I have even changed it in the code from 

<title><?php if($page->id > 1) { echo $page->title .' - '; } echo $home->title ?></title>
TO
<title><?php echo $page->title; ?></title>

BUT still the same. The mix of title with the suffix Agencja PR Q&A Communications – Poznań, Warszawa

added to all article titles makes the meta tag title too long. It Is more than 70 characters on every page. which is no good.

Do I have to change something in the source code?

look 

Ok I have chosen the template to MarkupSEO module.  

I does change the meta description and meta keyword which is very handy.

But it didn't change the meta title tag.

It's still the one withe the suffix added that comes from the homepage title 

Eventhough i have type in the short one Employer branding - pracownik staje się klientem - Poznań, Warszawa

I still have Employer branding - pracownik staje się klientem - Agencja PR Q&A Communications – Poznań, Warszawa

Where is the problem ? Why id doesn't change the title tag????

OK thanks

Just to clarify - The author here - means the author of the module or the author of the website  or it doesn't matter what I type in there.

I don't want to blow up the site...

Can I revive the subject ? 

I want to use this module for a website I inherited, (I didn't use the processwire before)

There is one thing that makes me uncertain.

In:  Choose the templates which should get a SEO tab 
There is a note Be careful with this field. If you remove an entry all of it's "seo_*" fields get deleted (including the data).

Is there any risk there

An do I have to type in the Author and Sitename?

Go to: Setup > Fields > altTitle > Input tab:

 

Did you get an error (if yes, what?) or you just did not see any change in the source code of the page? If the latter, did you make sure you are not watching some sort of cache? (browser, cloudflare, ProCache, ProcessWire cache etc...)

I have no  experience with this one but if you are still getting cached pages then it is what makes it hard for you to work on any changes.

Seeing how much trouble it means to make changes to the site, you might want to ask for some paid help. Have you considered this?

Id dit not get any error. It just did't change a thing

i swaped

<title><?php if($page->id > 1) { echo $page->title .' - '; } echo $home->title ?></title>
for
<title><?php echo $page->title; ?></title>

In the code of the file where head section is -  in my case - blog-main.inc .

And no change .... the meta tag title is still with the suffix that comes from the home page  :

Employer branding - pracownik staje się klientem - Agencja PR Q&A Communications – Poznań, Warszawa

And no this is no cache.

The other thing is that my input tab in the field edditng panel looks different...

There is no minimum or maximum field there....

Yeah, just change:

to:

<title><?php echo $page->title; ?></title>

Hi 

I have change that to

<title><?php echo $page->title; ?></title>

in blog-main.inc  -  the only place with head section I could find.  It didn't work  .

I inherited that site, and I will change it for a wordpress someday but in  the meantime I have to fix few things. 

I added there GoogleAnalytics tag and it's not working either.

I chose type - TextareaLanguage

An I will use this one,

<title><?php echo $page->get("altTitle|title"); ?></title>

Just that 70 characters setup

2) On the field 'Input' tab. Set max length to 70 and add a 'character counter'.

Hi.

How can I setup 70 characters in the input tab an how to add character counter?

Yeah, just change:

<title><?php if($page->id > 1) { echo $page->title .' - '; } echo $home->title ?></title>

to:

<title><?php echo $page->title; ?></title>

...and from then on the title tag of each page will be exactly what you type in the 'Title' field with nothing more added to it.

Ok thank's , I will try that ....

Ideally I would like to have something added to the title tag. So the title meta tag would  be diiferent that title field and up to 70 characters long.

The added text to title field would be exactly the one I would need, different on every page. You see what I am trying to do.

I need to have a possibility to have a different title tag than the tilte field on every page (up 70 characters long but not more.  Now they are all too long)

I'm not even sure if you can log into the admin on your site? If you can, you will see the 'Title' field on each page if you edit it.

I do have an acces to the admin panel. 

That's what I'm talkin about, I want to have the meta tag without the added suffix ( Agencja PR Q&A Communications – Poznań, Gdańsk, Warszawa, Bristol that comes from the home page. 

How can I change it just on one page

Not on every page. Later if it will work I would change the title meta tag for other pages manually.

Can I find that code and just cancel   Agencja PR Q&A Communications – Poznań, Gdańsk, Warszawa, Bristol

<title>Employer branding - pracownik staje się klientem - Agencja PR Q&A Communications – Poznań, Gdańsk, Warszawa, Bristol</title>

The code is in a template file. We can't tell you which one because you can set up processwire according to your own preferences.

If it's a live site then the files will be on the server yes.

Template files go in '/site/templates/' so you need to start by looking in that folder.

You're only looking for the file that contains the code that ouputs the <head> section of your site, that's where the meta (and title) tags go.

It might be '/site/templates/_main.php' or '/site/templates/header.php' or '/site/templates/includes/header.php/'.

See the problem? We can't guess as there's not a 'correct' or single way to organize processwire. This is one reason why I use it over any other CMS I've tried.

If you're willing to learn, then with your current skillset, I think you'd go further with processwire. However, of you mean 'nice websites' by copy/paste then wordpress would work better for you simply because there are 1000s of code examples.

The only code with head section is in blog-main.inc , there is a bit with title tag bit:

    <!doctype html>
    <html lang="pl" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/html">
        <head>

            <meta charset="UTF-8"/>

    <title><?php if($page->id > 1) { echo $page->title .' - '; } echo $home->title ?></title>

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $config->urls->templates; ?>css/main.css?4"/>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $config->urls->templates; ?>css/page.css?4"/>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $config->urls->templates; ?>vendor/magnific-popup/magnific-popup.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $config->urls->templates; ?>vendor/owl-carousel/owl.carousel.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $config->urls->templates; ?>vendor/owl-carousel/owl.theme.css">
    <link href="<?php echo $config->urls->templates; ?>vendor/custom-scrollbar-plugin/jquery.mCustomScrollbar.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, user-scalable=no"/>

    <meta name="description" content="<?php echo (strlen($page->meta_description) > 0) ? $page->meta_description : $configuration->meta_description ; ?>">
    <meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo (strlen($page->meta_keywords) > 0) ? $page->meta_keywords : $configuration->meta_keywords; ?>">
    <meta name="robots" content="NOODP">
    <link href="<?php echo $config->urls->templates; ?>vendor/bxslider/jquery.bxslider.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

    <base href="<?php echo $config->urls->root; ?>">

    <script>
        var URL = "<?php echo $config->urls->root; ?>";
    </script>

Would I change <title><?php if($page->id > 1) { echo $page->title .' - '; } echo $home->title ?></title> 

for 

<title><?= $page->get("windowTitle|headingSubtitle"); ?></title>

   I dont want to blow the site....is there any risk

Just to clarify, what I said was not intended as an insult, far from it. I meant with some more learning, you'll be able to do this stuff no problems.

I come from the othet direction in that wordpress makes no sense to me but a 'proper' CMS does. I mean proper by one with custom fields, templates etc... out the box.

Like I said, posting the code you have that renders your head section (or the entire template) would be extremely useful here.

hmm. I had very little time to read this tutorial, Is it possible to do it without knowledge of php. I know only basic html and that's enough for wordpress to create nice websites..... it seems like it's not enough here.  Where can i find that code You are talking about? Is it It in the admin panel or in some folder on the server ? Person who was a developer of that site changed the job , and there's noone whoo can do it in the firm.  I just want to make the meta tags right it should not be that compilacated. 

Thanks

I wiil read the tutos tommorow and that wiil clarify the whole thing. 

I don't understand how they work that's true,  that's why I am asking for tips. Yesterday I have seen the processwire for the first time, and it's very much differnt from wordpress where everything is simple. I was asked to optimize the text and correct the meta tags for this page and I am indded having a problems with this title tag. 

Meta tag title is not allways the same as title.

here

http://www.qacommunications.com/pl/case-study/employer-branding-pracownik-staje-sie-klientem/

The title is Employer branding - pracownik staje się klientem

And the Meta title tag is Employer branding - pracownik staje się klientem - Agencja PR Q&A Communications – Poznań, Gdańsk, Warszawa, Bristol   .........which is too long

The processwire is adding automatically - Agencja PR Q&A Communications – Poznań, Gdańsk, Warszawa, Bristol   

I want to set up a title tag manualy for each page  for SEO reasons.

Will Markup SEO work for ProcessWire 2.7.3 ...is it safe to install ?

And will it do the trick of adding the field for title tag?

Is there any easier way to do it for example installing some module like MarkupSEO
It should basic stuff - setting up a title tag for a page.

Ok I've created a windowTitle field.

It doesn't show up in the allready existing  case study page.

I still dont' know where to put the code.  in details, input, actions? 

help:)

You can use the pipe character too. I use this:

<meta name="description" content="<?php if ($page->metaDescription) {echo $page->metaDescription;} ?>">
<title><?= $page->get("windowTitle|headingSubtitle"); ?></title>

I use field 'windowTitle' to specifically change the main title for each page individually for SEO purposes. If not present or present but blank, use 'headingSubtitle' field.

Thanks for You answers, but processwire is new to me ( I was working before on Wordpress) . Do I have to create a new field in edit template ?

Where would I add that code.  I have an acces to the serwer if it's not possible through the admin panel.

Hi

How can I change the title meta tag for an individual tag , so I could set up a different one for each page.
I need to improve SEO and this is important.

Thanks in advance
