Hi Prasanna, first of of all, thanks for your quick response:) Well I tried both of your suggestions (I wasn’t sure if you meant use one option or the other, or both, but I did them all) and nothing fixed the issue.

Since you identified where the problem was I tried a few things within the Yoast settings and nothing helped. So then I went to the Yoast forum and found that a lot of other plugin users are having the same problem. Apparently, the plugin author is away until August 6th. In the meantime, I opted to deactivate the plugin until there is a fix. After deactivation the issue has been fixed. Which brings another question to mind; is there another SEO plugin that you would suggest using as an alternative to the WordPress SEO?

Additionally, thanks for your nice comment about the blog’s header image. Yep, I know those block buttons are kind of standing out and I am currently in process of changing the button color. But with so many colors to choose from, decisions, decisions….LOL

I use Yoast too but I don’t have any problem with google plus.

Have you tried all the related settings you can tweak?

also, the google author link on your site is

https://plus.google.com/b/106130026935602937475/106130026935602937475/posts

I think it should be like this

https://plus.google.com/106130026935602937475/

Ronangelo, thanks for pointing out the error on the google link and I have gone ahead and corrected that. I reactivated Yoast SEO and once again tried what Prasanna suggested but nothing has changed.

I don’t know enough about tweaking the plugin. But based on recent threads on their support site I really don’t my issue is because of anything I am or am not doing. I have included just a few links to the discussions I have found.

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wordpress-seo-by-yoast-adding-extra-text-to-the-end-of-the-title-tag-1

So once again I’m going to deactivate it until a fix is found. Have you tried to post a link to your website on g+ lately?

Yes I just tested to share a link and it was fine.

Have you tried to:

Look at Graphene Options -> Display -> Miscellaneous Display Options to make sure its empty.

on Yoast Title settings

– Check “Force rewrite titles”

– Post Types %%title%% - %%sitename%%

Add this to child theme’s functions.php file, (anywhere between opening and closing php tags)

function my_remove_filter(){

remove_filter( 'wp_title', 'graphene_title' );

}

add_action( 'init', 'my_remove_filter' );

Then go to Yoast WordPress SEO: Titles & Metas –> and uncheck Force rewrite titles.

Then click on Post Types tab and put %%title%% » %%sitename%% in Title template: for Posts and Pages.

Then click on Taxonomies tab and put %%category%% archives » %%sitename%% for Categories

and %%tag%% » %%sitename%% for Tags.

No Luck. I added the php code given in the functions.php file and set the options in SEO as directed, but nothing has changed:(

Quote:

I did see something in their support forum about removing a title tag from header? <title><?php […] ?></title>

Any possibility this might fix the problem?

Full link dicussion

Thank you

Did you fix it? Site name isn’t repeating in your page titles. And, WordPress SEO plugin is also activated in your site.

Maybe a google+ issue?

I really believe its a plugin issue because a flood of new posts are being made daily on null

Also, there is currently a second issue with the categories sitemap.xml giving a 404 message. So for that I just deleted categories from the sitemap for now.
