WordPress wp_title blank on index page

Question

I\'m new to WordPress and just installed version 3.3.1.

I did some googling regarding this question and found some answers but they were relevant to version 2.7 and

Answer 1

Update for WordPress versions (>= 4.4)

Try this

function some_name(){
    add_theme_support( 'title-tag' );
}

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'some_name' );

Do this in functions.php and remove 'title' tag from head...

Answer 2

The new hack from Codex is as follows:

<title><?php wp_title(''); ?></title>

Then in your "functions.php" from theme file :

add_filter( 'wp_title', 'baw_hack_wp_title_for_home' );
function baw_hack_wp_title_for_home( $title )
{
  if( empty( $title ) && ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) ) {
    return __( 'Home', 'theme_domain' ) . ' | ' . get_bloginfo( 'description' );
  }
  return $title;
}

Answer 3

Here's is what I read from Codex:

If you are using a custom homepage with custom loops and stuff, you will have an empty wp_title. Here goes a neat hack to add the description/tagline at the wp_title place on homepage:

<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> | <?php is_front_page() ? bloginfo('description') : wp_title(''); ?></title>

So use is_front_page() to get the title on homepage, the way it is suggested in above code.

Answer 4

no need. Just add the <? Php wp_head ();?> Code at the end of the header.php

good luck.

Answer 5

But if you use a static home page, this is the code:

<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> &raquo; <?php is_front_page() ? bloginfo('description') : wp_title(''); ?></title>

Answer 6

I use this method in my WordPress site

//Meta Header
if ( ! function_exists( 'dima_wp_title' ) ) :
  function dima_wp_title( $title ) {

    if ( is_front_page() ) {
      return get_bloginfo( 'name' ) . ' | ' . get_bloginfo( 'description' );
    } elseif ( is_feed() ) {
      return ' | RSS Feed';
    } else {
      return trim( $title ) . ' | ' . get_bloginfo( 'name' ); 
    }

  }
  add_filter( 'wp_title', 'dima_wp_title' );
endif;
