Site name should be removed from page title

beautylix

Google has removed site name from page title for most websites, and bing is following the trend. Now it is time to remove site name from page title, at least an option could be provided to webmasters.

Would you possibly be able to elaborate a little more please.
I don't know what removing website names means nor what implications there may be.

The <title> format can be customized through the translator. FoF Linguist makes this change easy. There are a few older discussions on this forum that talk about the relevant translation keys.

Providing a setting to the forum owner is challenging, because how many formats should be provided? Forum name after, before, none, page number first, after, etc. The best would be to provide a templating system just for that, and that's essentially what we already have with translations, just without any first-party extension to edit it.

clarkwinkelmann I use English, is there any simple way to change it?

beautylix You can also change english translation keys with Linguist. Your changes maybe will be removed when you update Flarum. So use Linguist is the better option in my opinion.

I have figured it out.

Find /vendor/flarum/core/locale/core.yml

Search with_page_title, you will find with_page_title: "{pageNumber, plural, =1 {{pageTitle} - {forumName}} other {{pageTitle}: Page # - {forumName}}}"

Change this line into

with_page_title: "{pageNumber, plural, =1 {{pageTitle}} other {Page # - {pageTitle}}}"

Clear the cache, all done.
