jekyllhtml-headhtml-title

Why does the title (of the template in use) remain, while I have changed it in <head>?

While inspecting the HTML rendering of my website. I discovered that the meta description, rendered by the "Jekyll SEO tag" in <head>, shows the old title (shown here below) of the Jekyll template I used to build my website.

<title>Airspace | Human centric marketing for p2p & social impact startups</title>

In the following screenshot you can see the "Airspace" appearing.

"Airspace" does not belong there

Problem = that at some times it will show this title, which can confuse my clients.

Here is the <head> of my repo https://github.com/bomengeduld/zentribes.org/blob/master/_includes/head.html

Everything looks good here:

> <meta name="description" content="As a one-stop agency, we deliver a
> full spectrum of online & offline marketing services.">
> 
> 
> <title>Human centric marketing for p2p & social impact
> startups</title>
> 
> {% seo %}
Solution

  • When I render your website locally with jekyll s, I am seeing you are getting two <title> elements. One is from your head.html [1] and the second one is coming from using the jekyll-seo-tag plugin's title: in your _config.yml [2][4]. The Airspace portion of the title is coming from the Jekyll front matter in your index.html [3].

    I assume you want to remove one of these two <title> elements.
