The Admin panel allows you to change the Site Title, which is used for the browser display of your site name, but because this same tag is also used to auto populate the Terms of Use and other areas of the site, it is not able to be fully utilized as a true descriptive html <title> tag for SEO purposes.
Perhaps there should be an additional field >Admin>Settings>Basic Settings>Main Settings>Title info ...this is my suggested addition
The composite string of <site title> and <title info> would then be combined and inserted into the html <title> tag
I have tried posting this to TRAC, but do not have permissions to do so. Any ideas?

Navigate this admin page :
Settings -
Basic Settings - Site Title (here you site title!): PS: If possible do not write me personally, please try to ask on the forum first |
No, the Dolphin site title you set there is INAPPROPRIATE for a html <title> tag.
A truly useful, descriptive and SEO optimized html <title> tag requires more than just the site name which is all you are really setting with the Dolphin Site Title field.
The tag set at Admin>Settings>Basic Settings>Main Settings> should be relabeled as "Site name", because it is not truly a useful html <title> tag.

How can I get this posted to TRAC? |
I
solved this problem for my site.
In file your-template/header.html
at the top of the file, there was this:
<title>
__page_header__ </ title>
__page_header__
or you remove and then replace with your title choice, either you like
me, you leave, and you add your title to:
example: <title> The title of my
site __page_header__ </ title>
Once this file
on your server, empty file / cache

Hmmmm... I could probably add the missing meta tags there as well....

Nope, doesn't work

This does not work? Have
you done that well in the template file you use, or default in the
template base? Have
you completely emptied the cache folder then? For me it perfectly Job title Yes, you can also add
the missing metas, no problem.

I personally don't see how manually editing the title field is changing anything. I added 4 more meta tag lines, dumped the server cache, dumped the cache in my browser and it had no effect. The title tag will add whatever you enter in the admin field and just below that, it also identifies your actual, domain name as the base tag 'base href="xxx.com"' . I believe your license is actually attached to this base indentification and now what you place in the title name field in admin anyway
