Thanks Rob – good catch, Trent. I understand now, and yes, less code is always good. But I was afraid to touch it since it works to do what I wanted.

Technically Trent is correct. The PHP code in that title tag lacking a little bit. You can clean it up and make it run just a little better. With that in mind, the one Scott posted will still work fine.

I pasted that right out of my own theme, where clearly it works well, and it’s in use on literally dozens of sites, not only on my server.

I wonder what’s up? Here is is again on a fresh copy/paste –

<?php if ( is_single() ) { ?><?php } ?><?php wp_title(”); ?> <?php<br /> if (is_home()) { ?><?php } else { ?> | <?php } ?> <?php bloginfo(’name’); ?><br />

Interesting post, but the title code #5 you used above doesn’t make any sense. If you copy/paste it won’t work and unnecessarily goes in and out of php.

Is a better solution.

Great use of the 10 Commandments. For the 11th Commandment, I’d add the Automatic Update. It is a real time saver in the long run.

Great article, Scott. Thanks.

A few things that I didn’t know, and others that I do because I’ve been told to but didn’t understand why.

Much appreciated.

Regards,
Laurie.
