Hi again,

I have checked and cannot find anything which may cause this issue.
Can you please re-check from your end too?

Hi again,

I got some interesting news on thread from yoast which have figured out that there are 2 title tags found in source code and this may harm the google approach. Find here the info’s they found in this thread.

We have inspected the source of this page and noticed that there are 2 title tags: https://i.imgur.com/T62o4nT.png

It seems to be an issue on all your pages, you have 2 titles tags. One of them is not generated by Yoast SEO, it would be best to find out which plugin (or your theme) is doing this and remove the extra title tag.

Regarding the titles shown in Google being different than the ones you have set, we have inspected the URLs which you have provided and noticed that the title tags match what you have set in Yoast SEO.

If you have recently made these changes, it is possible that Google has not updated its index and is still showing an outdated title. In this case, we recommend waiting up to 2 weeks then check again if the titles have been updated.

If the changes are not recent, then it means that Google has decided to ignore your title and replace it with a different one. Unfortunately, in this case, there’s not much you can do other than try again with a new title, hopefully Google will consider the next one better suited.

As a comparison, Bing seems to have indexed your URL with the correct title. That being said, search engines are getting the correct meta data (such as titles) from your website, but it’s up to them if they want to use that or replace it with something else.

Can you please help me to find out why I have 2 title tags in source code and if those are maybe caused by our GD child theme in use?

I am looking forward to your help for solving this issue.

Hi Alex,

I have also created a support request at yoast plugin > https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-titles-in-google-for-our-website-are-showing-wrong/ and got this answer.

We understand that you are experiencing an issue in that the Title you have specified in the plugin settings is not displaying as expected in the search results for your site. Whereas Google typically uses the title from the metadata for indexing, this is not always the case. Google will sometimes modify the title of the URL as it sees fit, as well as sometimes adding the brand or sitename to the end of your title. This is not due to the plugin not functioning as expected, but rather is due to Google modifying the Title it indexes as it’s algorithm has concluded that there is a better version to index.

We also have additional information on this topic available at the following links: https://yoast.com/google-page-title/ and https://kb.yoast.com/kb/google-shows-different-titles-for-my-site/ . Please refer to these articles as the include recommendations for crafting a page title which will help increase the likelihood that Google will use the title you specified instead of modifying your page’s title as it sees fit.

So it seems it is a google problem we cannot solve:
So… Basically, Google says: we know better, you can try and write a title we like, but we reserve to do whatever to make people click on your result.

Hmm – that is anoying.

Hi Alex,

that title should be seen in google search results.
But not sure why not displayed as the setup in yoast title shall be found in google search results.

Looking forward to your answer.

Best, Alex

Hi Alex, Ok but where to do?

Hi Alex,

thanks for finding the problem.
Additionally I have made a WPML helping request and also found out that within main taxonomy settings the slug also was missing to be re-added correctly.
