I'm having a problem with the title of my pages in Joomla 2.5.2.
For example, my site name would be: "The big PROJECT" and I set that the parameter "Include site name in page title" to "before".
On my menu items settings, in "Page Display Options", I set "Browser Page Title" to "Home". When I set it with an uppercase "H", the title displays like this:
"The big PROJECT - The big PROJECT - Home". If I set with a lowercase "h" ("home"), then the page title appears as "The big PROJECT - home" without showing two times the site name.
Is there something I missed? Why is the title displaying the site name twice when there's a capitalized menu title?
Thanks,
Jeremie
The problem was with the plugin used for the drop-down menu. I removed that plugin and tested with the normal menu, and everything was fine.
It really took me a while to figure out, as I was trying to tweak and tweak to make it work.
Hope that can help someone... Always test the plugins!

The name of my site appears in the title of all of my site's pages.
How can I hide the site name in one of my articles ("only one")?
You don't hide the name through the article itself, but by changing the setting for the menu item that opens the article.
So go to the backend, open the menu item and go to the Page settings (sorry, I'm not working with the English version of Joomla, so I don't know the exact name). The second option on that screen (show page title) must be set to No.
I tried to look online for this but everything I found, gives instructions on how to remove the article title... and I don't want to remove the article title.
The website is http://dev.iguardsystem.it/
The article title is: Rilevazione Presenze - Controllo Accessi - iGuard which is fine, that I want to keep.
On top of that, it's shown the title of the home menu-item, which, in this case, is: Home.
How can I hide that?
I figured it out. Apparently the "Page heading" option, removes the Home menu-item title.
If you're referring to the text shown in the red border in the image below:
Then this is the Breadcrumbs module. You can disable it by going to :
Joomla backend >> Module Manager >> Find the Breadcrumbs module >> Unpublish
Click on the menu item > Under the "Menu Title" are a number of tabs. Click on the "Page Display" tab > Change "Browser Page Title" to the name you want.
Does this help?
I am creating a Joomla website(Rockettheme template). The problem is that when I add it into the Google search, the title of the link appears as the name for the Rockettheme template, and I can't change it to the name of my website. Here is a picture of the google search :
How can I change the Ximenia-July 2012 Template Demo to the title that I want?
As Super Administrator, you should have access to the Global Configuration, which is where you can update the Site Title.
In the back-end Administration, go to your main Control Panel, go to Global Configuration, and in the first section "Site" there should be a field for "Site Name". Enter the name of your website that you want.
While you're there, you should also scroll down to the Metadata Settings and update your Site Meta Description with a short description of what your site is about, as this is used on the Google Search Engine Results Page as well.

Well I know your feel bro :)
OK If I guessed it correct,
you have to go to the main menu, in menu manager.
select 'home' menu item, and then go to 'page display options'
there you can find what you seem to looking for, viz the first input box labeled 'Browser Page Title'.
I am building a multilingual site using Joomla 3.1.5 and am having trouble in getting the menu item for the active page to be higlighted in the English version only.
By inspecting the HTML source I can see that the active menu item (a HTML li tag) has css classes "current active" in all languages except English. In the English version of the site, none of the menu item would be selected. I am totally lost in fiddling with the settings and wonder if anyone has any idea on this issue?
I found the answer myself. The menu being wrongly shown was the one from "ALL" language, once I unpublished the "ALL" menu, the real "English" menu got shown up correctly with the active one being marked with css class "current active".
I'm working on a site in Joomla! and on the homepage, at the top of the article, it comes up with a h1 of the website name. The pagesource says (Note it's not the article title.)
Any idea how to get rid of it?
Thanks,
Steph
You can set this h1 tag not to display via the Parameters - System section of your Menu Item Manager screen in administrator ... this page has a nice depiction of the steps.
It's so simple
Just do the following :
Login to the Joomla Administrator Interface
Go to the Menu Manager
Select your Menu
Select your Menu Item (Home Menu)
On the right hand, Click Parameters (System)—> and in the *Show Page Title—->*Just Select No.
That's all.
This is not the desired solution, since many people, (including myself) actually need to be able to Set/Override the page title (That Appears in the Browser’s Title bar), and setting Page Title to no here will also remove the functionality to Configure the Browser title (which is important for SEO among other things).
Anyway, I have searched and not been able to find a fully correct solution via CMS or PHP Code. The closest solution which is not fully perfect, but unlikely to cause significant (if any) negative effect on your site is through Javascript (Example is JQuery).
jQuery(document).ready( function($) {
$(‘.componentheading’).empty();
});
This can also be done is JS with no JQuery. When I find a better method of doing this I’ll let you know.This should actually be done by removing output from a template file.I don’t know which one yet. When I do, I’ll post it…
When setting the page title not to show in the menu item as stated in other answers, this will not stop the text entered in the page title box being used as the browser title, it will just stop it being shown in the page.
Using javascript to remove it is not a good idea.
1. It will only work for browsers with javascript enabled
2. Search engine spiders will still see it. As the component heading for articles is 'articles' by default it will see all your pages with the same h1 tag.
Just turn it off in the menu item and enter your browser title in the text box above.
