On Google all articles titles seem to appear with a | after them…how can I remove this?

If you’re using a plugin like Yoast SEO, easy to change. Or, you would have to edit the code with help from Marius/Radu. It’s typical to have site meta tag for title (look at your page source if you haven’t done so in past)…

* Default for WordPress:

Site Name » Name of Article

* Common change by most theme authors for SEO/clarity:

Name of Article | Site Name

* Some people change this to something like (I do this using Yoast SEO)

Name of Article • Site Name

Likely you can look at the functions.php file and search for the wp_title function and then edit that to your needs. (MUCH easier to use Yoast SEO!)

🙂 glad to help.

BTW: I think on one of our sites we actually do something like

Name of Article • by Author Name on Name of Site
