Why is Neil Patel telling me that all my title tags are not good?

Hey guys,

So I’ve just used that fresh new tool from Neil Patel called SEO Site Audit, which shows me 99 critial errors, of which 99 are due to the lack of title tags. Erm? Not sure what’s going on here. Also 99 title tag errors, but I only have 58 articles published.

I’m using Yoast SEO where theres a SEO Title option and all my articles are marked green light (which is good to go).

Any ideas?

I am running into the same problem. Title tags seem to be missing on all frontend pages after updating to 9.7.3. WordPress 5.1.1 (I’m on a managed hosting platform that doesn’t let me do WordPress updates, they push them through when they are comfortable with them).

SEO site audit reports no title tags, and if you look at the page source you can confirm they are not there. https://eewc.com This is on the frontend only. The backend (dashboard etc…) pages show the title just fine, and do contain the title tag.

I disabled all plugins except TagDiv ones and it had no effect on whether or not the title tag appears in the code.

Please advise ASAP. Don’t want the search engine placement I’ve worked so hard to get to be messed up! I really don’t want to revert to the previous version because then I have to mess with installing that image patch for Visual Composer again.

Thank you,

Le

Hi Colin,

Many thanks for your advice. I have followed it, but to no success. The problem with title tags is still ther and Neil Patel’s site audit gives me 120 critical errors now – 99 of them being no title tags.

Any ideas?

I have confirmed that TagDiv Composer 2.4 is causing this problem. When it’s enabled, the title tags disappear from the page code. When disabled the title tags appear again (though, of course, the look of the site breaks).

This is consistent and repeatable and not dependent on whether other plugins are enabled or disabled.

Just for anyone else reading the thread. It seems like you if you use Yoast you need to deactivate and reactivate that plugin after adding the line in header.php, to make the page titles show up again.
