How to fix the error that the WordPress SEO Title Tag is too long.
If you automatically import products into WordPress you can’t really control the content.
Therefore i had to limit the amount of characters to keep a good SEO rating.
Solution
<!DOCTYPE html> <html <?php language_attributes(); ?>> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no"/> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> <title><?php $title = wp_title("", false); if(strlen($title) > 70) { $title = substr($title, 0, 70); } echo $title; ?></title> <?php wp_head(); ?>
Search for the header.php file (or whatever the theme is using as a header file).
There you can place a php code which calculates the string length of the title tag and also cuts it if it is too long.
Caution:
You have to use the parameter false at the wp_title function.
If you don’t do that, the title tag is taking some strange values.
