Title bar displaying "i%"

Hi,

im having an issue with the title bar in web browsers displaying my websites title name i% for instance "blog - i%,".

I know that you could change the layout of the title name on older versions of squarespaces user interface however i can not find an area that would allow me to change this.

I have attached screenshots showing how it displays on my website and how it displays when posting as a link to facebook.

ultimately i would like for the title bar to display as follows "title of article - blog"

any help with this would be appreciated.

I don't see that in my Chrome browser.

strange @derricksrandomviews, what do you see?

Just to make sure it was not a browser issue on my laptop i have looked at the same link on my phone with chrome mobile and its still there. I have also installed chrome on my laptop and the issue still appears.

I see it in the tab. You need to check your blog page SEO page title settings and check the post SEO settings. I suspect the i% is residing in one or the other. 

Hi @derricksrandomviews, I thought the same however I have checked this and it's not there.

There was an option for it in the page title setting previously and I had all my tabs appearing correctly however the user interface for squarespace has changed and the option to set that parameter is no longer an option.

I personally think it's a bug with Squarespace when they removed that option but then didn't revert my settings to default leaving me with i%. I'm hoping someone from Squarespace has a solution that I'm not seeing, I'm awaiting a response from tech support.

I think the problem is still SEO settings. In 7.1  go to blog page configuration, choose the three dots for a post then settings, then SEO, and scroll down to SEO title (optional) I typed in i% and it showed up in the tab.

Hi @SetinStoneMasonry I'm not aware of anything around SEO has been removed, can you please share a screenshot of your page setting?

Here is for one of my blog post as an example.

@melody495 This is the setting i was looking for, thanks.

the %i was only showing in the search appearance under "items". would this have anything to do with a blog?

I have changed all the settings across the three search apperances to "%p - %s", this seems to have worked and removed the %i.

Is there a way for the title of your blog to be listed in your title bar rather than the word "blog"? on facebook when posting a link to my blog it now comes up "blog - set in stone masonry" which is much better but i would prefer the blog title "the art of repointing - blog".

Thank you both for your help .

I can see where i went wrong now. i% should have been %i. This never showed up until i started a blog so I'm assuming the blog uses the "items" search appearance.

You are correct.

%s = site title

%p = page title

%i = collection item title.

Blog is a collection aka page, and each blog post is a collection item within blog.
