Duplicate Title tag issue

Hi there,

Thank you for contacting us.

The “duplicate title tag issue” when using the free version of Elementor is likely due to how Elementor handles page titles. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

Possible Causes:

1. Elementor Adds an Extra <title> Tag
   • Some themes already generate the <title> tag, and Elementor might be adding another one.
2. SEO Plugin Conflict
   • If you’re using an SEO plugin (like Yoast SEO, Rank Math, or All in One SEO), it might be generating a title while Elementor also does.
3. Theme Compatibility Issue
   • Some themes do not properly remove Elementor’s title when it is active.

Solutions:1. Check Theme Compatibility

• Switch to a default WordPress theme like “Twenty Twenty-Four” and check if the issue persists.
• If the issue is theme-related, check if your theme has an option to disable the automatic title.

2. Disable Elementor’s Default Title

If your theme already outputs a title, disable Elementor’s page title in you page setting – https://elementor.com/help/how-to-hide-page-titles-in-wordpress/.

3. Check SEO Plugin Settings

• If using an SEO plugin:
  • Ensure only one source is generating the title tag.
  • In Yoast SEO, go to SEO → Search Appearance and modify the title settings.
  • In Rank Math, go to Titles & Meta settings and adjust accordingly.

4. Modify the Theme’s header.php (If Necessary)

If none of the above fixes work, you can manually remove the extra title tag by editing your theme’s header.php file.

1. Go to Appearance → Theme Editor.
2. Open header.php and look for this line:phpCopyEdit<title><?php wp_title(); ?></title>
3. Remove or comment out the line if your SEO plugin is handling the title.

5. Test by Temporarily Disabling Plugins

• Deactivate all plugins except Elementor and see if the issue persists.
• If it disappears, reactivate plugins one by one to identify the conflict.

Final Step: Clear Cache

• Clear your browser cache.
• Clear your website’s cache (if using WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, etc.).
• If using a CDN (like Cloudflare), purge the cache.

Hope this helps you.

Kind regards,
