Use Article Title for Page Title
Use Article Title for Page Title
As of Version 1.10, this is built into the main blog page template. If you started using ScotsBlogger before v1.10 (Dec, 2015) then you could enhance the SEO experience by updating your page title logic as described below.
To use the article title for the page title, delete your current <title>...</title> line in the <head>...</head> area of your document, then under the <mvt:item name="scotsblogger" param="head" /> line put the following:
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:scotsblogger:currentpost:title">
<title>&mvt:scotsblogger:currentpost:title;</title>
<mvt:else>
<title>&mvt:store:name;: &mvt:page:name;</title>
</mvt:if>
This will use the default page title if an article is not selected, otherwise the article title will be used as the page title.
If you want to use the article category as the page title when someone clicks on a category name, use this snippet:
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:scotsblogger:currentpost:title">
<title>&mvt:scotsblogger:currentpost:title;</title>
<mvt:elseif expr="g.scotsblogger_category_code">
<title>&mvt:scotsblogger:currentcategory:name;</title>
<mvt:else>
<title>&mvt:store:name;: &mvt:page:name;</title>
</mvt:if>
