Seeking a Wordpress SEO by Yoast Plugin expert.

Anyone here a bit of a Wordpress SEO by Yoast Plugin expert? I have a niggly little problem that`s driving me round the Twist.

The plugin is auto prefacing my title tag with the site name - even thought I`m entering the title tag on the actual page. I`ve gone through all the settings but can`t work out where to switch this feature off.

Justin Y: Have you checked the header.php to see if its including the site name? If so, you can remove the bloginfo(`name`) snippet and just use wp_title()

Example:

If you have the title structure set properly in Yoast most likely this might be the issue. I`ve noticed at times that Yoasts option to fix the wp_title in general settings doesn`t always work.
Dewaldt Huysamen: have you enabled force rewrite titles in the Titles and Meta settings tab?
