Hi Tom

What's the best way to change the separator in the <title> tag?

I've found https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/wp_title but it's still not clear where to customise the separator, or how this function differs from the default titles.

All I really need is to change a single character from '|' to '-'.

Thanks

Tara

Hi Tara. Try adding this to a child theme functions.php file:

add_filter( 'wp_title', 'my_wp_title' );
function my_wp_title($title) {
    $title = str_replace( "|","-",$title );
    return $title;
}
