Two title tags

Very strange issue I'm having with my GP sites, and somehow I didn't notice it until now.
Every page has two title tags!
The first is the <title> via the All-in-One SEO plugin. The second is the <title> auto-generated by Wordpress.
If I disable All-in-One SEO, I STILL GET TWO TITLES. It's seriously bizarre.
I was wondering if you've ever encountered this with GP, and if it might have anything to do with the theme.
If it helps, I'm using a child theme with a custom header.php, here's the <head> code:
<head>
<meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>">
<title><?php wp_title( '|', true, 'right' ); ?></title>
<link rel="profile" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo( 'pingback_url' ); ?>">
<?php
wp_head();
$generate_settings = wp_parse_args(
get_option( 'generate_settings', array() ),
generate_get_defaults()
);
?>
<script>
$(".main-title").fitText();
</script>
</head>
Actually figured it would help more for you to see the whole of header.php:
<?php
/**
* The Header for our theme.
*
* Displays all of the <head> section and everything up till <main id="main">
*
* @package Generate
*/
?><!DOCTYPE html>
<html <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
<head>
<meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>">
<title><?php wp_title( '|', true, 'right' ); ?></title>
<link rel="profile" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo( 'pingback_url' ); ?>">
<?php
wp_head();
$generate_settings = wp_parse_args(
get_option( 'generate_settings', array() ),
generate_get_defaults()
);
?>
<script>
$(".main-title").fitText();
</script>
</head>
<body itemtype="http://schema.org/WebPage" itemscope="itemscope" <?php body_class(); ?>>
<?php do_action( 'generate_before_header' ); ?>
<header itemtype="http://schema.org/WPHeader" itemscope="itemscope" id="masthead" role="banner" <?php generate_header_class(); ?>>
<div <?php generate_inside_header_class(); ?>>
<?php do_action( 'generate_before_header_content'); ?>
<?php generate_construct_logo(); ?>
<?php if ( empty( $generate_settings['hide_title'] ) || empty( $generate_settings['hide_tagline'] ) ) : ?>
<div class="site-branding">
<?php if ( empty( $generate_settings['hide_tagline'] ) ) : ?>
<p class="site-description"><?php bloginfo( 'description' ); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( empty( $generate_settings['hide_title'] ) ) : ?>
<h1 class="main-title" itemprop="headline"><a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" title="<?php echo esc_attr( get_bloginfo( 'name', 'display' ) ); ?>" rel="home"><?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></a></h1>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php generate_construct_header_widget(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php do_action( 'generate_after_header_content'); ?>
</div><!-- .inside-header -->
</header><!-- #masthead -->
<?php do_action( 'generate_after_header' ); ?>
<div id="page" class="hfeed site grid-container container grid-parent">
<div id="content" class="site-content">
<noscript>
<ul class="pagenav">
<?php wp_nav_menu( array(
'menu' => 'main',
'depth' => 1
) ); ?>
</ul>
<style>
#site-navigation {display:none;}
.pagenav {margin:0 auto;text-align:center;}
.pagenav:after {content: ".";
display: block;
height: 0;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;}
.menu-item {margin:0 2em 2em 0; list-style:none;float:left;}
.my-account{background:none;}
</style>
</noscript>
<?php do_action('generate_inside_container'); ?>
You need to remove this line as WordPress adds the title tag for you:
<title><?php wp_title( '|', true, 'right' ); ?></title>
got it, thanks!
You're welcome :)
