For both tbronson and Jeff, it might help for you to see what I actually use on this site now that I'm running 2.5.1:

<title><?php wp_title('|',TRUE,'right'); bloginfo(’name’); if ( is_home() ) { ?> | <?php bloginfo('description'); } ?></title>

I don't know much about the All In One SEO plugin, since I've never used it. It may change the title for you dynamically so making the change in your theme won't make any difference. I do know that some themes out there either include support for Optimal Title directly, or include code that does a similar thing in their header.php files, so you might have to poke around to see if the theme your using is doing something non-standard.

I thought it was a stupid mistake, but it wasn’t. I still couldn’t get this to work for me.
Then I remembered where it was set in the admin, in the All In One SEO plugin. So, do you even need to set this code up in the theme if you are using this plugin?

Nevermind, stupid error, ignore.

I feel stupid, but I am not able to get my title to change.
The title reads Rotheblog | (Title)
I inserted this line of code in the correct place, and expected to see (Title) | Rotheblog

What am I doing wrong? Is there a setting in the admin area I need to change too?

Hi,
I’m about to upgrade to Wordpress 2.5, and while beginning to look around for new plugin versions and stuff, I found my way here. I just wanted to say thanks for your time and for that cool plugin.
