seo.html and the page title tag

Drew McLellan said:

Normally that would be used in the <title> tag, but it depends on how you've set your site up.

What I thought, which is why I asked, as currently if user edits the 'Page title' the info is not feeding through to the <title> tag in output html (but the description content is)

So how would I set the site up differently to enable title tag editability?

What do you currently have in your page to output the title?

currently <title> tag is hard coded in the html, so would I just remove that? I only ask because I had meta description hard coded too, and using seo.html the description tag was duplicated in output (so I knew editing 'page details' was sort of working)

You can use perch_pages_title to output the title instead of your hard-coded HTML.

Thanks Clive so is that going to output as html <title> content the 'Page title' in 'Page Details'?

Yes.

It does not output the <title> tag however.

Test it and see how it works on your staging/dev site.

So I really need to know how editing the 'page title' item in 'Page Details' outputs the actual <title> tag

I meant that it does not output the <title> tag itself, it outputs the text that you have in page title.

So, you would have this in your page:

<title><?php perch_pages_title(); ?></title>

Thanks Clive for your patience, that works great. I really am thick as two short planks some times lol!
