I changed the code of setPageTitle() to leave out the URL and the dash. So now it is: /** * @param string */ function setPageTitle( $title=null ) { if (@$GLOBALS[\'mosConfig_pagetitles\']) { $title = trim( htmlspecialchars( $title ) ); $title = stripslashes($title); $this->_head[\'title\'] = $title ? $GLOBALS[\'mosConfig_sitename\'] . $title : $GLOBALS[\'mosConfig_sitename\']; } } 2. Then I changed all references in content.php from setPageTitle/SetPageTitle to setPageTitle[b]Alias[/b] so that setPageTitle doesn\'t get used for any page but the home page. 3. Then I changed back the line that controls the home page title, to not pass in a parameter. (The function is coded to handle this. It looks up the Site Name if there is no parameter passed in.) function frontpage( $gid, &$access, $pop, $now, $limit, $limitstart ) { ....etc.... // Dynamic Page Title $mainframe->SetPageTitle( ); ....etc.... } 4. And finally I set the title that I wanted for the home page through the Admin back end. Site -> Global Configuration -> Site Site Name: the I want for my home page. Since all the other pages do not use SetPageTitle() to set their title, I am free to use the Site Name: box to enter the for the home page.
