# Fixing missing add_theme_support in your theme

Since WordPress 4.1, you have to used `add_theme_support('title-tag');` in your functions.php of your theme to display the meta title correctly.

First, open your header.php file and check if `<title><?php wp_title(); ?>` is present.

If it’s true, remove this line.

Then, go to your **functions.php** file of your child theme (or your theme if you don’t have one) and add this snippet:

```
function seopress_theme_slug_setup() {
    add_theme_support( 'title-tag' );
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'seopress_theme_slug_setup' );
```

This, is the correct way to display your meta title in WordPress since 2015! [Learn more on WordPress Official Blog](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/10/20/document-title-in-4-4/).
