I have a Joomla 2.5 website and I would like to remove the page/menu name from appearing in the title so it does not display in Google or the browser tab. Currently the homepage is appending 'HOME' to the page title i.e:<title>Example Sitename - Page/Menu Name</title>I know that the Browser Page Title can be found within Page Display Options, but if I leave it empty, it uses the Menu Item Title.Please note that I only want to remove the page/menu name on the front page of site, also the solution should be working for bilingual (or multilingual) websites, that means My Website - Home will be My Website and other languages will follow the same rule, i.e. Mon Website - Accueil will be Mon Website.
How to remove page/menu from page title in Joomla 2.5 and 3+ on front page only
joomla;title;page
As George Okello said, you have to notice the First page's Id. Go to Menu Manager and find them out for each language. There must be a different configuration if you have a plugin for multilingual websites.in my case both ids were 127 and 128. So the solution is to put the following code before the  <jdoc:include type=head />.<?php  $menuItemId = JRequest::getInt('Itemid');  if ($menuItemId == 127) : $this->setTitle('Theater of the Deaf of Greece');  elseif ($menuItemId == 128) : $this->setTitle('  ');  endif;?>Now if you have a multilingual website, all you have to do is to copy the line elseif ($menuItemId == xx ) : $this->setTitle('xxxx'); and paste it before the endif; for as many languages (or pages with unique id's) you wish.
