Flexible Blogtitle Plugin

Flexible Blogtitle is a lightweight and user friendly WordPress plugin that allows you to define a custom blog title for certain posts and pages.

It comes with an intuitive settings page that lets you define rules under which a certain blog title should be displayed, including:

• Page ID
• Post/page title
• Category

Each object can be assigned with one of the available operators:

• is

Finally, you can set the new blog title that should be displayed if a rule matches the page the viewer is currently viewing.
