• Choose to display the pagenumber, author, or even display a title field in your ‘write’ page to override with your own when required

The only other thing you should know about this plugin are that before you activate it, you need to comment out any other title or meta keyword or description tags listed in your header.php file (which you most likely will have). If you’re not sure whether you got them all or not, this plugin even has a ‘compatibility check’ on the WP SEO plugin settings page that will look for double tags and alert you if there are any before you turn it on.
