  Hi there,
  Follow these steps to change the name in the Browser tab:
  1. Login to your WordPress account.
  2. Click on My Site on the top left corner of the blue navigation bar.
  3. You will see a Theme option. Click on the customize button just beside the Theme option. This will open the site customizer.
  4. At the top of the customizer sidebar you will see a text something like this:
  “you are customizing The Mini Farm Minute” – click on it.
  5. This will open up the side identity editor. Change the text on the Site Title text field to “Hardly A Housewife”.
  6. Finally click “Save & Publish” button on the top of the sidebar. This will update the site name on the Browser Tab.

  Hope this helps :)

  Just to clarify this, on your homepage, the browser tab will be formatted like this:

  Your Site Title ⁠– Tagline

  On individual pages and posts, you’ll see the title of the page or post, followed by your site title. For example:

  Contact⁠ – Your Site Title

  Automatically generated archive pages, like the ones you’ll get for category and tags, will show the name of the archive and the site title in the browser tab. All of these formats will apply to the titles in social media links as well.

  Some of our plans will allow you to customize the browser tab, either through a plugin or with our built-in features:
