I am not sure if this is a bug or I am missing any admin setting.
I tried Admin setting:
It does show the category name when I am on **category** page.
But, If i am on **subcategory** page, it only shows subcategory name in page title.
Shouldn’t Page title be like?
**Parent Category → SubCategory → so on?**
Problem Example:
[This page](https://www.truvisa.com/c/usa/news) is missing the parent category name ‘ **USA** ’ in page title
This results in same page title for multiple subcategories (with same name) inside **different** parent categories and SEO is affected.
Example: if i have ‘News’ subcategory under parent categories like **USA-\>News** and **Australia-\>News**.
Both subcategory pages will have the same Page title even though they belong to two different parent categories.
Please help with a setting, if any, that i may have missed.

Oh you mean the literal subcategory page ``.
Sure I can see that, but I expect it will be a bit of a micro-optimization… on the other hand, it is pretty trivial to “fix”, so why not? Can you take that @gerhard?

Thanks @codinghorror for replying.
Yes, I mean the attribute on the page should include the Parent categories as well.
Looking forward for the fix.

That should fix it:
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/7576](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/7576)
With the following hierarchy: PARENT CAT → SUB CAT
The title anchor will now print: “Latest PARENT CAT/SUB CAT topics - SITE TITLE” when browsing subcat page.

If you are self hosted and on Tests-passed (the default) you can upgrade now, either from the command line or at /admin/upgrade.
