Meta title W3C Validation Error with

Question

On the single post, the WordPress generates the meta title automatically but it gives validation error.

This is what WordPress generates:

<meta name="title" content="The post title goes here"  />

And this is the error I get:

Bad value title for attribute name on element meta: Keyword title is not registered.

How can this be fixed? Please help.

Answer 1

title is not part of the current HTML5 spec for meta element names. See here. The <title> element in the document head should be enough for metadata purposes.
