How To Run Chrome From Within Notepad++

If you have recently tried to Run Chrome from within Notepad++ recently, you've probably encountered the same issue I did.  Chrome didn't run.

The fix is actually really simple.  Open up the Run box in Notepad++ and browse to your installation of Chrome.

ie.  C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\Chrome.exe

Select the file when you find it.  Now, the trick is:


  1. Put quotation marks around the path you see in the Run box. 
  2. Now, put 1 space after the closing quotation mark.
  3. Type this: $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)
It'll look something like this:



Click Run.  If Chrome opens, click Save and set your hotkey.

    1. What type of file are you trying to run in Chrome? If it's just a blank page, it'll give you an error in Chrome because it doesn't know what you're trying to display. If you open up a .php or .html file, it should fire up fine.

Wordpress Yoast SEO Plugin and Duplicate Titles Fix

If you're using the Yoast SEO Wordpress plugin and experiencing an issue with your site's title appearing twice (ie.  2Bluesolutions Tech Blog - What Is Kickstarter - 2Bluesolutions Tech Blog), then there is a simple fix that seems to work for many people. You need to edit the header.php file for your Wordpress theme. My particular Wordpress theme had this for the title meta tag: <title><?php wp_title('&laquo;', true, 'right'); ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?></title> You need to change it to something much more simplistic.  What you should replace it with is this: <title><?php wp_title(''); ?></title> That seems to fix the issue, at least for my sites.
