How to change the site page title that appears in the browser window?

[Doug]

I'm using the latest WP with Genesis and Atmosphere Pro, and am trying to change what appears in the browser bar at top, when someone's on my home page.

Instead of seeing "Home - Doug Schumacher", I'd like to replace the "Home" with something more descriptive about me, like "Creative Director", so when people have the page bookmarked, the page titles makes a clearer impression.

My research has only shown that by going Settings > General > Site title, I can change it there, but that changes the "Doug Schumacher" part, but not "Home". I'm interested in changing "Home".

Greatly appreciate any input on this.

I tried this in my dev environment using the Genesis Sample theme. There is a filter for document title parts:

add_filter( 'document_title_parts', 'my_page_title' );
function my_page_title( $parts ) {
    $parts = array("My new document title");
    return $parts;
}

You'll have to add a WordPress conditional to target the specific page you want to change. https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags

Thank you, Victor. I thought there might be an easier way in Settings, but I guess not. I'll give that a shot. Thanks for the input.
