Changing the Site Title & meta description

I’m a bit confused about what you mean (partly because I don’t use Wordpress or Yoast).

The <title> meta tag, which is what I understand Yoast sets, is not the same thing as the post or article title. The <title> meta tag is what is displayed in your browser tab or header. Are you saying that Yoast should have set it for both the meta tag and the post title?
