    I’ve seen some 2 year old posts on here, all closed but none resolved, every one mentions adding support in the next version, but I can’t find anything else on it.

    I have a custom post type, made using “register_post_type()” in my functions.php, but I don’t see a way to modify the title or description anywhere in the seo framework. Am I missing something?

    Hello! I think you’ve found topics unrelated to what you’re inquiring about.

    When you register a custom post type, you should make sure it’s publicly queryable (see is_post_type_viewable()) and registered at init.

    At “SEO Settings > General Settings > Exclusions”, you’ll find your post type listed when it’s registered correctly. The option for the post type there should remain unchecked if you wish to edit the titles and other metadata via TSF.

    Hello. The post type shows up under Exclusions, but I don’t see where to edit the title and description. What am I missing?

    Just to be clear, I’m not talking about editing the title and description on individual posts, I’m talking about the archive page that displays all of the posts.

    For a custom post type called “Projects”, /projects/ lists all projects, but I don’t see anywhere to edit the title or description for that page, since it doesn’t exist under Pages.

    Hello!

    Sorry for my belated reply. I understand what you wish to do now.

    The ability to do that is planned for the next major update. See the long-standing issue https://github.com/sybrew/the-seo-framework/issues/20#issuecomment-252874509.

    We held off implementing it for supporting perpetually new WordPress functionality took greater priority, and before that, I didn’t believe the plugin’s main functionality was reliable enough. We’re at a point now where we can implement it, though ??

    Thanks. That’s the thread that I found as well, it was started in 2016 so I thought it would be resolved by now. I guess I’ll keep an eye on the patch notes.
