Migration of Custom Post Types – Double Homepage Title

    I just migrated from Yoast WordPress SEO and have a little problem with the automatic appending of the homepage title to my custom post types.

    Before (with Yoast) I configured (inside a custom post) a meta title like:
    item name – blog name

    Now, after migrating with the SEO Data Transporter I get this as meta title (without the possibility to change it):
    item name – blog name – blog name

    I would like to get rid of the additional appended blog name, but as I deactivated the Yoast Plugin I don’t see how to edit it within the custom post editing form. In articles, categories, tags I can edit the title and description, but not in my custom post types. Is there anything I can activate in the custom post types or Advanced custom fields (ACF) to edit the title (and meta description)?

    Hi devcri,

    I hope you’re doing well!

    The CPT has to support these two things, prior to allowing SEO settings:

    title
editor

    The editor is the (tinyMCE) box where you can add manual content.

    I do wish to ask, is the title not the same as the title within the og:title tag?

    For example:

    <title>Item - Name - Name</title>
<meta property="og:title" content="Item - Name" />

    If this is the case, I’d advice you to report to the theme author that the title-tag support should be included in the theme.

    Please refer to this plugin’s FAQ under heading: “My home page title is different from the og:title, or doesn’t do what I told it to.”

    As the wp_title function is being deprecated and may not be used anymore as a default for quite some time, I do not believe the title rewrite should be in order.

    Also, if this problem is only present on the Home Page of your website, please refer to the home page settings where you can disable additions.

    I hope this clears things up!

    Hi Sybre,

    you rock! I only had “title” activated under “Supports” in my custom post type. As soon as I activated “editor” the SEO Settings Box appeared. So now I can edit the title tags for the custom post types, too.

    The answer to your question:
    title and og:title are the same, e.g.:

    <title>Item - Name - Name</title>
<meta property="og:title" content="Item - Name - Name" />

    Thank you very much!

    That’s great!

    Thanks for the info, your theme is doing it right :). So there’s no need to notify anyone.
