    Hello, I am writing you regarding a issue I have on my website in using your fantastic plugin. But on checking on google, I found that plugin fault on my website in this way:

    Title used come from the one I set in WordPress default in setting > general > Site Title and the meta description is totally missing

    I can confirm you that on my home page on the seo framework panel, I fill my title and my description and all the infos

    Probably my theme is old and don’t use on the header the necessary code to implement your plugin

    I copy below

    <div id="branding" class="animated">
                <!-- Logo -->
				<?php 
                // Get the logo
                if ( $ti_option['site_logo'] != '' ) { 
                    $site_logo = $ti_option['site_logo'];
                } else { 
                    $site_logo = get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/logo.png';
                }
                ?>
                <a class="logo" href="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>">
                    <img src="<?php echo $site_logo; ?>" alt="<?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?> - <?php bloginfo( 'description' ); ?>" title="<?php bloginfo( 'name' ); ?> - <?php bloginfo( 'description' ); ?>" />
                </a>
                <!-- End Logo -->
                
                <?php 
                // Show or Hide site tagline under the logo based on Theme Options
                if( $ti_option['site_tagline'] == 1 ) {
                ?>
                <span class="tagline">
                    <?php bloginfo( 'description' ); ?>
                </span>
                <?php } ?>
            </div>

    Do you have a fix for my issue?
    thanks a lot for your help!

    I just want to add this note
    on the seo framework panel into the page/post there are the counters to help if a title or desc is too much long. In this case the tool sign always
    title as 59 (chars) even if you write a title of 300 chars and the same on
    desc (122) even if you write 300 chars.

    hope this helps

    Hello!

    The SEO Framework doesn’t adjust the site’s content — only the “metadata” for search engines and other platforms to consume. This is outputted in <head> via wp_head() (located in header.php). This functionality was added back in WordPress 1.2.0, so I expect every theme to include it.

    If you look at the page’s source, you should see it near the top. Do you have a link for me to inspect if you cannot find it?

    The counters for the homepage will become “stuck” if the information you add doesn’t have any effect. This is because the homepage has metadata set in the SEO Settings; they’re also best managed there for the homepage.

    In the next update, I’ll try to make this a little more clear:
    The SEO Framework v4.3 Homepage SEO Meta Box

    The counters also ignore spaces at the start and end of the input, and they ignore repeated spaces.

    Hello, thanks a lot for your reply.
    Yep, the code you mentioned is on my header

    A couple of rows before what I sent you: <?php wp_head();?></head>
    So, if this part of code is already on my header but unfortunately on the home page the meta description is not printed (works fine in all the other pages). I try this morning a couple of seo plugins to check and I haven’t found the same issue. They write regularly the meta description for my home page too.

    At this time I have no idea on how to fix this issues, do you have some tips on where I can try? Thanks a lot for your efforts.

    Hello!

    Thank you for detailing this and verifying other SEO plugins work as expected.

    So, only the homepage has an issue. Then, it would be best to manage the title, the title additions, and the description from the SEO Settings page.

    Go to “SEO > Homepage Settings > General” in the admin dashboard and fill in a title and description manually. Clear the cache (if any), and see if they appear as-is on the homepage.

    Under the “Additions” tab there, you can further perfect your title.

    Please link me to the site’s homepage if they still aren’t visible. This way, I can inspect if any conflicting plugins influence the output. Many plugins and themes path their quirks specifically for other plugins (which is a bad practice), but not always for TSF.
