Titles and descriptions in dynamic parameter URL

    Hello SEO-friends,

    I generate thousands of dynamic pages with only one page using parameters, for example -> mydomain.de/page/?id=2104

    Each page need another title and description, so in the past I modified the Yoast-file class-frontend.php, to generate them automatically. This is much work, and unfortunately I have to do it after every plugin-update again.

    Is there another way to build titles and descriptions, when pages are generated dynamically from a database?

    And if not, would it be possible, to write a kind of “child-plugin” to save my modifications in case of an update?

    Thank you all in advance!

    Andreas

    The Yoast SEO plugin does have the ability to control the title and meta description settings through the use of template settings in SEO>Search Appearance. We also have additional information on using the title/meta description template variables as well as a list of which variables are available for use at the following link: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/yoast-wordpress-seo-titles-metas-template-variables/

    Hi devnihil, thank you for your reply!
    I’m not sure, if you understood me right. In the class-frontend.php I make a database query to get a value from a field of a mysql-table. By means of this value i build the title, respectively modify the variable $content (did i remember variable name right?).
    I don’t think that the template variables will help in this case. Remember, that i generate thousands of (dynamic) pages with different titles from only one page.
    I’m sure there are a lot of webmasters with the same problem, and I’m wondering, what they are doing.

    You or your developer can use the wpseo_title filter to customize this feature.
