Using shortcodes in the title tag

  • Hi there,

    I love this plugin, however would love for the possibility to have variable data within the meta description tag and the title tag.

    I thought that a good way to do this would be with a shortcode, however the shortcodes are ignored in SEO ultimate plus’s <title> tag rewriter.

    I cannot find any other way to override SEO ultimate plus’s title tag rewriter.

    Even if I add a filter to wp_title with highest priority.

    Any help would be appreciated!
    Regards,
    Karl

    I’m almost there, I know that I need to override the following class function:

    class SU_Titles extends SU_Module {
	function change_title_tag($head) {

		$title = $this->get_title();
		if (!$title) return $head;
		// Pre-parse the title replacement text to escape the $ ($n backreferences) when followed by a number 0-99 because of preg_replace issue
		$title = preg_replace('/\$(\d)/', '\\\$$1', $title);
		//Replace the old title with the new and return
		return preg_replace('/<title>[^<]*<\/title>/i', '<title>'.$title.'</title>', $head);
	}
}

    I’m trying to extend the class in my functions.php, but it isn’t working, could anyone advise? My current code is:

    class SU_Titles_Extended extends SU_Titles {
	function change_title_tag($head) {

		$title = $this->get_title();
		if (!$title) return $head;
		// Pre-parse the title replacement text to escape the $ ($n backreferences) when followed by a number 0-99 because of preg_replace issue
		$title = preg_replace('/\$(\d)/', '\\\$$1', $title);

		//****** CHANGED HERE ******
		$title = do_shortcode($title);

		//Replace the old title with the new and return
		return preg_replace('/<title>[^<]*<\/title>/i', '<title>'.$title.'</title>', $head);
	}
}
