Yoast title field

[thewebco76Participant]

I have a client using the paid version, and I was wondering – We’re using yoast field as title.

however, that of course includes yoast snippet variables for example – %%sitename%%

Anyway to exclude things like that?

See here for more :

https://yoast.com/help/list-available-snippet-variables-yoast-seo/

Ideally – ( and I’m not sure when yoast fires ) – these fields could be rendered by delay so that they actually show the generated yoast field ( that may be too late to fire – I’m not familiar with yoast enough but figure you may be)

Thanks

Adding screenshot so you can see

No ftp / admin access needed at this point but can get it if the question can’t be answered simply.

Hi,

The plugin requests the result titles from WordPress (via get_the_title) – and those should be rendered already, meaning all the hooks, filters, modifiacations and anything else should be done on them by the time of the request.
We are also using Yoast on one of our test servers, but the titles are rendered just fine, so I am not sure what exactly is going on here.

Can you please check if the custom ajax handler option is disabled. When enabled, I can imagine there is a delay on the yoast plugin loading.

We are not using the title; rather customer field for the title. ( they use page titles internally on private site )

So I assigned _yoast_wpseo_title as primary title field.

But I am now seeing in your documentation that it looks like you only support this field if they are typed in. ( not auto generated)

Is there a workaround for this – where I can use the yoast seo field and have the results fire after they is rendered?

Well, I am not sure then, but maybe via a custom code.

Try adding this code to the functions.php file in your theme/child theme directory – make sure to have a full server back-up first for safety. For more details you can check the safe coding guidelines.

add_filter( 'asp_results', 'asp_force_yoast_title', 10, 1 );
function asp_force_yoast_title( $results ) {
	foreach ($results as $k => &$r ) {
		$r->title = apply_filters('the_title', $r->id);
	}
	return $results;
}

If all goes well, this should force the title hook again on the final search results, resolving the yoast syntax.

This only replaced the title with the ID (you have $r->id in the filter)

But this pointed me to something useful – so thanks! Shared in case you ever need it for anyone else :

add_filter( 'asp_results', 'asp_force_yoast_title', 10, 1 );
function asp_force_yoast_title( $results ) {
	foreach ($results as $k => &$r ) {
		
		$r->title = apply_filters('the_title', $r->title);
		$newtitle = 'My Site Name Replacement';
		$realtitle = get_the_title($r->id);
		$r->title = str_replace( array("%%sitename%%","%%sep%%","%%title%%","%%page%%"), array($newtitle, " | ", $realtitle,""), "$r->title" );
		
	}
	
	return $results;
}
