[Plugin: WordPress SEO by Yoast] Tag/Category Broken in Page Titles

Version 1.2.8.6, is not displaying the name of the author on the title page. Appears “%% name%%” instead of the name.

Same problem :/

Same problem 😕 🙁

I guess open wpseo-functions.php in inc folder and find: (line 158)

'%%pagenumber%%' => $pagenum,

Add below:

'%%category%%' => wpseo_get_terms( $r->ID, 'category' ),

Julian,

Maybe you should find : (About these lines 153 to 186)

$replacements = array(
‘%%date%%’ => $date,
‘%%searchphrase%%’ => esc_html( get_query_var( ‘s’ ) ),
‘%%page%%’ => ( $max_num_pages > 1 && $pagenum > 1 ) ? sprintf( $sep . ‘ ‘ . __( ‘Page %d of %d’, ‘wordpress-seo’ ), $pagenum, $max_num_pages ) : ”,
‘%%pagetotal%%’ => $max_num_pages,
‘%%pagenumber%%’ => $pagenum,
‘%%category%%’ => wpseo_get_terms( $r->ID, ‘category’ ),
);

if ( isset( $r->post_type ) ) {
$replacements = array_merge( $replacements, array(
‘%%caption%%’ => $r->post_excerpt,

‘%%category%%’ => wpseo_get_terms( $r->ID, ‘category’ ),
‘%%excerpt%%’ => ( !empty( $r->post_excerpt ) ) ? strip_tags( $r->post_excerpt ) : utf8_encode( substr( strip_shortcodes( strip_tags( utf8_decode( $r->post_content ) ) ), 0, 155 ) ),
‘%%excerpt_only%%’ => strip_tags( $r->post_excerpt ),
‘%%focuskw%%’ => wpseo_get_value( ‘focuskw’, $r->ID ),
‘%%id%%’ => $r->ID,
‘%%modified%%’ => mysql2date( get_option( ‘date_format’ ), $r->post_modified ),
‘%%name%%’ => get_the_author_meta( ‘display_name’, !empty( $r->post_author ) ? $r->post_author : get_query_var( ‘author’ ) ),
‘%%tag%%’ => wpseo_get_terms( $r->ID, ‘post_tag’ ),
‘%%title%%’ => stripslashes( $r->post_title ),
‘%%userid%%’ => !empty( $r->post_author ) ? $r->post_author : get_query_var( ‘author’ ),
) );
}

if ( !empty( $r->taxonomy ) ) {
$replacements = array_merge( $replacements, array(
‘%%category_description%%’ => trim( strip_tags( get_term_field( ‘description’, $r->term_id, $r->taxonomy ) ) ),
‘%%tag_description%%’ => trim( strip_tags( get_term_field( ‘description’, $r->term_id, $r->taxonomy ) ) ),
‘%%term_description%%’ => trim( strip_tags( get_term_field( ‘description’, $r->term_id, $r->taxonomy ) ) ),
‘%%term_title%%’ => $r->name,
) );
}

And replace with this:

$replacements = array(
‘%%date%%’ => $date,
‘%%title%%’ => stripslashes( $r->post_title ),
‘%%excerpt%%’ => ( !empty( $r->post_excerpt ) ) ? strip_tags( $r->post_excerpt ) : substr( strip_shortcodes( strip_tags( $r->post_content ) ), 0, 155 ),
‘%%excerpt_only%%’ => strip_tags( $r->post_excerpt ),
‘%%category%%’ => wpseo_get_terms( $r->ID, ‘category’ ),
‘%%category_description%%’ => !empty( $r->taxonomy ) ? trim( strip_tags( get_term_field( ‘description’, $r->term_id, $r->taxonomy ) ) ) : ”,
‘%%tag_description%%’ => !empty( $r->taxonomy ) ? trim( strip_tags( get_term_field( ‘description’, $r->term_id, $r->taxonomy ) ) ) : ”,
‘%%term_description%%’ => !empty( $r->taxonomy ) ? trim( strip_tags( get_term_field( ‘description’, $r->term_id, $r->taxonomy ) ) ) : ”,
‘%%term_title%%’ => $r->name,
‘%%focuskw%%’ => wpseo_get_value( ‘focuskw’, $r->ID ),
‘%%tag%%’ => wpseo_get_terms( $r->ID, ‘post_tag’ ),
‘%%modified%%’ => mysql2date( get_option( ‘date_format’ ), $r->post_modified ),
‘%%id%%’ => $r->ID,
‘%%name%%’ => get_the_author_meta( ‘display_name’, !empty( $r->post_author ) ? $r->post_author : get_query_var( ‘author’ ) ),
‘%%userid%%’ => !empty( $r->post_author ) ? $r->post_author : get_query_var( ‘author’ ),
‘%%searchphrase%%’ => esc_html( get_query_var( ‘s’ ) ),
‘%%page%%’ => ( $max_num_pages > 1 && $pagenum > 1 ) ? sprintf( $sep . ‘ ‘ . __( ‘Page %d of %d’, ‘wordpress-seo’ ), $pagenum, $max_num_pages ) : ”,
‘%%pagetotal%%’ => $max_num_pages,
‘%%pagenumber%%’ => $pagenum,
‘%%caption%%’ => $r->post_excerpt,
);

It should be fix it?
