    Im using %customterm(pa_esittaja)% %title% %sep% %customfield(formaatti)% in Rank Math to display my single product titles. Everything looks ok in the front end and even schema.org finds all the values but in the product admin page the Rank Math displays “Custom term value SP2ALBUM – LP” in the snippet preview and says Focus Keyword does not appear in the SEO title.

    Any advice would be helpful

    So just to clarify the Customterm pa_esittaja is not shown correctly (others are). Ive created the custom term pa_esittaja with ACF plugin.

    Hello @sami-sanpakkila,

    Thank you for contacting the support.

    That’s the default behavior of the %customterm% variable. It will add the correct value to the page in the front end and display the Custom Term Value in the backend.

    If you are using the custom term in the focus keyword, then you can ignore the failed test in our content analysis as the correct value is being applied in the front end and search engines will be able to see that.

    Hope that helps. Let us know if you need any other assistance.

    OK, glad to hear it is expected behaviour. It would be handy to show in the snippet filed as well. Is this something that you can change in an upcoming version so that it would show the actual value of the term in the snippet field as well as in the front end?

    Thanks!

    Would it be possible to use custom code in the functions.php to show the actual value in the snippet as well?

    Hello @sami-sanpakkila,

    The preview is done in React JS and we cannot add a filter on the website to make sure that the preview outputs the accurate values for this.

    Unfortunately, the variable runs after the previewer code so it’s not possible to overcome this at the moment.

    If we can improve this in the future, we’ll update you on the same.

    Thank you.
