Meta Title partially frozen

    In the dashboard>pages>edit home page:
    The displayed meta title data includes both the blog name and a description. The description displays “&#039:” instead of an apostrophe. The box for Remove the Blog Name is checked. (and as noted the blog name is displayed)
    I can’t uncheck the box. If I try to edit the text, my edits replace the blog name, not the additional text, which remains.
    The meta title is reported as too long – 73 characters. Using Screaming Frog SEO Spider to test the site, its SERP Snippet display shows the title correctly except for losing the last character.

    I am not having this problem on other pages.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Thanks for the bug report! Good catch 🙂

    I’ve escalated this issue on GitHub:
    https://github.com/sybrew/the-seo-framework/issues/385

    This issue doesn’t affect the displayed title in the browser tab or the search results; so, I’ll ship a fix with the next major release instead of a minor one.

    Cheers!

    I see that the bug you identified in github is for the unescaped character. Will this also address the frozen check box and issues of editing the meta text?

    Hi again!

    The checkbox is disabled for the homepage as it’s managed differently and elsewhere.

    When you go to the Home Page Settings meta box on the site’s SEO Settings page, you’ll find the “Title Additions” option under “Additions”. This option has the same effect but works differently in the code.

    The plugin handles the text in two prominent parts:

    1. The additions, like the blog name or tagline.
    2. The site title, or the page title, or your entered title.

    There are more parts, like the “Protected:”, “Private:”, “Category:”, etc. prefixes, and pagination. But, that’s of no importance to your inquiry.
