Woocommerce Category Title

Hello!

The title should be reflected directly in your browser tab after you update it. It can take some time for search engines to pick up on these.

Each term (e.g., WooCommerce’s product category) should have these fields available, where you can supply a custom SEO meta title, as shown in the image below.

Please be mindful of respecting the pixel counters. Search engines will trim or even blatantly ignore your input when you’re in the red zone.

Now, I am unaware of any conflicts or other issues with that input. If you can provide examples of the problems, might they arrive, let me know! Cheers 🙂

Hello again 🙂

It is curious, indeed!

What you’re facing is a recurring issue with TSF and some (yet unknown) WooCommerce addon. What happens is that TSF can’t resolve the current request as expected, and shuts itself off.

Here are two related topics to this issue (where the second has more details on the cause):
1. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/4-0-5-no-seo-output-on-post-category-pages/
2. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seo-framework-no-always-loading-on-taxonomy-term-archives/

The workaround is quite simple. Add this filter to your site, such as in the child-theme:

add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_query_supports_seo', '__return_true' );

Now, I’d rather have this issue fixed permanently than dealing with this odd issue every week. Could you help me out with that? All I need is a list of your active plugins, and I can start deducting the cause 🙂 Feel free to send it over to me confidentially, via our contact page. Thank you!

Hi again!

Then I’m glad the query protection is working as intended 🙂 otherwise, all those pages with presumably affected/broken queries would have this title issue on all sites.

I believe there has recently been a plugin update from one of the plugins that’s messing with the query. You can find the causing plugin by deactivating plugins one by one until the issue is gone. If you’re able to find the plugin, then we’re much closer to a solution!

I do want to thank you for your email–it gave me some insights so I can compare it later to other installations facing the same issue. In the meantime, unfortunately, I do not have access to many of the plugins listed. So anything you can do to find the cause would be tremendously helpful! Thank you 🙂

Hello!

Your comment made me rethink the issue, and I’m glad you went out of your way to help find the cause.

I just went over the issue with Bryan (from this topic) and tested a change in the code that might affect the behavior. It worked, we found the culprit 🙂

I just committed the fix at GitHub, and it’ll arrive with the v4.0.6 update of The SEO Framework.

Unfortunately, I do not have an ETA for its release yet. This is because the world doesn’t know what’s up from down, and our schedules have been affected. Nevertheless, I wish to thank you for your input and patience.

Until then, I recommend removing the code snippet I suggested earlier, and I hope you’re staying in good health. Cheers!
