Hi,
I cannot check this atm, sorry, but It’s possible that some update to the Yoast plugin has broke this.
I will check this asap.
So I checked.
When I added this there was a WordPress SEO’s inconsistency, it counted the pages adding +1 (page 2 was page 3 for WP SEO, I also reported it to the release team), so I added +1 to every counting pages (as you can read on sgr-nextpage-titles.php comments). Now looks like they fixed this, so I’m releasing a temporary fixed version of Multipage Plugin, waiting for the major release.

@sergio – Thank you for looking into this. I’ve updated my plugin to the latest version (1.2.4) but the titles are still showing as “POSTNAME – PAGE 1 OF 3 – SITETITLE” rather than “POSTNAME – SECTIONTITLE – SITETITLE”
Is there a way to get the section title to appear in the title tag instead of the page numbers?
Thanks for your help!
Uhm, it should work now… tested on a few installations. Which language are you using?

WP 4.2.1 in default American English, WordPress SEO 2.1.1 and Multipage Plugin 1.2.4.
My SEO title structure is:
%%title%% %%page%% %%sep%% %%sitename%%
What setup are you testing it on, and what is your SEO title structure?
Thanks for your help.
It should work, I also tried with default WordPress Language… at this point I’d need to debug it

@sergio – Thanks for your continued help.
Am I using the correct SEO title structure? Am I right in thinking the %%page%% section of the title is re-purposed the section title hook?
I wonder if a dedicated command could be used instead, such as %%multipage%% ? Having not delved into the world of Yoast’s SEO code I don’t know how feasible this would be.
If you see Page 1 of 3 it should work. Unfortunately WP SEO is not that flexible. Anyway as you can see e.g. here: http://www.gonk.it/guide/installare-server-web/2/ it works pretty good, I really don’t know how it doesn’t for your installation.

@sergio – Thanks for the link. I am very jealous it works for you!
On digging around a bit further it seems the WordPress SEO option in SEO > Titles & Metas entitled “Enable force rewrite titles” messes up the titles for me. If I disable this my titles mess up and look awful, but as a glimmer of hope the titles display as:
POSTNAME – SECTIONTITLE Of 3 – SITETITLE SITETITLE
Enabling the option cleans the title up but removes the section title, taking it back to:
POSTNAME – PAGE 1 OF 3 – SITETITLE
If you “Enable force rewrite titles” does the same happen on your installation?

@sergio – I’ve cracked it!
In sgr-nextpage-titles.php on line 133 it reads:
add_filter( 'wp_title',array( &$this, 'enhance_title' ), 30 );
When the force option is on WordPress SEO favours “wpseo_title” using different priority settings (100 instead of 30). Changing line 133 to read as follows fixes the problem:
add_filter( 'wp_title',array( &$this, 'enhance_title' ), 30 );
add_filter( 'wpseo_title',array( &$this, 'enhance_title' ), 100 );
Thank you very much for your help with all of this.

Good 🙂 Infact I can see that forcing rewrite titles in WP SEO overrides Multipage title. Anyway the WP SEO option was there just to override any other plugin, so I will valuate if check for that option and according to it increase the priority, or leave all as it is, also because the default settings is to not forcing rewrite titles.
So, decided: I will add an option to force rewrite titles too. Enabling this the priority will be 150.
