    I found a way to make the simple press forum page titles unique in combo with your plugin still working good on non-forum pages. I need to do that with the description now too, but I can’t figure out how to tap into the description your plugin produces so I can add the conditional and add the new page title at the end of the descriptions so they’re unique also.

    This is what I did for the titles:

    to the theme’s functions.php

    function forumtitle() {
	$urlparts = explode("/",$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);
	$title=ucwords(str_replace("-"," ",$urlparts[count($urlparts)-2]));
	if ($title == 'Forum') { $title = 'The main landing page forum title'; }
	return $title;
}

    In the header.php (id of course being the forum’s main page id #)

    <title><?php if(get_the_id() == 392) { echo forumtitle(); } else { wp_title(); } ?></title>

    Could you help with ideas on this?
    Thanks, Heather

    For anyone else this may help. Yoast wordpress seo responded on the correct filters to work with:

    For the title you can use the wpseo_title filter and for meta description there’s a filter named: wpseo_metadesc.

    Here’s what I used for the description:

    function forumdescript($descript) {
	global $post;
	if ($post->ID == '392') {
		$urlparts = explode("/",$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);
		$title=ucwords(str_replace("-"," ",$urlparts[count($urlparts)-2]));
		if ($title == 'Forum') { $title = 'Your forum title'; }		$descript = $title.' -'.$descript;

		return $descript;
	}
}
add_filter( 'wpseo_metadesc', 'forumdescript');
