Change page title for one section only

    Hi,

    My page titles are currently created as follows:
    %%title%% %%sep%% %%sitename%%

    For my Remote Jobs page, this translates as follows, which works as expected:
    Remote Jobs | Atlas & Boots

    What I would like to do is change the page title for every child page belonging to the Remote Jobs page. I want child pages to use ‘Remote Jobs’ instead of the site name.

    So, for example, I want this page’s header to be:
    Technical Recruiter | Remote Jobs
    and NOT:
    Technical Recruiter | Atlas & Boots

    Basically, any time we share a remote job, we get a ton of people contacting us (Atlas & Boots) applying for the job because our site name appears in the page title. At the moment, I am manually editing the titles via Yoast to specify the advertising company’s name instead of ours. Naturally, this is really cumbersome.

    Any help would be very appreciated!

    Thank you,

    Kia

    If you change the remote job page title template variables to %%title%% %%sep%% %%parent_title%%, does this resolve the issue?

    Hi Mazedul,

    Thank you for the reply.

    The remote jobs page doesn’t have a template of its own; it’s based on the standard page template. As such, changing the variables would change it across all pages, right? I’d like to change only those that have the ‘Remote Jobs‘ page as its parent.

    I’m not an expert with php but what I need is something like:

    if (page-parent = 'Remote Jobs')
   set page-title as %%title%% %%sep%% %%parent_title%%
else
   use default

    Do you know if it’s possible/advisable to write something like this and add it to the page template?

    Thank you,

    Kia

    In this case, you’ll need to either manually write the SEO title or implement custom functionality on your site. We can’t offer support on the custom code (needed to change (core) features of our plugin). Since we don’t want to take the risk that we break your website by suggesting an incorrect or incomplete code, we cannot advise you on how to make such changes. Maybe someone watching these forums can assist you further, but if your topic is inactive for 7 days, we’ll mark it as resolved to keep the overview.

    Thank you for your understanding.
