Enable force rewrite titles *Missing*

  • With our custom wordpress theme and yoast v.3.0.6 active the “Enable force rewrite titles” check-box appears in the Yoast Titles & Metas setting. As soon as we update to wordpress v. 4.4 the check box disappears.

    I have posted as a bug on github if anyone else seems to have this issue.

  • Same issue here using WP 4.4 and Yoast SEO 3.0.6. The <title> tag is also being duplicated on the site. The markup I have for it is <title><?php wp_title(”); ?></title>.

    Yes, same here. I use WooRank and last week I checked “Force ReWrite” to stop duplicate title tags from being created in the HTML Header. That worked fine and the problem was fixed.

    Then WordPress was upgraded to 4.4 and now I’m getting duplicate title tags again, and the Force Rewrite Titles checkbox is gone.

    The site where the duplicate <title> tags are appearing uses the Divi theme version 2.5.9 and WP 4.4. The “Force Rewrite” checkbox is missing.

    Another production news site uses WPZOOM’s Doomino theme and has WP 4.4 installed. Although this site doesn’t have a duplicate <title> tag, the “Force Rewrite” checkbox is also missing.

    I just fixed the duplicate title tag problem for a client this past weekend and it’s still fine. WP has not been upgraded yet and Force Rewrite Titles is still visible.

    My theme had add_theme_support(“title-tag”) in the functions file. I commented it out and all is working as it should now.

    If you update to a theme that supports the new core title-tag, but you work from a child theme with a modified header file which is prior to that update, you need to make sure and you update that file too (or remove the part of the code which calls for the title).
