How do I add meta title and description to page template?

Hi,

these hooks are the correct ones but you will have to add a conditional tag.

To target only a specific page template, use this one:

Make sure to always return $html variable with these hooks.

Thank you Benjamin.

Here’s what I got, but it doesn’t seem to be working.

<?php
function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {

    $parent_style = 'Divi-style';

    wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',
        get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
        array( $parent_style ),
        wp_get_theme()->get('Version')
    );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );

// ADD DEFAULT SEOPRESS SETTINGS FOR LANDING PAGES
    function sp_titles_title($html) { 
	if( is_page_template( 'landing_page.php' ) ){
	$html = '%%post_title%%';
	return $html;
}
add_filter('seopress_titles_title', 'sp_titles_title');
}

?>

Any ideas? Please keep in mind I’m not an expert in PHP so keep it simple ??

function sp_titles_title($html) { 
    if( is_page_template( 'landing_page.php' ) ){
        $html = '%%post_title%%';
    }
    return $html;
}
add_filter('seopress_titles_title', 'sp_titles_title');

Make sure the landing_page.php path is correct.

If it’s located in subfolder of your theme like “page-templates” you have to add it like this:
‘page-templates/landing_page.php’

Thank you again Benjamin.
I added the code and it… almost works.
Here’s what happens to the page’s title:

Essentially, %%post_title%% is displayed as is, instead of taking the post’s title. Another screenshot here, from within the post itself, if that will help you pinpoint the issue:

What I am trying to do is to have the actual page/post title show up instead of the text “%%post_title%%”.

For example, if the page title is “Holidays in Paris” then in the page’s code it should show <title>Holidays in Paris</title> instead of <title>%%post_title%%</title>

Thanks again, it all works now
