How to Disable or Modify Meta Properties of Content Pulled from Database

    I am using the WP Job Manager Companies plugin, which generates a directory of companies that have job openings posted on the site (see example).

    On each individual company page, Yoast SEO is giving this message…

    <!-- Admin only notice: this page does not show a meta description because it does not have one, either write it for this page specifically or go into the [SEO - Search Appearance] menu and set up a template. -->

    …in the source and is inserting the meta properties for the site’s blog, instead of the actual title on each individual company page.

    WP Job Manager Companies is not using a custom post type to generate these pages, so it is not listed under SEO – Search Appearance and the company pages being generated are not editable (I think it might be creating these pages by pulling from a WordPress database table? See here).

    What can I do to have Yoast SEO pull the correct title or disable Yoast SEO from inserting meta properties from my blog page on these individual company pages?

    In case it is helpful, here’s what the plugin is doing to generate a title (which is correct, but not being used by Yoast for its meta property og:title). Could this be easily edited so Yoast recognizes / uses it?

    	/**
	 * Set a page title when viewing an individual company.
	 *
	 * @since WP Job Manager - Company Profiles 1.2
	 *
	 * @param string $title Default title text for current view.
	 * @param string $sep Optional separator.
	 * @return string Filtered title.
	 */
	function page_title($title) {
		global $paged, $page;
		$sep = apply_filters( 'document_title_separator', '-' );
		if ( ! get_query_var( $this->slug ) )
			return $title;

		$company = urldecode( get_query_var( $this->slug ) );

		$title = get_bloginfo( 'name' );

		$site_description = get_bloginfo( 'description', 'display' );

		if ( $site_description && ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) )
			$title = "$title $sep $site_description";

		$title = sprintf( __( 'Jobs at %s', 'wp-job-manager-companies' ), $company ) . " $sep $title";

		return $title;
	}

    By default, Yoast SEO Search Appearance settings page shows all the public post types. If you’re not seeing the relevant post types, it’s probably either not public or it has a special mechanism that Yoast SEO can’t detect. In this case, you may need to use custom implementation using relevant filter. You can find more information about custom implementation on https://developer.yoast.com/.

    We’re afraid to say that we are unable to confirm how exactly the custom implementation can be made.
