Title Being Over Ridden on IDX Pages

I should mention that having title fix on or off does not seem to make a difference. The home page title is being displayed on these pages. Please fix as I do not want to revert back to the yoast plugin even though these pages worked with that plugin. These pages are not showing up in search since title is wrong

These lines of php code in the IDX plugin seem to relate to the IDX virtual pages

$this->addRule(
iHomefinderVirtualPageFactory::LISTING_DETAIL,
$matchRulePrefix . $urlFactory->getListingDetailUrl(false) . “/{listingAddress}/{listingNumber}/{boardId}”

public function getListingDetailUrl($includeBaseUrl = true) {
$virtualPage = $this->virtualPageFactory->getVirtualPage(iHomefinderVirtualPageFactory::LISTING_DETAIL);
$permalink = $virtualPage->getPermalink();
$result = $this->prependBaseUrl($permalink, $includeBaseUrl);
return $result;
}

Hi @casper434,

My apologies for the late reply.

1. There’s a bug with TSF 2.9.2: When your home page is a blog, some special pages have incorrect metadata. This will be fixed in 2.9.3.
2. If you didn’t encounter that bug, it might be that the IDX plugin doesn’t correctly communicate with WordPress queries. Instead, it rather incorporates its own mechanism outside of the API. Therefore, TSF can’t fetch set titles. To prevent this bug, you also require TSF 2.9.3.

TSF 2.9.3 will be released this week, and it’s currently being tested on various websites.

For 1, in detail:
Various fixes across non-taxonomical archives, i.e. ones that you can’t edit, have noindex set by default, and have no ID assigned:

• These no longer share the same cache key as the home page.

• This fixes numerous object caching issues.

• These no longer use the home page Open Graph image.
• These no longer use the auto-generated description meant for the home page.
• These now listen to the archive option for rel=next/prev links, instead of the home page option.

For 2, in detail:
You can use an upcoming filter that disables The SEO Framework’s title output in specific scenarios.

It looks like this, and I suggest you’d try it when 2.9.3 comes out:

add_action( 'the_seo_framework_init', function() {

	if ( 'my-post-type' === get_post_type() ) {
		add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_overwrite_titles', '__return_false' );
	}
} );

A free extension is planned that will make your life easier, rather than jumping to filters.
Another free extension is planned that might also help with your specific scenario.
That said, for both extensions, there’s no ETA.

After the update the title inserted by the IDX Plugin now comes up untitled. I have had to manually insert a title tag. Not sure why the titles on IDX pages is now being overridden and replaced with untitled?

Hi @casper434,

Where can I find the IDX WordPress plugin, so I can test the compatibility?

Cheers! ??

@casper434 thanks!

I’ve escalated this into a GitHub issue, so we can easily keep track of changes:

Feel free to contribute there, if need be.
