%%title%% displayed instead of a normal title on one page

Have you updated to version 1.5.3.2 in the past 24 hours or so? It should fix that. It was a bug introduced in a recent version that also applied to the other tokens.

Yes, it is up to date…

I have the same problem on Classipress theme.

example:
www(dot)market.cheap-phones.com/ad-category/cell-phones/

All: wordpress, theme and plugin are up to date.

I have the same issue, only that it’s on the archive and single pages of a custom post type created by a custom catalogue plugin.

Yoast SEO has always ignored this plugin and it’s post type, the problem I have now is that %%title%% is showing up and I have no control over it as it the post type doesn’t register in the Yoast SEO admin.

I’ve been using Yoast for the past two and a half years and this problem has only been there since updating to 1.5.3 and updating to 1.5.3.2 doesn’t seem to solve the problem, the only thing that does is deactivating Yoast and I don’t really want to do that.

It sounds like the same issue as everyone else is having, and by the sound of it not just with custom set ups. It’s likely that more people are having the same problem but haven’t noticed yet, I didn’t notice for a few days.

I might try going back to 1.5.2.8

I have just dropped back down to 1.5.1 from the repository (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wordpress-seo/developers/) and this seems to have solved the issues once I re saved the Titles & Metas.

I have changed %%category%% to %%term_title%% and that solved the problem.

Having the same issue with %%title%% showing using the very latest version – I have tried selecting Force title rewrite on and off but still having issue.

Title is coded like this: <title><?php wp_title(”); ?></title>

Never had issue before!

All: The whole replace functionality has been rewritten/refactored now. If you are willing and able, if would be great if you could test this. The changes are available in the [master branch](https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/archive/master.zip) of the github repo.

Thanks!

That fixes my problem (see above). Can I use this on a live site now?

Glad to hear it. You can use it on a live site, though I expect the official release will be sometime within the next two weeks.

I clicked on the dismiss message on the compatibility issue in yoast telling that it has a compatibility issue on the title and meta, and it is telling me to install and download a certain version. how can I view the compatibility issue message again?
