    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting the support.

    The add_post_meta() function adds a new meta key for the given post ID and does not update the existing one. If the named key already exists, a duplicate field is created.

    To update an existing field, you can use the update_post_meta() function: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/update_post_meta/

    However, if you only want to use the data of a custom field in SEO Title, you can simply use this variable in the SEO title field: https://rankmath.com/kb/variables-in-seo-title-description/#num-39-custom-field-advanced

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you.

    I try this add_post_meta() function for adds a new post meta field. But It’s not setting. I tried this same code on old rank math it’s worked. Currently I want to use it on latest version of rank math.

    Hello,

    As explained previously by my colleague, the add_post_meta() function doesn’t modify our existing post meta for the title. You can make use of this variable instead and insert it into Rank Math’s title meta:

    %customfield(YOUR_FIELD_NAME)%

    test

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
