Using ACF fields on archive pages of custom taxonomy of custom post type

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.

It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

We really look forward to helping you.

Hello,

To perform this kind of changes we would need admin access to the dashboard to be able to edit the taxonomy and check that we implementing the code correctly.

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Hello,

There has been some syntax issue in the code so I went ahead and fixed it.

Another issue is that you are using %customfield(seo_title)% variable and you are creating another custom one so %seo_title% should work without %customfield(...)%.

However, the %seo_title% is an in-built variable in our plugin so I created a different name which is now:

%as_seo_title% for the SEO title field.

%as_seo_description% for the SEO description field.

Here’s the complete code:

add_action( 'rank_math/vars/register_extra_replacements', function(){
	rank_math_register_var_replacement(
		'as_seo_title',
	[
		'name' => esc_html__( 'SEO title', 'rank-math' ),
		'description' => esc_html__( 'This is SEO title from ACF', 'rank-math' ),
		'variable' => 'as_seo_title',
		'example' => as_seo_title_callback(),
	],
		'as_seo_title_callback'
	);
});
function as_seo_title_callback(){
	$seo_title = get_field('seo_title', 'term_'.get_queried_object()->term_id);
	return $seo_title;
}

add_action( 'rank_math/vars/register_extra_replacements', function(){
	rank_math_register_var_replacement(
		'as_seo_description',
	[
		'name' => esc_html__( 'SEO title', 'rank-math' ),
		'description' => esc_html__( 'This is SEO title from ACF', 'rank-math' ),
		'variable' => 'as_seo_description',
		'example' => as_seo_description_callback(),
	],
		'as_seo_description_callback'
	);
});
function as_seo_description_callback(){
	$seo_desc = get_field('seo_description', 'term_'.get_queried_object()->term_id);
	return $seo_desc;
}

Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.

Hello,

I tested this on my end and it seems to be working just fine and the filter code I added to generate a custom variable can be also reused for Sesje taxonomy.

Please ensure that you also have added the custom variables in the global title and description under Rank Math > Titles & Meta.

If the issue persists, let us know and we will do our best to help you resolve it.

Thank you.
