Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with changing the meta title and description for your event pages using the Event Calendar plugin.
To set the meta title and description for custom post types like events, you can follow these general steps:
-
Check Rank Math Settings: Ensure that Rank Math is enabled for the custom post types (events, categories, venues, organizers) in the Rank Math settings. You can do this by navigating to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta and checking if these post types are listed and enabled.
-
Edit Individual Events: For individual events, you should be able to edit the meta title and description directly in the event edit screen using Rank Math’s meta box. Look for the Edit Snippet button in the Rank Math section when editing an event.
-
Bulk Editing Options: If you want to set global titles and descriptions for all events or categories, you can do this under Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta → Posts. Here, you can define a global meta title and description that will apply to all events.
-
Custom Meta Descriptions: If you want to set custom meta descriptions for categories, venues, or organizers, make sure to check if those are supported by the Event Calendar plugin and if they have their own settings in Rank Math.
If you have followed these steps and it is still not working, it may be a compatibility issue with the Event Calendar plugin. In that case, we recommend replying to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.
Thank you for raising this concern! We’re here to help you resolve it.

Hello,
Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.
It seems like the Venue CPT is not set to public, and that’s why our plugin is not able to detect it. Please add the following filter to your site to add it to the Titles & Meta settings and use the SEO Controls:
add_filter( 'rank_math/excluded_post_types',function( $post_types) {
$post_types['tribe_venue'] = 'tribe_venue';
return $post_types;
}, 11 );
Here is how to add a filter to your site: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
To fix Rank Math SEO not working for event categories, venues, and organizers:
1. Go to Rank Math > Titles & Meta.
2. Check if custom post types related to your event plugin are listed** under ‘Post Types’ or ‘Taxonomies’. If not, enable them.
3. Create or adjust meta title and description templates for these custom post types.
4. Deactivate other plugins to check for conflicts, then reactivate them one by one.
5. Update Rank Math and the Event Calendar plugin to their latest versions.
6. Consult Rank Math’s support** if needed.
This should help you apply Rank Math SEO to your event-related pages.

Hello,
I’m using Rank Math SEO to update the meta title and description on my events pages (via the Event Calendar plugin), but it’s not applying to event categories, venue, and organizer pages. Has anyone experienced this or know how to fix it? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you!
Hello @michaelvauclare,
It appears you might be confusing the page title with the SEO title.
The SEO title you set in the Rank Math meta box is meant for search engines and crawlers, and can only be seen on the live page when you check the head element in the source code.
You can also use this tool to check: https://rankmath.com/tools/meta-tag-analyzer/
The page title is controlled by your theme.
Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Hello @hayes-7549,

If that doesn’t help you can open a new ticket where we can provide more personalized support.
Let us know how this goes. We look forward to helping you.
Thanks.
I have the exact same issue Michael is describing, I watched his Loom video.
What I’m seeing on my side:
– Page titles entered with RankMath SEO Controls seem to work on any category and taxonomy of The Events Calendar Pro, EXCEPT event category pages, venue pages, and organizer pages.
– On event category pages, venues pages, and organizer pages, the title entered does appear in the source code of the page, right under the <!– Search Engine Optimization by Rank Math – https://rankmath.com/ –> part. So that seems to be correct. However, it’s not actually displaying.
– I think at least for event categories, the page title seems to be dynamically generated by The Events Calendar and RankMath fails to override it.
Hopefully this extra context helps, I would very much like to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Bart
