Dear Support Team
I hope you are doing well.
Currently, on my website the category pages are automatically using the category name as the page title. For example, if the category is Mobile Accessories, the title appears as Category: Mobile Accessories.
The challenge is that I don’t always want the category name to be used as the title. For SEO and user experience, I would like to set a custom title for each category page, independent of the actual category name.
Could you please guide me on:
How I can manually define a different title for each category page?
Whether this can be handled directly in the theme settings or if I should use Rank Math SEO (or another method) to override the default titles.
If code editing is required, where exactly I should make these changes.
This flexibility will help me optimize the titles better for search engines and make them more engaging for users.
Thank you for your guidance and support.
Best regards,

Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the category page titles on your website. Thank you for raising this concern.
To manually define a different title for each category page using Rank Math, you can follow these steps:
-
Navigate to Rank Math Settings: Go to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta → Categories.
-
Edit Category Titles: Here, you will find options to customize the titles for your category pages. You can create a static title or use dynamic variables to set up a template for your category titles.
-
Set Custom Titles: For each category, you can enter a custom title in the respective field. This allows you to override the default title that uses the category name.
-
Save Changes: After making your changes, ensure you save them to apply the new titles.
This method does not require any code editing and can be handled directly through the Rank Math settings.
