Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
The custom homepage layouts are not supported but you can workaround this by adding the following code to your theme’s functions.php file:
/**
* Only load if Rank Math plugin is activated
*/
if ( defined('RANK_MATH_FILE' ) && 'layout' === get_option('show_on_front') ) {
/**
* Adjusting homepage’s title tag
* @return string
*/
function extra_rank_math_homepage_title_adjustment( $title ) {
if ( is_home() ) {
$title = RankMath\Helper::replace_vars( RankMath\Helper::get_settings('titles.homepage_title') );
}
return $title;
}
add_filter('rank_math/frontend/title', 'extra_rank_math_homepage_title_adjustment', 16 );
/**
* Adjusting homepage’s meta description
* @return string
*/
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/description', function( $description ) {
if ( is_home() ) {
$description = RankMath\Helper::replace_vars( RankMath\Helper::get_settings( 'titles.homepage_description' ) );
}
return $description;
});
/**
* Adjusting homepage’s robots
* @return string
*/
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/robots', function( $robots ) {
if ( is_home() ) {
$robots = RankMath\Helper::get_settings( 'titles.homepage_robots' );
if ( ! is_array( $robots ) || ! in_array( 'noindex', $robots ) ) {
$robots['index'] = 'index';
}
if ( ! is_array( $robots ) || ! in_array('nofollow', $robots ) ) {
$robots['follow'] = 'follow';
}
}
return $robots;
});
}
I hope this info helps. Thank you.
