Register a custom template variable

Hello,

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

Please try the following code and let me know how this goes:

add_action( 'rank_math/vars/register_extra_replacements', function() {
   RankMath\Helper::register_var_replacement( 'listingCat', 'wilcityAddPrimaryCategoryToListingCallback', $args = array(
	        'name'    => esc_html__( 'Listing Category', 'rank-math' ),
			'desc'    => esc_html__( 'Category of the current listing', 'rank-math' ),
			'example' => esc_html__( 'Example Category', 'rank-math' )));
} );

function wilcityAddPrimaryCategoryToListingCallback(){
   $aDirectoryTypes = \WilokeListingTools\Framework\Helpers\GetSettings::getAllDirectoryTypes(true);
   if ( !is_singular($aDirectoryTypes) ){
      return '';
   }
   global $post;

   $termID = \WilokeListingTools\Framework\Helpers\GetSettings::getPrimaryTermIDOfPost($post->ID, 'listing_cat');
   if ( !empty($termID) ){
      $oTerm = get_term($termID, 'listing_cat'); 
      if ( !empty($oTerm) && !is_wp_error($oTerm) ){
         return $oTerm->name;
      }
   }

   return '';
}

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Hi there,

Thanks for the follow up.

This suggests that you custom callback is not firing and this is why it is falling back to the example.

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

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:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

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.

HI there,

Thanks for the follow up.

I have modified your code to the below to work for the backend too:

add_action( 'rank_math/vars/register_extra_replacements', function() {
   RankMath\Helper::register_var_replacement( 'listingCat',array('RMPrimaryCategoryToListingCallback'),$args = array(
	        'name'    => esc_html__( 'Listing Category', 'rank-math' ),
			'desc'    => esc_html__( 'Category of the current listing', 'rank-math' ),
			'example' => esc_html__(RMPrimaryCategoryToListingCallback())));
	
	
} );

function RMPrimaryCategoryToListingCallback(){
	
	$post_id = $_GET['post'];
	$termID = \WilokeListingTools\Framework\Helpers\GetSettings::getPrimaryTermIDOfPost($post_id, 'listing_cat');
	if ( !empty($termID) ){
      $oTerm = get_term($termID, 'listing_cat'); 
      if ( !empty($oTerm) && !is_wp_error($oTerm) ){
         return $oTerm->name;
      }
   }

}

I hope this helps. Thank you.
