Retrieve title after AJAX call

Hello,

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

Please note that when requesting an AJAX operation, you need to call the path /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php as your ajaxurl.

Please refer to this example setup to perform an AJAX operation in WordPress:

PHP:

HTML/JS:
https://pastebin.com/0f7J6SGg

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

Hello,

Please share some screenshots of the code you have created so we can analyze advice accordingly. Possibly, please share the code you made from the JS side and the PHP side.

Looking forward to helping you on this one.

Hello,

The Paper class will only work when the is_singular() condition returns true. In ajax callback, this condition will return false. Instead of using Paper class, please try using the following code to get the SEO Title:

$post_id = 1;
$title = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'rank_math_title', true );
if ( '' === $title ) {
    $post_type = get_post_type( $post_id );
    $title = RankMath\Paper\Paper::get_from_options( "pt_{$post_type}_title", get_post( $post_id ), '%title% %sep% %sitename%' );
}

I hope that helps.

Hello,

An alternative to Paper class is using Rank Math’s Helper function to get the default title from settings. Please try this code:

$post_id = 1;
	$title = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'rank_math_title', true );
	if ( '' === $title ) {
		$post_type = get_post_type( $post_id );
		$title = RankMath\Helper::replace_vars( RankMath\Helper::get_settings( "titles.pt_{$post_type}_title", '%title% %sep% %sitename%' ), get_post( $post_id ) );
	}

I hope that helps.

Hello,

If the value is still returning empty, then you may need to “setup” the variables before using the replace_vars() function. Please try this instead:

$post_id = 1;
$title = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'rank_math_title', true );
if ( '' === $title ) {
	$post_type = get_post_type( $post_id );
	rank_math()->variables->setup();
	$title = RankMath\Helper::replace_vars( RankMath\Helper::get_settings( "titles.pt_{$post_type}_title", '%title% %sep% %sitename%' ), get_post( $post_id ) );
}

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