%search_query% variable not working

#342259
  • Resolved Jayson Van Der Schyff
    Rank Math business

    I am working on a site running The7 WordPress theme and We recently switched from Yoast to Rank Math with the hope of adding Pro, but the Search Archive title variables such as %search_query% are not working when the rank math plugin is enabled. If we disable your plugin then the search query appears in the page title, but when we enabled the rank math plugin again the query no longer displays in the page title.

    I have tried clearing the entire title setting in rank math settings, in a hope it would revert back to the theme’s default but this does not work as you appear to automatically populate it with something else instead.

    The site is also using FiboSearch plugin, but this error occurs both with and without the plugin enabled.

  • Hello,

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

    I tried replicating your issue in my own local installation and it seems to be working just fine from my end.

    Hello,

    I cleared the cache of your site and ran the search again and now the title is showing the search query:

    That is very strange as I had checked everything before sending it through to you, but thank you it seems to be working now… If I experience it again I will let you know.
