  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with the %categories% placeholder not working for the Products meta title. It can be frustrating when things don’t work as expected.

    The %categories% placeholder should typically pull in the relevant category information for your product. If it is showing up as blank, there could be a few reasons for this:

    1. Template Settings: Ensure that you have correctly set up the template for your product titles in the Rank Math settings. You can check this by navigating to Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Products and verifying that the template includes the %categories% placeholder.

    2. Category Assignment: Make sure that the product is actually assigned to a category. If the product is not categorized, the placeholder will not have any data to pull from.

    3. Caching Issues: Sometimes, caching plugins or server-side caching can cause issues with displaying updated meta titles. Try clearing your site cache and see if that resolves the issue.

    4. Theme Compatibility: In some cases, the theme you are using may not fully support dynamic placeholders. You might want to check if there are any known compatibility issues with your theme.

    If you’ve checked all of these and the issue persists, please reply to this ticket with more details about your settings or any other relevant information, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

    Hello,

    Please note that the variables %tag% and %category% will not work since they are for your regular posts.

    For products, you should use the %term% or %customterm(taxonomy-name)% variables on your meta title/description.

    To include the primary category of the product, please use this variable in the title field:
    %customterm(product_cat)%

    Here’s a link for more information about variables:

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you. That worked.
