term and term description

    Hi.
    I am using a plugin that uses custom category and location.
    In the SEO meta on rankmaths, if I use %term% it picks up the word fine. But if I use %term_description% it finds nothing.
    Is this a problem with your plugin?
    It works on other sites but they are using the origin nal WP category etc
    But I assume if it finds the ‘term’ and not the ‘term description’ then it is a bug?

  • Hello Tony,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

    Since you are using custom category, please use custom term description. Please note that your term has to have some description for this variable to return any content.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Well I am not using the custom term.
    I just use the normal term which works correctly.
    Which leads me to question why term_description does not work.
    Surely if one does the other will too?
    The same as if one doesn’t the other would not.
    I do have a description for the terms used.
    So it is not blank because empty

    Hello,

    I think 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:

    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):

    Is it possible I can send pics of it?

    Hello,

    Screenshots would help us understand but taking a closer look might help resolve this a bit fast since we don’t have the custom categories you are using and the issue can be easily replicated on your site.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    How can I send screenshots?
    There is no attachment upload.

    I think if term pics up the word. Then term_description should too.
    If it did not get term then you would expect term_description also to not work.

    Which indicates a bug.

    Hello,

    I was not able to reproduce it in my local installation, si I think 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.
