Meta Titles on Portfolio sub pages returning landing page meta title ?

Go to solution Solved by Collaborada,

Recommended Posts

Meta titles on all subpages in the Portfolio section of my website are returning Residential Architect Edinburgh | Alexander Philip architect despite the meta title for https://www.alexanderphilip.com/portfolio/kinauld-farm-currie actually reading: Kinauld Farm New Build Family House | Alexander Philip architect?

All the Portfolio sub pages are returning the Portfolio SEO meta title wrongly but the correct meta descriptions.  How can I display the text that I have input into Squarespace for each of those pages? This is having and has had a detrimental effect on my website since I set it up. Thanks      [NB This has NOTHING to do with Google!]

Do you have the SEO title set up for each portfolio sub-page? Assuming you have, when did you do that?

I thought I had done it when I originally built the website (2022) but I noticed that it wasn't working properly last year (September ish 2023) and made a change which I thought had worked, but it looks as if it is still not working ....any suggestions on how to fix ?

Yes, all index pages were input for the subpages at the outset and perhaps tweaked last September....thanks

That's interesting because it's doesn't seem to be reflected in the HTML code:

view-source:https://www.alexanderphilip.com/portfolio/kinauld-farm-currie

What title do you have for this project page in the SEO title?

Title for the page you requested is as follows:

 

SEO TITLE (OPTIONAL) Kinauld Farm New Build Family House

Description:  A new build family house designed by Alexander Philip architect. An attractive riverside setting located on the outskirts of Edinburgh. View photos of the finished project.

But showing Residential Architect Edinburgh | Alexander Philip architect ????

Hi @feefee1 you need to visit the "Items" tab on the SEO panel and set it to %i | %s (or similar): https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/206016198-Adding-SEO-descriptions#toc-add-an-seo-site-description

Thanks @Collaborada

Squarespace gives the option to add specific meta titles to each page which is what I have done - but it is not then rendering this content in the HTML pages.

If I use %I  - then, I think it would theoretical duplicate the Portfolio page meta title (landing page) as it is doing at the moment.  Is there somewhere that defines the %I  /  %s options? 

Thanks PS I don't have a problem with the meta descriptions - they are rendering correctly I.e. a different description for each page.

@Collaborada - I have implemented "% lowercase I" on the meta title for the Portfolio > Kinauld Farm page and it calls up " I Alexander Philip Architect" on the SEO panel when in the Kinauld Farm page and the html doesn't change.  That's not what I want ....

Anyway, the software won't know what the title is if I don't specifically tell it in the box that it gives me the option to do so....?  I think it is an error at the software engineer side - they are not calling in the right line to render in the html code.... How can that be fixed?
