Meta Description for Custom Post Type Archive pages about the-seo-framework

[sybrew]

Hi Aldo,

That's a great idea, and it's already planned!

See the related topic: #20

Cheers!

Thanks for your feedback!
Any timeframe? It is really the only thing we are waiting for to change the SEO plugin.
Cheers

Hi Aldo,

There's no ETA as of yet; it might take a couple of weeks, it might even be delayed until early 2017.

For now, if you'd like, you can easily manually inject descriptions for certain pages or post types without any notable performance impacts with the filters below.

add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_description_output', 'my_special_description', 10, 2 );
add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_ogdescription_output', 'my_special_description', 10, 2 );
add_filter( 'the_seo_framework_twitterdescription_output', 'my_special_description', 10, 2 );
/**
 * Alters the description on special conditions.
 *
 * @param string $description The current description.
 * @param int $id The Post, Page or Term ID.
 * @return string Description. Does not need to be escaped.
 */
function my_special_description( $description = '', $id = 0 ) {

    /** 
     * @link https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/is_post_type_archive/
     */
    if ( is_post_type_archive( 'my_post_type_name' ) ) {
        $description = 'My super description';
    }

    return $description;
}

Great! Thanks you.

I have 'autodescription-meta' added to my CPT custom support and I have no idea where I can modify the SEO content for CPT archive for meta content including social.

In the html, there's no Twitter information, just open graph.

Hi @carasmo

autodescription-meta is no longer needed from TSF 3.0.4, which was released a few days ago.
If the CPT has public and rewrite set to true (or any form of true-ish), then TSF can and will interact with it. For more information, consult WordPress' register_post_type() documentation.

For CPT archives, please see this comment, where I discussed implementing support for CPT archives.
The implementation of which is to be announced. Nevertheless, it's next in line to be included.

P.S. This is a very old issue that's discussed elsewhere, so I'm closing this for new comments. Feel free to open a new issue or continue at #20 😄
