Experiencing an issue with the Brands Archive Titles when using %parent_title%

Hello,

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

Please note that the variable %parent_title% is meant for actual posts, pages or CPTs, not for taxonomies or archives.

You may try this to get the parent title and see if that works for you:

add_action('rank_math/vars/register_extra_replacements', function () {
  rank_math_register_var_replacement(
    'parent_archive_title',
    [
      'name'        => esc_html__('Parent Archive Title', 'rank-math'),
      'description' => esc_html__('Parent Archive Title', 'rank-math'),
      'variable'    => 'parent_archive_title',
      'example'     => parent_archive_title_callback(),
    ],
    'parent_archive_title_callback'
  );
});
function parent_archive_title_callback() {
  $term = get_queried_object();
  $taxonomy = $term->taxonomy;

  // Climb up the hierarchy until we reach a term with parent = '0'
  while (isset($term->parent) && $term->parent != '0') {
    $term_id = $term->parent;
    $term  = get_term($term_id, $taxonomy);
  }

  return $term->name;
}

You’ll have to use the variable %parent_archive_title%.

As for the translation issue, please make sure Rank Math is working well with WPML, to do so, install the glue plugin from WPML that helps integrate SEO plugins (if not yet): https://wpml.org/compatibility/2021/04/wpml-seo-plugin-better-integration-with-seo-plugins/

Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.
