Stop Titles from auto populating

Hello,

I’m sorry to hear that you’re facing issues with the titles auto-populating in Rank Math. To prevent the titles from being automatically populated, you don’t need to edit any PHP files. You can manage this directly within the Rank Math plugin settings.

When you make changes to the titles and meta settings in Rank Math, ensure that you click on the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of each setting to save your modifications. If you navigate away from the settings area without saving, your changes will not be applied.

Here is a step-by-step guide to save your settings in Rank Math:

1. Make the desired changes to the titles and meta settings.
2. Click on the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of each setting.
   
3. Wait for a few seconds for the page to refresh, and you will see a confirmation message at the top of the screen indicating that your settings have been updated.
   

By following these steps, your changes should be saved successfully without the titles auto-populating. If you encounter any further issues or need additional assistance, feel free to reply here, and a human agent from our support team will assist you promptly.

Thank you for reaching out with your concern.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

For initial troubleshooting, please check if you are using a Firewall as it may prevent saving the changes. If you are using a Firewall, please whitelist this route:

/wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateMeta

For more information on this issue, you can follow this guideline: https://rankmath.com/kb/meta-data-not-saving/

However, if you want to remove the <title> tag totally from your page source, it is not possible right now. You can change the <title> tag but can not remove it entirely.

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

Thank you.

Hello,

In this case, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.

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):

We really look forward to helping you.
