title cannot be changed. description for multilingual homepage

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

Could you please share the affected website URL so we can check? Also, please share the name of the multilingual plugin you’re using.

Meanwhile, here’s a link you can check for translating titles and descriptions if you’re using WPML on your site:

Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.

Hello,

Rank Math is currently not fully compatible with Polylang so translated meta descriptions might not be automatically generated, depending on your setup.

Please add the following code snippet to your website to translate meta descriptions:

add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/description', function( $description ) {
	foreach (pll_languages_list( ['fields' =>'locale'] ) as $current_locale){
		if (get_locale() == $current_locale ) {
			$opt_titles = get_option('rank-math-options-titles'); //tax_post_tag_description is an item inside the rank-math-options-titles database field.
			$description = \RankMath\Helper::replace_vars(pll_translate_string( $opt_titles['tax_post_tag_description'], get_locale() ));
			return $description;
		}
	}
});

You can follow this guide for how to add the code to your website: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/

Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have questions.

Hello,

I’ve checked your site, and your homepage is set to noindex. Please note that the canonical tag is only added when a page is set to index.

Also, it seems that you’re using Rank Math PRO but the account you have used to open this ticket is the Rank Math free version.

Can you please search and forward a receipt from FastSpring.com or the email address you used to purchase so we can locate your account and verify it?

Please note that we don’t offer support for nulled or cracked plugins as we explain here: https://rankmath.com/kb/rank-math-pro-nulled/

Meanwhile, please share where are you seeing the duplicate description so we can check as well. You can upload screenshots using this tool and share the generated link here.

Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.

Hello,

Please share some of the affected posts/page URLs here so we can take a closer look at them.

Looking forward to helping you.

Hello,

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:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

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.

Hello,

I tried adding the code to your website theme and the meta description seems to be added and I don’t see any duplicate description tags in your posts and pages. Please refer to my screenshot:

Please ensure to clear your website cache and check again on your end. For now, I leave the code active in your theme’s functions.php.

However, the description is still not inserted for the secondary languages so I recommend checking this one with Polylang. In the past, we have tried collaborating with Polylang but they didn’t respond to our request to add full compatibility of their plugin and ours.

As for the canonical, the home page is already generating a self-referencing canonical URL as you can see in my screenshot here:

The other languages are also generating the correct canonical URL.

Looking forward to helping you.
