Custom Title Override Per Category All in One SEO Pack Feature Requests Forum

Hello,

i would like to have full control over each directory (and, possibly tag): title, keywords, description – in the same fashion as we have over regular posts now.

Thank you in advance.

I am also looking for the same feature ? can you implement this with WP SEO i.e. custom titles for each category ?

any other wp plug-in which has this option ?

Hi, again. Sorry to post two replies right in a row, but I wanted to let folks know how to solve this. Takes a bit of doing, but here's how I accomplished it. If you're wanting to set up a category page with a unique, custom title, you'll first want to create a category-ID.php template (where ID = the number of the category). Also, create a header-ID.php file that's a copy of your original header.php file. Open the new header-ID.php file, and change the information in the title tags to be whatever you want to name your category page (<title>Your Custom Title</title>).

Now, open up your category-ID.php file and comment out the "get header" reference. Replace it with an include for your new header-ID.php file. It should end up looking something like this:
<?php include('./wp-content/themes/heatmaptheme/header-4.php'); ?>
<?php // get_header(); ?>

Last, but definitely not least, you'll want to go into your All-in-One SEO configuration and scroll all the way down to the "Exclude Pages" field. There, you simply need to enter the name of the category you're wanting to do the custom title on. Don't include any slashes — just enter the category name by itself. Then click the Update Options button… and you're set!

There's probably an easier, more elegant way to accomplish this, but I figured I'd share something that would at least work. (Or at least I hope it works for other people)
