Hi Alex, I am assisting Doug with this matter. From what I can see, it doesn’t seem that a custom field can be hooked into the meta data. Can you please check with the devs if there is a workaround for this? Thank you.

The example is here, the snippet would need to be customized with the appropriate field, right now it is using post zip:

Hi Alex, the zip code is part of the native data so I see how that data is being hooked in with the meta data. However, we are trying to integrate a custom field that we created within a custom post type listing into the meta data. That goal doesn’t seem to be the same situation as the post you’ve linked.

Its pretty much the same, though the custom fields are prefixed with “geodir_” so if ur custom field htmlvar is “price” its key would be “geodir_price”

Has there been any changes that would prevent the snippet from working? I’ve added this in:
```
add_filter( 'geodir_wpseo_replacements_vars', '_my_extra_seo_vars',10,2);

function _my_extra_seo_vars( $vars, $location_array ){
  global $post;
  
  $vars['%%geodir_metro%%'] = isset($post->geodir_metro) ? $post->geodir_metro : '';
  
   return $vars;
}
```
Then in my Yoast meta I’ve added: %%title%% %%in_location%% %%geodir_metro%%

The meta description is not affected. Only the title and location is appearing.

try changing it to
```
$vars['%%geodir_metro%%'] = '123'
```
to see if it makes any difference, it might be that its not defined there and u might have to use geodir_get_post_meta();

Thank you for trying to help. Neither of these options seem to work. I’ve tried the following code:
```
$vars['%%geodir_metro%%'] = geodir_get_post_meta($post->geodir_metro, 'geodir_metro', true);
```
```
$vars['%%geodir_metro%%'] = '123'
```
Any other ideas on getting this to work?

This works (i have applied it)
```
add_filter( 'geodir_wpseo_replacements_vars', '_my_extra_seo_vars',10,2);
function _my_extra_seo_vars( $vars, $location_array ){
  global $post;
    $geodir_metro = isset($post->geodir_metro) ? $post->geodir_metro : '';
    if(!$geodir_metro){$geodir_metro = geodir_get_post_meta($post->ID,'geodir_metro',true);}
    $vars['%%geodir_metro%%'] = $geodir_metro;
   return $vars;
}
```
