    I have added %%category%% to the search page title and it does not show when searching with a category. Img attached of title meta. I also activated the widget titles to show the meta also and when adding %%category%% to the widget title, it gets changed to %tegory%% automatically. What?

    Example search with a blank space in the title for category:
    https://classicalcitizens.com/?geodir_search=1&stype=gd_place&sgd_placecategory%5B%5D=670&s=+&snear=&set_location_type=3&set_location_val=1&sgeodir_languages=&sgeodir_timing=&sgeo_lat=&sgeo_lon=

    Hello,

    I am not at all sure what is happening there wih that widget. Entering the string and pressing save results in it being cutoff. I cannot account for it, but wil say it is probably a WP related issue.

    I am also not sure that the replacement tags are supposed to work that way. I will flag it for the team to take a look when they get back into the office.

    I don’t think search is set to use category tag as there is no actual WP category set, its just a url parameter not a category page.

    To clarify, even though WP is doing “something weird” with the %%category%% string (cutting off the first part of it) even if it was fully complete, the %%category%% tag is not active on the search page and so shouldn’t be included.

    Hope that helps
