I have a custom field called clinic_places and I want that to be in the Meta title. I’ve tried the following but none of them worked:

%%clinic_places%%
%%cf_clinic_places%%
%%cf_geodir_clinic_places%%
%%geodir_clinic_places%%

I also want the address to be in Meta Title. I’ve tried the following and did not work

%%Address%%
%%cf_Address%%
%%geodir_Address%%

Please help!

Hi there, if you want to display custom fields in title, then you need to use custom code in your child theme.

Since you said you have custom field called clinic_places

I would try like this.
```
add_filter('pre_get_document_title', 'geodir_custom_fields_page_title', 100);
add_filter('wp_title', 'geodir_custom_fields_page_title', 100, 2);

function geodir_custom_fields_page_title($title = '', $sep = '') {
    if (geodir_is_page('detail')) {
        global $post;
        if (isset($post->clinic_places)) {
            $title = str_replace('%%cf_clinic_places%%', $post->clinic_places, $title);
        }
    }
    return $title;
}
```
Please note, custom fields only work with detail pages. So you should use custom field only for “Details page meta title” setting in Title and Meta

If you would like to display clinic places at the end of the title

Just use this format
```
%%title%% %%sep%% %%cf_clinic_places%%
```
Basically my code replaces %%cf_clinic_places%% text with origin custom field value.

If you have multiple post types with different custom fields then it gets complicated.

Oh nevermind I made a small modification to your code above and now it worked:
```
add_filter('pre_get_document_title', 'geodir_custom_fields_page_title', 100);
add_filter('wp_title', 'geodir_custom_fields_page_title', 100, 2);

function geodir_custom_fields_page_title($title = '', $sep = '') {
    if (geodir_is_page('detail')) {
        global $post;
        
        $title = str_replace('%%cf_clinic_places%%', $post->geodir_clinic_places, $title);
        
    }
    return $title;
}
```
