SEO overrides for events

I am not sure I understand. You can definitely use those settings to change the titles and metas templates.

If you are using Yoast, make sure to click to override Yoast.

What are you trying to add in the field?

Please include WP Admin credentials and login URL in case we need to check the settings.

Hello,

We found that WordPress default function strips %ca from the string on sanitize. There is already ticket open at WordPress forum. See https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/31777

For now use following PHP snippet to prevent this issue. Try to resave CPT with %%category%% again.

/**
 * sanitize_text_field() stripping instances "%ca" from %%category%%.
 *
 * See https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/31777
 */
function gd_snippet_20190827_save_post_type( $output, $post_type, $raw ) {
	if ( ! empty( $output[ $post_type ]['description'] ) ) {
		$output[ $post_type ]['description'] = gd_snippet_20190827_fix_strip_ca( $output[ $post_type ]['description'] );
	}

	if ( ! empty( $output[ $post_type ]['seo']['title'] ) ) {
		$output[ $post_type ]['seo']['title'] = gd_snippet_20190827_fix_strip_ca( $output[ $post_type ]['seo']['title'] );
	}

	if ( ! empty( $output[ $post_type ]['seo']['meta_title'] ) ) {
		$output[ $post_type ]['seo']['meta_title'] = gd_snippet_20190827_fix_strip_ca( $output[ $post_type ]['seo']['meta_title'] );
	}

	if ( ! empty( $output[ $post_type ]['seo']['meta_description'] ) ) {
		$output[ $post_type ]['seo']['meta_description'] = gd_snippet_20190827_fix_strip_ca( $output[ $post_type ]['seo']['meta_description'] );
	}

	return $output;
}
add_filter( 'geodir_save_post_type', 'gd_snippet_20190827_save_post_type', 0, 3 );

function gd_snippet_20190827_fix_strip_ca( $text ) {
	if ( ! empty( $text ) ) {
		$text = str_replace( "%tegory", "%%category", $text );
	}

	return $text;
}

Thanks,
