NO BUG: Pagination SEO Issue with RankMath: no page 2, 3, etc

When using pagination on a category page - for example EV News, Tesla Updates & Charging Tech Reports | EV Focused | Page 2 of 14, the SEO title always stays the same as you go to page 2,3… - but it should add the Page number in the tag for example: “EV News, Tesla Updates & Charging Tech Reports | Page 2 | EV Focused”

I’m using RankMath with the following setup:


(%term% - %page% %sep% %sitename%)

I have the same issue on the homepage. This is causing duplicate SEO title issue on search, example:

Is there something wrong with my setup or is this a pagination bug?

thank you

Hi,
Thanks so much for your report!

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the issue. Does it work as expected if you change to a default theme? Have you tried it on a new, basic installation?

Best regards,

hi @timmse,

Thank you for a quick response. So I fixed the Category issue - the issue was a bit silly on my end, I had a custom SEO title for the category page and did not use %page% there, so every page in pagination had same title. The RankMath category archive title placeholder only works on the SEO titles that have not been edited.

But I’m stilling having an issue on the Homepage, I have a pagination on the homepage evfocused.com, and I’m using identical formatting as I did on category pages(which worked), but for homepage pagination it’s not adding the pages.

Thank you for the help :slight_smile:

I’m glad you were able to find the cause of the problem.

Homepage pagination: the behavior is identical to a standard theme, so it’s not a Bricks issue. You may be able to use a filter to fix it - RankMath would be the better contact here, though :slight_smile:
