    Hi there

    I don’t want to link my site, because it’s a development site, but I’m linking to a site that uses the same Events Calendar plugin so that you can see how it works. https://mindingyourmind.org/calendar/

    On the Calendar listing page on my site, the page is correctly identified in the browser title as Class Calendar | Site Name.

    When I click on Month view, the page shows as Untitled | Site Name. If I reload the page, then it has the title Class Calendar | Site Name.

    If I deactivate the SEO Framework, the title is correct and the Untitled thing doesn’t happen.

    I have some additional questions.

    1. Is it important to add SEO to FAQ and Category entries?

    2. Events Calendar layers a ticket over a hidden product that it creates in Woocommerce. Is it still necessary to have SEO on the hidden product?

    3. How can I remove the Archive: and Category: that is pre-pended onto the page names?

    Howdy!

    The Events Calendar has suffered from a bug for many years now. This affects all SEO plugins, but every SEO plugin handles this edge case sporadically differently. The Events Calendar authors documented this issue for Yoast SEO: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/yoast-wordpress-seo-plugin-conflicts/.

    I found a workaround, however, for the next update.

    1. I’ll introduce a compatibility snippet that allows fetching titles for the List view queries.
    2. I made the query-support-detection more robust because the “Month” view doesn’t set up a proper query whilst still requesting a title from WordPress (this is a discrepancy in The Events Calendar, of which I doubt their devs are aware). Aside: They also transient-cache the month query but not the List query, owing to the trickiness of debugging.

    As for your additional questions:

    1. Do what makes the most sense for the (potential) visitor.

    2. If a product is hidden, it shouldn’t be indexed. Not allowing something to be indexed is also part of SEO.

    3. The prefix will go away if you fill in a custom title. You can also untick the related option at “SEO Settings > Title Settings > Prefixes” to affect all archives immediately.

    I hope this helps! Cheers 🙂
