Title: %page% variable not working Last modified: May 29, 2022 --- # %page% variable not working * Resolved [yoavshai](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yoavshai/) * (@yoavshai) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-variable-not-working/) * Hi, I am using Yoast on all my websites’ and this is the first time this sort of thing happens to me. On all my archive pages, the `%page%` variable is ignored by Yoast. For example, on my Authors archive page, I’ve set the title to be: `% Name%, Author at %Site title% %Page%` But all I get is: `Gur Tirosh, Author at Anecdotez ` I tried adding other variables, such as `%Pagenumber%` and it showed in the title tag, so the problem is only with the %page% variable. I thought of using `%Name%, Author at %Site title% - Page %Pagenumber% of %Pagetotal%`, but the problem is that this will also show on the first page. Any idea what could cause this error? Thanks * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpage-variable-not-working%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 2 replies - 1 through 2 (of 2 total) * Plugin Support [Maybellyne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maybellyne/) * (@maybellyne) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-variable-not-working/#post-15695291) * Hello Yoavshai, * Thanks for reaching out regarding using the snippet variables in your author archives. I tested this functionality and could not replicate it in Yoast SEO 19.0 and WordPress 6.0. `%Page%` works fine for me for /page/2/ but definitely not on the first page which is expected behaviour. * I am not sure what the issue is with your configuration as I also noticed the` rel="prev"` & `rel="next"` tags are missing when I view your page source. * Often, we see problems occur in combination with another plugin or theme. The fastest way to rule out any conflict, is to **deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme** like [Twenty Twenty](https://wordpress.org/themes/twentytwenty/). * Please test this on your development or staging site, if you have one. If not, we recommend using the [Health Check & Troubleshooting](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/) plugin. This plugin has a troubleshooting mode, which **does not affect normal visitors to your site**. * If you’re unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we’d like to point you to a step-by-step guide that will walk you through the process: [How to check for plugin conflicts](https://yoast.com/help/how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts/) * If you do not feel comfortable to do this yourself or if this does not solve your issue, our [Yoast SEO Premium plugin](https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo/) comes with one year of (technical) support. * [devnihil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devnihil/) * (@devnihil) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-variable-not-working/#post-15717393) * We are going ahead and marking this issue as resolved due to inactivity.
