# [Plugin: WordPress SEO by Yoast] %%page%% variable inserting extra %%sep%%

 * Under Titles and Meta, I have the following as my Category title template:
 * `%%term_title%% Archives %%page%% %%sep%% %%sitename%%`
 * That ends up returning:
 * [Category Name] Archives | Page 1 of 4 | [Site Name]
 * If I change it to:
 * `%%term_title%% Archives %%sep%% %%page%% %%sep%% %%sitename%%`
 * It returns:
 * [Category Name] Archives || Page 1 of 4 | [Site Name]

 * Hey, could you please try the development version? I think I’ve fixed this 🙂
 * You can download the development version [from here](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-seo/developers/),
   or you can download it [directly here](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wordpress-seo.zip).

 * With the development version I put:
 * ‘%%term_title%% Archives %%sep%% %%page%% %%sep%% %%sitename%%’
 * And it returned:
 * [Category Name] Archives || [Site Name]
 * The double separator is still there and the page numbers are missing entirely.
   Kind of the opposite result eh? 🙂

 * Well no, not really, on page 1 it shouldn’t output numbers, you can force that
   with %%pagenumber%% and %%pagetotal%%, if you always want it to show, I would
   set the following template though:
 * %%term_title%% Archives %%page%% %%sep%% %%sitename%%
 * If it outputs something for the %%page%% variable it will automatically pre-append
   a separator.

 * I’ve also come across this issue, disabling WordPress SEO fixes it but obviously
   this isn’t the answer we need:(
 * Any ideas?
 * Could it relate to Custom Post Types?
