1. Dynamic Replacement Variables

SearchNexa supports standard double-percent dynamic replacement tags that interpolate post context in real-time without database lookups on each render:

%%title%%: The post or page title as entered in the editor.

%%sitename%%: The WordPress site title from General Settings.

%%sep%%: The designated title separator character (·, |, -, or —).

%%excerpt%%: The auto-generated or manually written post excerpt.

%%category%%: The primary taxonomy category for the post.

%%currentyear%%: The dynamically computed 4-digit calendar year.

%%modified_date%%: Last updated date formatted for fresh search display.

2. Editor Metadata Controls & Snippet Preview

SearchNexa provides real-time desktop and mobile SERP previews. As you type, pixel-width meters verify your title remains under 600px and your meta description stays within 960px to prevent search result truncation.

Robots meta directives (noindex, nofollow, noarchive, max-snippet, max-image-preview) can be customized per post without touching theme templates. Note: Metadata controls are verified and operational via the Classic Editor meta box, while the Gutenberg block editor sidebar panel is undergoing final production validation.

3. OpenGraph & Twitter Cards

Custom OpenGraph image upload, custom social titles, and automatic fallback to featured image dimensions ensure clean previews when your content is shared across social and messaging platforms.
