Template Meta Issue about seomatic

[khalwat]

So it's very likely you're running into a Twig scoping issue. When you {% include %} a template, it's given a copy of the current Twig context (variables, etc.), which means that any changes made there are not propagated back to the parent template.

So for instance if you {% include %} a template that changes some SEOmatic variables, they will not be changed in the parent context's scope.

It's just how Twig works.

So you'll either need to use extends or embed

I added this to the README.md:

Important: Due to the way Twig scoping works, if you {% include %} a template, it's given a copy of the current Twig context (variables, etc.), which means that any changes made there are not propagated back to the parent template.

So for instance if you {% include %} a template that changes some SEOmatic variables, they will not be changed in the parent context's scope, so they will not be rendered by SEOmatic.

You'll need to modify the SEOmatic variables in a template that {% extends %} the main layout.twig template or via Twig embeds.
