Meta description showing excerpt

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

This is a bit unexpected, would you mind sharing some screenshots of how this looks on the backend along with a link to one of the affected pages so that we can advise further?

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Hi Rick,

Please edit the sensitive data section and share some links from Google Drive or any image sharing platform such as https://snag.gy/

I hope this info helps. Thank you.

Hello,

You can also edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section so that we can check this first hand.

It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

We really look forward to helping you.

Hi there,

Thanks for the patience.

It looks like there is some code that is interfering with the generation of the description for this post type on your site. I have however added the following snippet on your theme to override this:

add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/description', function( $description ) {
    if ( is_singular( 'listings' ) ) {
        //global $post;
        $value = RankMath\Helper::get_settings( 'titles.pt_listings_description' );
        return '' !== $value ? RankMath\Helper::replace_vars( $value, [] ) : '';
        
    }

    return $description;
});

I hope this info helps. Thank you.

Hi Rick,

This feature works as expected on my end, it is not a Rank Math issue.
You may want to perform a conflict test to isolate what is causing this on your end to avoid using the code: https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/

Apologies for the missing comments, I have added the comments as shown below:

/*
 * Code to check the meta description that is set on the Rank Math
 * Titles & Meta > Factoring listing description and return it
 * for single listings
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/description', function( $description ) {
    if ( is_singular( 'listings' ) ) {
        //global $post;
        $value = RankMath\Helper::get_settings( 'titles.pt_listings_description' );
        return '' !== $value ? RankMath\Helper::replace_vars( $value, [] ) : '';
        
    }

    return $description;
});

Thank you.
