Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for the delay and for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.
You can set the meta description for all of your products by heading to your WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Post Types: Products
Here’s a link for more information:

You can check this screencast I’ve created:

I hope that helps. Thank you, and looking forward to your update.
Thanks for the reply.
I will explain a bit more regarding the issue.
[1]. We have set the Global setting, and we want to use that setting for all Woocommerce posts. see screenshot: https://snipboard.io/O80bvT.jpg
[2]. We want to keep using the Excerpt field for SEO purpose. So we cannot leave this empty. Rank math has the logic to use the excerpt value instead of Global settings… and that is something we want to change. the current work-around is to empty all the excerpt field to get the Product desciption loaded with Global Setting. see screenshot:

[3]. This is the automated filled description we want to see, we do add the excerpt value, but in the global setting. https://snipboard.io/fvyKgk.jpg
We do have already used most of the suggested code from the RankMAth knowledge base. one of the lastest code what we used is:

but its still not working…
Hello,
Thank you for the update, and sorry for the delay.
Please use the filter below to force the default meta description you have set to your products.
/**
* Use the Description from Global Setting, if the description is missing in the Post metabox
*/
add_action( 'rank_math/frontend/description', function( $description ) {
global $post;
$desc = RankMath\Post::get_meta( 'description', $post->ID );
if ( is_product()) {
$desc = RankMath\Helper::get_settings( "titles.pt_{$post->post_type}_description" );
if ( $desc ) {
return RankMath\Helper::replace_vars( $desc, $post );
}
}
return $description;
});
Please note that in the Edit snippet, it will not work there as the filter will run when the product page loads in the browser. Please refer to this screencast:
