Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for the delay.
You can create your own custom variable and use it on your site like the code below. The code below will limit your content in the post to 150 characters. This should go in your theme’s functions.php file.
https://pastebin.com/d3tTGLst
Once done, you can use this %limit_description% variable on your post type and it will limit 150 characters for the description.
I hope that helps. Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance with anything else.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
Hello,
Thank you for the follow-up.
It seems to be working fine on our end.
Could you please also check the post by editing and ensuring the variable %limit_description% is also applied there?
I hope that helps.
Thank you, and looking forward to helping you.
Hi,
The variable %limit_description% is applied.
In my case it doesn’t work. Maybe because the description is has many paragraphs?
Please check the post.
Can you please provide me the code for woocommerce products too?

Hello,
Thank you for the follow-up, and apologies for the delay.
In this case, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
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:

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.
Thank you.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math again.
Could you please try using this code to limit the characters of your description and let us know if it works?
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/description', function( $description ) {
if(is_single()){
return wp_html_excerpt($description, 150);
}
return $description;
});
Note that the preview of the description will not work well on the editor but it should work fine on the front end. You may check your page source or test your post here https://www.heymeta.com/.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Thank you.
Hi Brian,
this function working properly,
can you please provide a similar function for woocommerce single products?
Thank you very much for your support,

Hello,
Thanks for your reply.
You can extend the condition in the code provided by my colleague to get the desired output:
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/description', function( $description ) {
if(is_single() || is_product()){
return wp_html_excerpt($description, 150);
}
return $description;
});
Please let us know how that goes.
Thank you.
