woocommerce meta descriptions

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

To force the use of the description you have set in Global product settings (Rank math > Titles & meta > Products > Single Product Description), please add the following filter to your site:

/**
 * 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;
});

The filter should be added to your active theme’s functions.php file. Here’s another way to apply the filter using the rankmath.php file:

Also, please note that the filter may not be visible while editing the products as it only works when your products load in a browser. You can check the published product meta description via the page’s source code. You can also check using this tool.

I hope that helps.

Thank you.
