Hi there,

Thanks for the follow up.

I think that I might not have understood your initial request. Do you want to set the SEO title from the focus keyword set or you would like the focus keyword to be generated from the tag title?

We are looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

Here is some example code that you can use to update the current term name being edited as the focus keyword:

/*
 * 
 * A snippet to get the current term being edited and set it as the 
 * the Rank Math focus keyword
 * 
 */
add_action( 'admin_init', 'custom_tags_feature' );
function custom_tags_feature(){
	global $taxnow;

    if ( ! $taxnow || empty( $_GET['tag_ID'] ) ) {
    return null;
    }

    $term_id = absint( $_GET['tag_ID'] );
    $term = get_term( $term_id, $taxnow );
	update_term_meta($term_id,'rank_math_focus_keyword',$term->name);
	
}

Please note that the page needs to be refreshed for the Rank Math tests to take effect and calculate the score.

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Hello,

Thanks for the follow up.

You can add the to your theme’s functions.php file to loop through your posts and update the focus keyword:

function update_focus_keywords() {
	$posts = get_posts(array(
	'posts_per_page'	=> -1,
	'post_type'		=> 'post' //replace post with the name of your post type
    ));
	foreach($posts as $p){
		if(get_the_tags($p->ID)){
			foreach((get_the_tags($p->ID)) as $tag) {
                $keywords[] = strtolower($tag->name);
            }
		update_post_meta($p->ID,'rank_math_focus_keyword',implode(", ", array_unique($keywords)));
		}
	}
    
}
add_action( 'init', 'update_focus_keywords' );

You would need to delete this code after the keywords have been updated. Please perform a backup before using this code since it will replace the keywords assigned to posts. Let us know how it goes.

I hope this info helps. Thank you.
