focus keyword

Hello,

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

You can add this code in theme’s function.php

/**
 * Function to automatically update the focus keyword with the post title
 */
function update_focus_keywords()
{
    $posts = get_posts(array(
        'posts_per_page'    => -1,
        'post_type'        => 'product' //replace post with the name of your post type
    ));
    foreach ($posts as $p) {
        update_post_meta($p->ID, 'rank_math_focus_keyword', strtolower(get_the_title($p->ID)));
    }
}
add_action('init', 'update_focus_keywords');

Hello,

The code snippet we provided in the previous reply is designed to work on all existing posts existing posts but may time out if you have hundreds/thousands of posts on your website. If it seems like the code snippet is only working on newer posts, it’s because the code is timing out. To avoid time outs, you will have to run the code in batches. To do that, you will need to change the line 'posts_per_page' => -1, in the snippet to 'posts_per_page' => 100, this will make the code snippet run for only the first 100 posts in your database.

To update the focus keywords of the next 100 posts, you will need to add the line 'offset' => 100, below the line 'posts_per_page' => 100, to set the focus keywords for the second batch of 100 posts. After the second batch you will need to increment the offset by batches of 100 to get the rest of your posts. below is the full code snippet for the third batch:

/**
 * Function to automatically update the focus keyword with the post title
 */
function update_focus_keywords()
{
    $posts = get_posts(array(
        'posts_per_page'    => 100,
        'offset'            => 200, //3rd batch has offset 200, 4th batch has offset 300 etc
        'post_type'        => 'product' //replace post with the name of your post type
    ));
    foreach ($posts as $p) {
        update_post_meta($p->ID, 'rank_math_focus_keyword', strtolower(get_the_title($p->ID)));
    }
}
add_action('init', 'update_focus_keywords');

You can simply refresh any page on your website to run the code each time. When you have gone through all the posts, you may delete the snippet.

Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have questions.
