Automate focus keyword

Hello,

I apologize for the issue you are facing with automating the focus keyword in your multisite setup. While the general steps to automate the insertion of focus keywords are outlined in the article you referenced, the folder structure can indeed vary in a multisite environment.

Here’s a brief overview of how you can automate the focus keyword:

1. Navigate to Theme File Editor: In your WordPress Dashboard, go to Appearance → Theme File Editor or Tools → Theme File Editor, depending on your theme type.
   

2. Add Code Snippet: You will need to add a specific code snippet to your theme’s rank-math.php file. This file is typically located in your theme’s directory. If you’re using a child theme, make sure to edit the child theme’s rank-math.php file instead.

3. Use the Correct Code: Depending on whether you want to set the focus keyword based on post titles, categories, or tags, you can use one of the provided code snippets from the article. For example, to set the post title as the focus keyword:

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

4. Save Changes: After adding the code, click Update File to save your changes.

If your folder structure is different and you’re unable to locate the rank-math.php file, please provide more details about your setup, and we can assist further. Alternatively, you can reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will take over and provide more tailored assistance.
