Hello, I’m sorry for the inconvenience you’re facing. To automatically add the title as the focus keyword for your custom post type ‘Woningen’, you can use the following code snippet in your theme’s functions.php file:
/**
* Function to automatically update the focus keyword with the post title for custom post type 'Woningen'
*/
function update_focus_keywords_for_custom_post_type() {
$posts = get_posts(array(
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_type' => 'woningen' // Replace 'woningen' with the name of your custom post type
));
foreach ($posts as $p) {
update_post_meta($p->ID, 'rank_math_focus_keyword', strtolower(get_the_title($p->ID)));
}
}
add_action('init', 'update_focus_keywords_for_custom_post_type');
Please ensure that you replace 'woningen' with the actual name of your custom post type.
This code will automatically set the post title as the focus keyword for the custom post type ‘Woningen’. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to ask.

I did put this in my functions php but no luck:
/**
* Function to automatically update the focus keyword with the post title, if no focus keyword is set
*/
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){
// Checks if Rank Math keyword already exists and only updates if it doesn’t have it
$rank_math_keyword = get_post_meta( $p->ID, ‘rank_math_focus_keyword’, true );
if ( ! $rank_math_keyword ){
update_post_meta($p->ID,’rank_math_focus_keyword’,strtolower(get_the_title($p->ID)));
}
}
}
add_action( ‘init’, ‘update_focus_keywords’ );
Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to this issue.
From your last response, it appears you didn’t modify the post type in the code to reflect the custom post type.
If woningen is the custom post type then it should be 'post_type' => 'woningen'
Let us know how this goes. Please let us know if you have further questions or concerns.
Thank you.
I tried this:
But it did not work (on my staging site)
/**
* Function to automatically update the focus keyword with the post title, if no focus keyword is set
*/
function update_focus_keywords() {
$posts = get_posts(array(
‘posts_per_page’ => -1,
‘post_type’ => ‘woningen’ // Replace post with the name of your post type
));
foreach($posts as $p){
// Checks if Rank Math keyword already exists and only updates if it doesn’t have it
$rank_math_keyword = get_post_meta( $p->ID, ‘rank_math_focus_keyword’, true );
if ( ! $rank_math_keyword ){
update_post_meta($p->ID,’rank_math_focus_keyword’,strtolower(get_the_title($p->ID)));
}
}
}
add_action( ‘init’, ‘update_focus_keywords’ );
