Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.
Do you wish to use excerpt for all your published and future posts. If so you can use the following code for meta description to read from global settings which you can then set to excerpt.
/**
* 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;
$desc = RankMath\Helper::get_settings( "titles.pt_{$post->post_type}_description" );
if ( $desc ) {
return RankMath\Helper::replace_vars( $desc, $post );
}
return $description;
});
Hoping this helps you. Thank you.

Thank you for getting back to me and for your help.
I would like to generate no excerpt whatsoever (neither through Rankmath nor through the built-in WordPress function) and let Google pull the excerpt on its own. Does your code do that? Thanks!
Hello,
Thank you for the follow up.
The code above is to make sure all your posts get description from the global meta settings. The excerpt generated by Rank math would not be different from excerpt generated by Google. Unfortunately we do not have a function to completely remove meta description.
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Excellent, thank you so much! This helps a lot.
