Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
With the “echo”, where do you mean you would like to display it? Since the code you shared is to modify the brand in the schema, so to help you to adapt it we would need to know where you want to use that primary term.
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
Perhaps the code is not so helpful after all, it was just the closest thing I could find.
Basically I want to echo the primary taxonomy in my page template, and ideally use it in a php $variable as well.
Hello,
This line:
$primary_cat_id = get_post_meta( $product->id, 'rank_math_primary_category', true );
is the one used to get the product page primary category and assigns it to a variable named $primary_cat_id. You can use or echo this variable as you page primary category.
Hope that helps. If you have any further question(s), please let us know. Thank you.
Thank you. So what would the code look like in my use case, where the primary taxonomy is on a CPT called ‘casino_review’ and the taxonomy name is ‘geolocation’.
I assume that I’m right in thinking that this option is generated by Rank Math?

Hello,
Yes, the option you showed in the screenshot is added by the Rank Math plugin. You can use the code my colleague provided to get the Primary term id and based on the term id you can get the term object by using get_term_by() function. Here is an example:
$primary_term_id = get_post_meta( $product->id, 'rank_math_primary_geolocation', true );
$primary_term = get_term_by( 'id', $primary_term_id, 'geolocation' );
echo $primary_term->name;
I hope that helps.
The code didn’t work unfortunately (returned nothing), so I tried to adapt it:
$post_id = get_the_ID();
$post_meta = get_post_meta($post_id, 'rank_math_primary_geolocation', false);
$primary_term = get_term_by( 'id', $post_meta, 'geolocation' );
echo $primary_term->name;
$primary_term returns nothing, but $post_meta returns ‘array’.
Any further ideas would be appreciated.
Hello,
It returns the array due to the “false” added in the code, just do this modification:
$post_id = get_the_ID();
$post_meta = get_post_meta($post_id, 'rank_math_primary_geolocation', true);
$primary_term = get_term_by( 'id', $post_meta, 'geolocation' );
echo $primary_term->name;
Looking forward to help you.
Unfortunately, still doesn’t work. However I’m now using an alternative solution.
Thanks for trying 🙂

Hi, i use <?php $primary_cat_id = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'rank_math_primary_category', false ); ?><?php print_r( $primary_cat_id ); ?>
but it’s print Category ID, not category name.
For example our primary category Name is Example and it’s Id is 1 then according this code output will 1 instead Example.
So how to fix this code?
Does this work?
<?php $primary_cat_id = get_post_meta($post->title, 'rank_math_primary_category', false ); ?>
<?php $primary_cat_id->taxonomy; ?>
Not working. nothing prints.
Correction:
<?php $primary_cat_id = get_post_meta($post->title, 'rank_math_primary_category', false ); ?>
<?php echo $primary_cat_id->taxonomy; ?>
