Excerpt to short

    Hi,

    we use the %excerpt% for our descriptions but the output on the frontend ist to short. It only show the first H2 Headline and not the expected 160 characters. We use AVADA with the fusion builder, just for your interest.

    Thanks in advanced.

    Best Regards
    Marc

    Hello,

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

    Is the H3 headline and the post content located in different modules? Would you mind sharing a screenshot of post edit UI?
    Please note that you can also workaround this by clicking on the edit snippet option and entering a manual description if this does not affect all your posts.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hi Michael,

    yes, the Headline is in a TITLE module and the PARAGRAPH in a TEXT Module (see screenshot sensitive data). Can you fix this issue with the Fusion Builder?

    And yes we know we can add excerpts manually but we want the dynamic version, because we have a multilingual website.

    Best Regards
    Marc

    Hello,

    Thanks for the follow up.

    We might need to write some custom code to get the value from the two modules. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
    Sensitive Data Section

    It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

    You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Hi Marc,

    I am sorry but to keep things manageable and readable – we use the first para, H1, H2 only. This helps keep the meta description readable which is more important because users and search engines do not like jumped meta description. Which is what happens when you setup something to use first 160 characters with no respect for formating.

    You can easily set a manual meta description for the pages where you are facing this issue:

    Classic Editor – Add a Meta Description: https://i.rankmath.com/dhECkg
    Gutenberg – Add title and description – https://i.rankmath.com/ZO21Cd

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
