How to add listing title as focus keyword

Hello,

I apologize for the issue you are facing. To automatically set each listing’s title as the focus keyword in your "My Listing" theme, you can add a custom code snippet to your theme’s rank-math.php file. This will ensure that both existing and newly added listings have their titles set as focus keywords.

Here’s a code snippet you can use:

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

Instructions:

1. Navigate to WordPress Dashboard → Appearance → Theme File Editor (for a Classic Theme) or WordPress Dashboard → Tools → Theme File Editor (for a Block Theme).
2. Open the rank-math.php file.
3. Add the above code snippet to the file.
4. Click Update File to save your changes.

Important Note:

• Make sure to replace 'listing' in the code with the actual post type name used by your "My Listing" theme if it differs.
• This code will replace any existing focus keywords with the listing titles. If you want to set the title as a focus keyword only for listings that don’t have a focus keyword set, let me know, and I can provide an alternative snippet.
