how to get the meta description from rank math and use it in a custom function?

Hello,

I apologize for the issue you are facing. To get the meta description from Rank Math and use it in a custom function, you can utilize the get_post_meta() function in WordPress. Here’s a basic example of how you can retrieve the meta description:

$meta_description = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_rank_math_description', true );

This code retrieves the meta description for the current post. You can then use $meta_description in your custom function as needed.

Other Meta/Post Meta You Can Use

In addition to the meta description, you can also access other Rank Math meta fields using similar methods. Here are some common ones:

• Meta Title:

  $meta_title = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_rank_math_title', true );

• Focus Keyword:

  $focus_keyword = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_rank_math_focus_keyword', true );

• Schema Type:

  $schema_type = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_rank_math_schema_type', true );

You can use these meta fields in your custom functions similarly to how you would use the meta description. For more detailed information on using variables and other features, you can refer to the Rank Math documentation.
