Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing. To integrate Rank Math’s focus keywords function with your front-end post submission, you can utilize the custom fields option in your front-end post submission plugin. Here’s a general approach to achieve this:
-
Custom Field Setup: In your front-end post submission form, create a custom field for the focus keywords. You can name this field something like rank_math_focus_keyword.
-
Save Keywords: When the post is submitted, ensure that the value from this custom field is saved as post meta. This is crucial as Rank Math retrieves focus keywords from post meta.
-
Use Rank Math Filters: You can use the rank_math/focus_keyword filter to set the focus keyword programmatically. Here’s a code snippet you can add to your theme’s functions.php file:
add_action('wp_insert_post', function($post_id) {
// Check if it's a valid post type and not an autosave
if (get_post_type($post_id) === 'your_post_type' && !wp_is_post_autosave($post_id)) {
// Get the focus keyword from custom field
$focus_keyword = get_post_meta($post_id, 'rank_math_focus_keyword', true);
if ($focus_keyword) {
// Update Rank Math focus keyword
update_post_meta($post_id, '_rank_math_focus_keyword', $focus_keyword);
}
}
});
Replace 'your_post_type' with the actual post type you are using for submissions.
-
Testing: After implementing the above code, test the front-end submission to ensure that the focus keywords are being saved correctly and are visible in the Rank Math settings for that post.
This approach allows users to input focus keywords directly from the front end, and it integrates seamlessly with Rank Math’s functionality.
