HTML Blocks showing in meta description

Hello,

I checked the source of the page and there is a different meta description set than the desired one. Please have a look at the screencast in the sensitive data section of this ticket.

Please update the meta description with the desired one: https://rankmath.com/kb/seo-meta-tags/#seo-description-classic-editor

Further, clear your website’s cache and wait for Google to crawl the website again and see if the description on the SERP updates.

Do note that if everything’s fine and Google still decides to show a different meta title/description, then there is nothing you can do, other than further optimize the meta title/description, as Google sometimes ignores the custom meta info altogether and show something from the page’s content that matches the search intent better.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hello,

This is the order we follow to generate meta descriptions for WooCommerce products:
1. Content from the SEO Description field
If that is missing, then:
2. WooCommerce Excerpt or Product Short Description
If that is missing, then:
3. Template From General Settings in WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Products
If that is missing, then:
4. Auto generated Content from the product page

If you wish to give more preference to the description set in Titles & Meta > Products, then you can add the below code in your theme’s functions.php file:

add_action( 'rank_math/frontend/description', function( $generated ) {
	if ( ! is_product() ) {
		return $generated;
	}
	global $post;
	$desc = RankMath\Helper::get_settings( "titles.pt_product_description" );
	$desc = RankMath\Helper::replace_vars( $desc, $post );
	return empty( $desc ) ? $generated : $desc;
});

If you wish to automatically use the Product Long Description as the meta description and you’ve added some content in the Short Description field, you can add the above code to the website and modify and use this filter to register a variable for getting the Long Description: https://rankmath.com/kb/filters-hooks-api-developer/#add-extra-variables

Further, use that variable in the “Single Product Description” field under Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Products, and see if you get the desired output.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.
