Issue with Title & Meta Description

Hello,

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

I have checked several posts and the meta descriptions seem to be working as expected. Could you please perform another import so that we can test this further?

Please note that you can also force your posts to pick up the global settings by heading over to Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Listings and hit save.

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

HI Suvidha,

Thanks for the reply.

I think that I’ve now been able to understand your problem.
Google recommends that the meta description should be 155 – 160 characters since this is what will be displayed on the SERP.
This is the reason the auto generated description is trimmed to 160 characters when a manual description has not been set.
Please note that adding all the listings tags will not do much to improve your SEO since these will not be displayed on the SERP if the characters are more than 160.

I hope this info helps. Thank you.

Hi there,

Thanks for the reply.

You will need to write some code to create a custom meta description for the frontend by using the following code snippet:

/**
 * Allow changing the meta description sentence from within the theme.
 *
 * @param string $description The description sentence.
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/description', function( $description ) {
	global $post;
	$desc = RankMath\Helper::get_settings( "titles.pt_{$post->post_type}_description" );
    if ( $desc && is_singular('listing')) {
    return RankMath\Helper::replace_vars( $desc, $post );
	}
	return $description;
});

I hope this info helps.
