Issues with domain and excerpt

    The %except% is not generating so I am getting a “Add Focus Keyword to your SEO Meta Description.” in my Basic SEO tips and its bringing my score down.

    I am getting a “Focus Keyword not found in the URL.” in my Basic SEO tips but it is incorrect, because my domain name is exactly the same as my focus keyword.

  • Hello,

    Thanks for getting in touch and sorry for any inconvenience caused.
    The %excerpt variable works as expected when I test this on my end. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
    Sensitive Data Section

    It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

    You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Hello,

    I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?

    Thank you.

    Hi Mike,

    Thanks for the access.

    I have just checked your posts and you have not set any excerpts. I have gone ahead and toggled the option to show the excerpts from the screen options menu and you can now enter some excerpts which will be used in the SEO analysis as shown below:
    IMG

    Please note that the focus keyword needs to exist on the permalink for the “Focus Keyword not found in the URL.” test to pass. The words on the domain name do not have any spaces and thus these are different from your focus keyword.

    I hope this info helps. Thank you.

    Hi,

    But I wanted the excerpts to auto generate? It was doing it before and now has stopped, even when using the %except% tag.

    Hopefully I have explained properly, I am referring to this section…

    Hi there,

    Thanks for the follow up.

    The automatic generation of the excerpt works but this will only be displayed on the frontend. I have inspected the page source for one of your posts and as you can see below this works correctly:
    IMG

    You do not need to worry about the RM meta description test since this will not affect your SEO, the meta description is correctly set on the page source. The Rank Math SEO score is used to give you some guidance on what you need to optimize for the best SEO results.

    I hope this info helps. Thank you.
