Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.
To change the meta description of a post or page you can do as I show you in this screencast: https://i.rankmath.com/9jIRwx
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
Hi,
The excerpt comes from a post. Is there a variable that will extract the 1st line of the page?
Hello,
%excerpt% should also work on pages, are you having any issue using it on a page?
Looking forward to help you.
Hi,
The %excerpt% variable seems to extract words from the posts and not the respective page.
Hello,
I have checked your page and it seems to be showing content from your page:
Web applications are one of the most common ******** applications.
Is this not what you want? Could you please share a screenshot via https://imgur.com
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
Hi,
I have manually added the description. I would prefer to use a variable should the page content change.
Thanks
Hello,
In that case, if you know about coding or if you have a developer, you could create a custom var that will do that. You could use this filter as a base:
/**
* Action: 'rank_math/vars/register_extra_replacements' - Allows adding extra variables.
*/add_action( 'rank_math/vars/register_extra_replacements', function(){
rank_math_register_var_replacement(
'custom_variable_slug',
[
'name' => esc_html__( 'Custom variable name.', 'rank-math' ),
'description' => esc_html__( 'Custom variable description.', 'rank-math' ),
'variable' => 'custom_variable_slug',
'example' => 'custom_variable_callback()',
],
'custom_variable_callback()'
);
});
Looking forward to help you.
