    Hi,
    The %excerpt% shortcode is not working for the entire website Post/Page Description. Some time using %excerpt% it generates a description but that is randomly select only 5 to 10 words from the bottom of the content or sometimes print the Category name on page description.

    Site – Placement Store

    View View Source Code – <meta name=”description” content=”How to Apply / New Registration” />

    Assuming you are using the latest version of all the plugins and the themes (please update if not yet), please check for a conflict with one of the plugins or the theme you are using.

    Thank you.

    Dear Michael Davis Sir,
    I used to do all these one SEO before rank math, but all was going well. But since I have applied rank math, the problem is coming in meta “description”. I have seen all the plugins deactivated but there is no difference.
    You are requested to help fix this.

    Hello,

    Using %excerpt% variable automatically generates the meta description from your content. e look at the first paragraph and use that as the meta description. If you wish to choose something else, you can do so from WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Posts.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    Hi,

    I already use the %excerpt% variable and want to use it, but I have already told that it is not working properly on the website. I know that it automatically generates post or page meta descriptions. But this is not happening.

    Hope you succeed in understanding problem.

    it’s maybe a mistake, I have not done anything like this and the issue still pending. I had given access to the website by believing, but even then you are only messaging or unnecessary reply. If you are not able to resolve the issue, then tell me clearly, But not waste time unnecessarily.

    Hello,

    I am sorry for that issue, I have already set this again as not solved.

    I think we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress 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):

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Hello,

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

    Thank you.

    Dear Sir
    Sensitive Data updated, please check.

    Hello,

    I went to your page and resaved your titles and meta settings then created a new post to test this and it seems to work fine from my end. Please login to your site and check the preview URL I have shared in the sensitive section. If you are still facing this issue, please share a specific post URL and some screenshots via https://imgur.com and we will investigate further

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hi Michael Davis,
    Have you checked https://www.placementstore.com/?p=114814&preview=true Description (<meta name=”description” content=”How to Apply / New Registration” />) in source code?

    Rank Math is not generating content-picked meta descriptions i.e. 160 characters of starting paragraph of single post/page.

    In newer published posts the same problem occurs. And the description has the same data whether it’s an old or new post.

    Have a look at recent published post description – view-source:https://www.placementstore.com/bel-panchkula-recruitment/

    The issue is still going.

    Let you again recheck the above URL, if the problem solves.

    Thank You

    Hello,

    It seems to be happening because you are typing all the content inside the Classic Block, so Rank Math is not able to detect the content.

    That is also why when my colleague tried in the new post, using the normal Gutenberg blocks, everything was working fine.

    Looking forward to help you.

    Dear Sir,
    First of all, thank you for the excellent expert support.
    But this time you are wrong. It is a misconception. That the rank math is not capable of detecting content for meta description just because we are used the Classic Editor plugin.

    I have another website (Sarkari Result) and we are using Rank Math with the classic editor plugin here. Rank Math on this website easily creates all meta description as well as other tags.

    I am giving the link to confirm. view-source:https://www.sarkariresult.app/nsu-imphal-recruitment/

    Kindly sort out the problem, I have already given you access. I also know very well that only you can do this.
    Thanks,
    Best Regards

    Hello Rajesh,

    This test post: https://www.placementstore.com/test-post-rm/ seems to work with post content excerpt.

    The issue seems to be on the posts you have added your content as a table. How are you adding the table on your post? Are you using any plugin?

    Looking forward to helping you.
