Product description

Hello,

We apologize for the inconvenience you’re experiencing with the product descriptions. To reverse the priority of the product descriptions, you can use a filter to override the order of priority and make the product description the meta description for all your products.

Here’s the filter you can use:

/**
 * Use the Description from Global Setting, if the description is missing in the Post metabox
 */
add_action( 'rank_math/frontend/description', function( $description ) {
 global $post;
 $desc = RankMathPost::get_meta( 'description', $post->ID );

 if ( is_product()) {
 $desc = RankMathHelper::get_settings( "titles.pt_{$post->post_type}_description" );
 if ( $desc ) {
 return RankMathHelper::replace_vars( $desc, $post );
 }
 }

 return $description;
});

Once you’ve added this filter, the product description will be used as your meta description, even when a higher priority description is available.

If you need further assistance or have any other questions, feel free to ask. We’re here to help!

Thank you for reaching out to us!

Hello,

Apologies for the confusion.

To get the full product description to the meta description, you can use the following filter to create a variable called %woo_full_desc% that can be used in the snippet editor:

add_action( 'rank_math/vars/register_extra_replacements', function() {
	rank_math_register_var_replacement(
		'woo_full_desc',
		[
			'name'        => esc_html__( 'Woo Full Desc.', 'rank-math' ),
			'description' => esc_html__( 'Woo Full Description...', 'rank-math' ),
			'variable'    => 'woo_full_desc',
			'example'     => woo_full_desc_callback(),
		],
		'woo_full_desc_callback'
	);
} );
function woo_full_desc_callback() {
	global $post;
	if ( empty( $post ) ) {
		return 'Product Description';
	}

	return wp_strip_all_tags( $post->post_content );
}

Once done, you can use %woo_full_desc% in the meta description so it won’t result in the product short description.

Also, if you’re getting an error when inserting the filter into your theme’s functions.php, please use the other methods mentioned here:

Hope that helps.

Hello,

We modified the filter on your website to limit 160 characters in the description. However, regarding the %woo_full_desc% variable in Rank Math > Titles & Meta, we will need your FTP logins to check the issue further.

In this case, please edit the first post on this ticket again and include your FTP logins in the sensitive data section.

Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.
