Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Are you are using Custom Layout as your Homepage?
If yes, Rank Math would not able to set the description on the homepage.
In this case, you can change the Homepage description by adding this filter in the theme’s functions.php file:
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/description', function( $description ) {
$description = 'ABC'; //Replace ABC with the meta description
return $description;
});
Here is a guide you can follow to add the filter:

Hope that helps.
Thank you.
Thanks! The meta description is now displayed in the home page source code. Unfortunatly, the filter now also overwrites all meta descriptions of apparently every single post page, which were previously individual. Now the same description is everywhere. I’m looking for a solution for the home page only.
Hello,
Could you please update the filter to target only your homepage?
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/description', function( $description ) {
if ( is_home()){
$description = 'ABC'; //Replace ABC with the meta description
}
return $description;
});
Let us know how this goes.
Thank you.
It works. Thank you very much!
