The basic description does not stand up

Hello,

Thank you for the update.

Could you please confirm if you wanted to show the product meta description you have set in Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Products instead of the product short description?

If so, you can use this filter instead to force the use of the meta description you have set globally for your products:

/**
 * 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 = RankMath\Post::get_meta( 'description', $post->ID );

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

 return $description;
});

Please note that the filter may not be visible while editing the products as it only works when your products load in a browser. You can check the published product meta description via the page’s source code. You can also check using this tool.

I hope that helps.

Thank you.
