Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with automating the insertion of keywords. It sounds like you’re encountering some challenges with the rank-math.php
file in your child theme.
Since you mentioned that there is no rank-math.php
file in either your child or parent theme, creating one is indeed the right approach. However, if it brought up errors, it might be due to incorrect code or placement. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you set it up correctly:
-
Create the rank-math.php
File: If you haven’t already, create a new file named rank-math.php
in your child theme directory (/wp-content/themes/your-child-theme/
).
-
Add the Code Snippet: Open the newly created rank-math.php
file and add the following code snippet:
/**
* Function to automatically update the focus keyword with the post title
*/
function update_focus_keywords() {
$posts = get_posts(array(
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_type' => 'product' // Ensure this matches your post type
));
foreach ($posts as $p) {
update_post_meta($p->ID, 'rank_math_focus_keyword', strtolower(get_the_title($p->ID)));
}
}
add_action('init', 'update_focus_keywords');
-
Save and Test: After adding the code, save the file and check if it works without errors.
