Use Brand Names from another column

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to us with your query about using brand names from another column in your WooCommerce store with Rank Math.

To enable Rank Math to recognize brand names from a custom column in your database, you can follow these steps:

1. Create a Custom Brand Name: You can use the provided code snippet from this link to create a custom brand name and assign it to products. However, since you sell products from multiple brands, you will need to modify the code to dynamically fetch the brand details from your ‘Brands’ column in the database.

2. Modify the Code: You will need to customize the code snippet to fetch the brand details from your ‘Brands’ column in the database and assign them to the respective products. This customization may require some coding knowledge or assistance from a developer familiar with PHP and WordPress.

3. Testing: Once you have modified the code to fetch brand details from your custom column, you can test it by running your website through the Google Structured Data Testing Tool to ensure that the brand names are being correctly added to your product schema.

If you encounter any difficulties or need further assistance while implementing this customization, please feel free to reply to this ticket, and our support team will be happy to assist you further.

Thank you for using Rank Math!

Hello,

You can use that filter to add your brand names to your Product schema dynamically.

You can reach out to the plugin you’re using to define brand names and ask them to let you know what the custom field for that brand is – and then you can use that in the filter instead of ‘Rank Math’

Here’s an example code you can use as a guide:

/**
 * Filter to add Brand Name for Products.
 *
 * @param array $entity Snippet Data
 * @return array
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_product_entity', function( $entity ) {
    global $post; 

    // Replace 'brand-cf' with the actual custom field name where you store the brand name
    $brand_name = get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'brand-cf', true );  // Retrieve brand name from custom field

    if ( ! empty( $brand_name ) ) {
        $entity['brand']['@type'] = 'Brand';
        $entity['brand']['name'] = $brand_name;
    }

    return $entity;
});

We hope this helps you resolve the issue. Don’t hesitate to contact us again with any other questions or concerns regarding Rank Math. We are always happy to help.
