Using woocommerce rich snipt

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

If you would like to use the product short description, kindly change the variable to %wc_shortdesc%

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

This will require a bit of customization since Rank Math will check if the short description exists first before loading the long description.
Here is a code snippet that you can use only on the frontend to load a custom description:

/**
 * Allow changing the meta description sentence from within the theme.
 *
 * @param string $description The description sentence.
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/description', function( $description ) {
	return $description;
});

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

I have checked this post and https://supperkart.com/omo-liquid-laundry-detergent/ and the right description is generated from the product description as you can see below:

Removing the short description works as you can see above.

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.

You can add the following code snippet to your theme’s functions.php file to get the long product description and add this to your meta description:

/**
 * Allow changing the meta description sentence from within the theme.
 *
 * @param string $description The description sentence.
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/description', function( $description ) {
	   global $post; 
	   if(is_singular( 'product' )){

		    $description = apply_filters( 'the_content', $post->post_content );
			return '' !== $description ? wp_html_excerpt( $description, 156 ) : '';
		}
	    return $description;
});

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Hello,

Thanks for getting back to me, I am not sure why we never got a notification for this reply.

The code will only work on the frontend. Please inspect the page source on the single products and let us know how this goes.

Thank you.

Hi there,

Thanks for the question.

Yes this code will generate a custom meta description on the frontend that will be extracted from the product long description.

I hope this info helps. Thank you.

Hi there,

Thanks for the reply.

The first code on this thread is the bare bone filter without any customization while the second snippet shown below uses the global $post to get the long description from the current product. This is one of the ways to get the long description but you can also use the native WooCommerce API functions or the global $product to get the same value. The one below works on my end.

/**
 * Allow changing the meta description sentence from within the theme.
 *
 * @param string $description The description sentence.
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/description', function( $description ) {
	   global $post; 
	   if(is_singular( 'product' )){

		    $description = apply_filters( 'the_content', $post->post_content );
			return '' !== $description ? wp_html_excerpt( $description, 156 ) : '';
		}
	    return $description;
});

Please add it to your theme’s functions.php file and let me know how this goes. Thank you.
