Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.
The excerpt is the default meta description setting when the description field is empty. if you don’t wish to import the data from Yoast, you can set the meta data Globally under products in Rank math > Titles & Meta and then use the following filter in your theme’s functions.php to apply the use of the Description from Global Setting, if the description is missing in the Post metabox.
/**
* 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 ( ! $desc ) {
$desc = RankMath\Helper::get_settings( "titles.pt_{$post->post_type}_description" );
if ( $desc ) {
return RankMath\Helper::replace_vars( $desc, $post );
}
}
return $description;
});
Hope that helps. If you have any further question(s), please let us know. Thank you.
thanks for the reply, we already this code in the knowlegdebase fo rank math. This code does not solve the issue.
Addition information, our test team has found out this issue also impact the new post.
So, basically, if the Woocommerce product post has no value in the excerpt, the meta data of SEO description is showing the right information. If the excerpt field has value, the SEO description will be set to the value of the excerpt field. Looks like a bug to us. This should be happen, the SEO description should also follow the setting of Rank Math. So in this situation, the only solution is to empty alle short description fields of all the products.
Hi,
We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

We really look forward to helping you.
