Sorry guys, digging a little deeper – it looks like it is working on SOME products, but not on others. Even though we don’t have a description set in the Meta snippet. I’ll do some more digging and post the solution if I find it.
Hello,
Thank you for contacting us.
This is the order we follow to generate meta descriptions for WooCommerce products:
1. Content from SEO Description field
If that is missing, then:
2. WooCommerce Excerpt or Product Short Description
If that is missing, then:
3. Template From General Settings in WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Products
If that is missing, then:
4. Auto generated Content from the product page
If you wish to give more preference to the description set in Titles & Meta > Products, then you can add the below code in your theme’s functions.php file:
add_action( 'rank_math/frontend/description', function( $generated ) {
if ( ! is_product() ) {
return $generated;
}
global $post;
$desc = RankMath\Helper::get_settings( "titles.pt_product_description" );
$desc = RankMath\Helper::replace_vars( $desc, $post );
return empty( $desc ) ? $generated : $desc;
});
Hope this helps.
Thank you.
Thanks Prabhat. The issues seems to have resolved itself, but we didn’t do anything. Does RankMath cache any of this data?
Sorry, I was looking at the Product Title. Your snippet worked, thank-you!
