Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Please note that this is the order we follow to generate meta descriptions for WooCommerce product:
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
To force the use of the description you have set in Global product settings (Rank math > Titles & meta) you can add the following filter to your active theme’s functions.php file:
/**
* 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 ( is_product()) {
$desc = RankMath\Helper::get_settings( "titles.pt_{$post->post_type}_description" );
if ( $desc ) {
return RankMath\Helper::replace_vars( $desc, $post );
}
}
return $description;
});
