Hey, I’m developer and few of my sites affected the same issue I want to share with you.

I’m generating focus keywords for posts using ChatGPT API. For some reason API returns empty array instead of keywords separated by comma. And if I store empty array using update_post_meta($post_id, ‘rank_math_focus_keyword’, $empty_array); I get 500 error here /wp-admin/edit.php.

Right now I fixed my issue but my proposal is the following. Could you handle this case somehow so no error will appear?

Thanks a lot, really love your product 🙂

```
public function get_focus_keyword()
    {
        $keywords = '';
        if (! empty($this->args->ID)) {
            $keywords = get_post_meta($this->args->ID, 'rank_math_focus_keyword', true);
        }

        if (! empty($this->args->term_id)) {
            $keywords = get_term_meta($this->args->term_id, 'rank_math_focus_keyword', true);
        }

        $keywords = explode(',', $keywords);
        if ('' !== $keywords[0]) {
            return $keywords[0];
        }

        return null;
    }
```
Will be perfect to get any checks before you’re exploding $keywords varialbe.

Hello,

Thank you so much for getting in touch.

We tested the code from our end with a working post object and it seems the code you have presented is working without any issues. I have tested this using posts with a single focus keyword and multiple ones as well.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any other questions.

Hello,

The rank_math_focus_keyword meta key stores values as a string, not an array. That’s why the update meta function is returning an error. You should use update_post_meta(1, 'rank_math_focus_keyword', ''); to fix the issue.

I hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
