Auto creating Keywords

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math support and we apologize for the inconvenience.

We understand that you want to simultaneously change the focus keyword for multiple posts. Yes, this is technically possible, but it requires some custom coding. We can help you with that, but we need to know your specific goal, i.e. posts from what year to what year do you want to change?

For example, here is a code snippet that can automatically update the focus keyword with the post tags for all your posts:

/**
 * Function to automatically update the focus keyword with the post tags
 */
function update_focus_keywords()
{
    $posts = get_posts(array(
        'posts_per_page' => 100,
        'post_type' => 'post' //replace post with the name of your post type
    ));
    foreach ($posts as $p) {
        $keywords = [];
        if (get_the_tags($p->ID)) {
            foreach ((get_the_tags($p->ID)) as $tag) {
                $keywords[] = strtolower($tag->name);
            }
            update_post_meta($p->ID, 'rank_math_focus_keyword', implode(", ", array_unique($keywords)));
        }
    }
}
add_action('init', 'update_focus_keywords');

You can copy and paste this code into your site using one of these methods: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/

We hope this helps and makes things clearer. If you have any questions or issues, please let us know. We are always happy to help.

Hello,

Thank you for getting back to us.

You can add a date query parameter to the get_posts function, like this:

/**
 * Function to automatically update the focus keyword of 2022  with the post tags
 */
function update_focus_keywords()
{
    $posts = get_posts(array(
        'posts_per_page' => 100,
        'post_type' => 'post', //replace post with the name of your post type
        'date_query' => array( //add this parameter to filter posts by date
            array(
                'year' => 2022, //only get posts from the year 2022
            ),
        ),
    ));
    foreach ($posts as $p) {
        $keywords = [];
        if (get_the_tags($p->ID)) {
            foreach ((get_the_tags($p->ID)) as $tag) {
                $keywords[] = strtolower($tag->name);
            }
            update_post_meta($p->ID, 'rank_math_focus_keyword', implode(", ", array_unique($keywords)));
        }
    }
}
add_action('init', 'update_focus_keywords');

This should update the focus keyword with the post tags only for posts created in the year 2022. Please try adding this code to your site and let us know if it fulfilled your requirement.

If you have any questions or issues, please let us know.
