How to auto add focus keywords of all posts for only First 2 words.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us and bringing your concern to our attention.

You can try to add the following filter on your website to add only first two keywords of your title as your focus keyword:

/**
 * Function to automatically update the focus keyword with the first two words of the post title
 */
function update_focus_keywords()
{
    $posts = get_posts(array(
        'posts_per_page' => -1,
        'post_type' => 'post' //replace post with the name of your post type
    ));
    foreach ($posts as $p) {
        $title = strtolower(get_the_title($p->ID));
        $words = explode(' ', $title);
        $focus_keyword = $words[0];
        if (count($words) > 1) {
            $focus_keyword .= ' ' . $words[1];
        }
        update_post_meta($p->ID, 'rank_math_focus_keyword', $focus_keyword);
    }
}
add_action('init', 'update_focus_keywords');

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out.

We might not be able to apply a custom code to your site on your behalf, but if you grant us access to your site with FTP, then we might be able to do a local test on your site and provide you with detailed steps to take to do this yourself.

To provide us access to your website please follow these steps:

• Edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress and FTP logins in the Sensitive Data section. This is a secure section that only our support staff can access (Screenshot: https://i.rankmath.com/i/nfvfTa).
• Make sure you take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.
• If you prefer, you can use this plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead: https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/
• You can also use this plugin to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any): https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/

We appreciate your cooperation and patience. Thank you for choosing Rank Math.
