    Dear RankMath,

    How to change the Yoast SEO Code in the Function to switch to Rankmath to get the Description.


    <?php
    add_shortcode('block_link', 'block_link');
    function block_link( $atts ) {
    global $post;
    $atts = shortcode_atts( [
    'id' => '',
    'slug' => '',
    'url' => ''
    ], $atts );

    /* If the ID wasn't passed we have to do a little more work
    * to figure it out
    */
    if ( empty( $atts[ 'id' ] ) ) {
    if ( ! empty( $atts[ 'slug' ] ) ) {
    $test_post = get_posts( [
    'name' => $atts[ 'slug' ],
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'numberposts' => 1,
    'post_type' => ['post', 'page']
    ] );
    $atts[ 'id' ] = ! empty( $test_post ) ? $test_post[ 0 ]->ID : 0;
    }
    else if ( ! empty( $atts[ 'url' ] ) ) {
    $atts[ 'id' ] = url_to_postid( $atts[ 'url' ] );
    }
    }

    /* If we can't find the post, just don't show anything except maybe some
    * comments if we're in debug mode.
    */
    if ( empty( $atts[ 'id' ] ) ) { return 'id is empty';
    return defined( 'WP_DEBUG' ) && true === WP_DEBUG ? '<-- Post not found for block link -->' : '';
    }

    /* Time to load the post and build the layout */
    $link_post = get_post( $atts[ 'id' ] );

    if ( empty( $link_post ) ) { die('no post by id');
    return defined( 'WP_DEBUG' ) && true === WP_DEBUG ? '<-- Could not find post by ID for block link -->' : '';
    }

    /* Start with the image if it exists */
    $image_url = get_the_post_thumbnail( $link_post, 'thumbnail' );

    if ( empty( $image_url ) ) {
    // Fallback to Yoast meta fields
    $yoast_url = get_metadata( $link_post->post_type, $link_post->ID, '_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-image', true );
    if ( empty( $yoast_url ) ) {

    $yoast_url = get_metadata( $link_post->post_type, $link_post->ID, '_yoast_wpseo_twitter-image', true );
    }

    $attachment_id = attachment_url_to_postid( $yoast_url );
    if ( $attachment_id ) {
    $yoast_url = wp_get_attachment_image( $attachment_id, 'thumbnail' );
    $image_url = $yoast_url;
    }
    }
    }

    /* Excerpt is next */
    $excerpt = has_excerpt( $link_post->ID ) ? get_the_excerpt( $link_post ) : '';

    if ( empty( $excerpt ) ) {
    $excerpt = get_metadata( $link_post->post_type, $link_post->ID, '_yoast_wpseo_metadesc', true );
    }
    if ( empty( $excerpt ) ) {
    $excerpt = get_metadata( $link_post->post_type, $link_post->ID, '_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-description', true );
    }
    if ( empty( $excerpt ) ) {
    $excerpt = get_metadata( $link_post->post_type, $link_post->ID, '_yoast_wpseo_twitter-description', true );
    }
    if ( empty( $excerpt ) ) {
    /* Just make sure it's a string */
    $excerpt = '';
    }

    /* And now, it's time to build the HTML */
    $permalink = get_permalink( $link_post );
    $html = '<div class="block-link">';
    if ( ! empty( $image_url ) ) {
    $html .= '';
    $html .= '<div class="link-image">' . $image_url . '</div>';
    $html .= '    ';
    }
    $html .= '<div class="link-text">';
    $html .= '';
    $html .= '<div class="link-hdr">' . get_the_title( $link_post ) . '</div>';
    $html .= '<div class="link-excerpt">' . $excerpt . '</div>';
    $html .= '    ';
    $html .= '</div>'; // .link-text
    $html .= '</div>'; // .block-link
    $html .= '';

    return $html;
    }
