Hello, I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’re facing with updating the meta description for your products in Rank Math. To add the word “photo of” to the beginning of the meta description for products belonging to categories 1665 and 4896, you can follow these steps:
- Navigate to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta → Products.
- Scroll down to the Single Product Description field and enter the following:
photo of %excerpt%
.
Here’s a visual guide to help you through the process:

Once you’ve added the description, remember to scroll down and click Save Changes.
I hope this helps! If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and bringing your concern to our attention.
You can use the following filter on your website and see if that works for you:
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/description', function( $description ) {
global $post;
if(is_product()) {
$term = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'product_cat' );
$term_id = wp_list_pluck($term, 'term_id');
$prduct_categories = array( '1665', '4896');
if(array_intersect($prduct_categories, $term_id)) {
return 'Photo of '.$description;
}
return $description;
}
});
Here’s how you can add filter/hook to your WordPress site: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/
