    Hello,
    For meta description I have the var %excerpt%, in some product page it’s more than 160 characters, so I want to limit it automatically to 160 characters.

    Is there something like limit(%excerpt%,160) ?
    I tried the Mac snippets thing but it doesn’t do anything on the meta description.

    regards

    Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out with your concern about limiting the meta description automatically to 160 characters when using the %excerpt% variable.

    To automatically limit the meta description to 160 characters when using the %excerpt% variable in Rank Math, you can follow these steps:

    1. Go to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Rank Math > Titles & Meta.
    2. In the Single Post Description section for posts or Single Page Description section for pages, select the %excerpt_only% variable.
    3. To ensure the meta description is limited to 160 characters, you can manually adjust the length of the excerpt in your post editor to meet this requirement.

    By setting the %excerpt_only% variable, Rank Math will strictly use the Post Excerpt you set for the post. If you do not set a Post Excerpt, Rank Math will not generate one from your content.

    If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, please feel free to reply to this ticket, and a human agent from our support team will assist you promptly.

    Kind regards
