    Hello Rank Math SEO team. For a long time, I have been using HTML tags for SEO in the category descriptions of my WooCommerce products, and today, when I looked at the source code of the product category page, the 300-word article I wrote appeared in the description section with HTML tags.

    I have allowed the use of HTML in product category descriptions. In this way, whatever I enter in that section appears as an article under my product category page.

    How can I get them removed this way?

    How can I do this with the functions.php file?

    add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/url', function( $output, $url ) {
    	$lang   = '<xhtml:link rel="alternate" hreflang="de-ch" href="' . htmlspecialchars( $url['loc'] ) . '" />';
    	$lang   = str_repeat( "\t", 1 ) . $lang . "\n";
    	$output = str_replace( '</url>', $lang . '</url>', $output );

    	return $output;
    }, 10, 2 );

    I want the length of product category descriptions to be 150 characters and the html characters to be deleted.

    Hello @traquila,
     
    Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.
     
    You can use this filter to register a new variable to get a long description of your product category, removing all the HTML tags and limiting the words to 150:
     
    add_action( 'rank_math/vars/register_extra_replacements', function() {
    rank_math_register_var_replacement(
    'woo_full_desc',
    [
    'name' => esc_html__( 'Woo Full Desc.', 'rank-math' ),
    'description' => esc_html__( 'Woo Full Description…', 'rank-math' ),
    'variable' => 'woo_full_desc',
    'example' => woo_full_desc_callback(),
    ],
    'woo_full_desc_callback'
    );
    } );
     
    function woo_full_desc_callback() {
    global $post;
    if ( empty( $post ) ) {
    return 'Product Description';
    }
    return mb_strimwidth( wp_strip_all_tags( $post->post_content ), 150, '…', 'UTF-8' );
    }
     
    Once done, you can use the %woo_full_desc% variable in the SEO description field.
     
    Here’s how you can add a filter/hook to your WordPress site:

    Hope that helps.

    You are truly amazing. You’ve given me another reason to recommend the Rankmath plugin to my clients.

    The 150 character limit gave me an error, but I solved it with such a code correction.

    function woo_full_desc_callback() {
        global $post;

        
        if ( empty( $post ) ) {
            return 'Product Description';
        }

       
        $full_description = get_the_content( null, false, $post );

        
        $short_description = mb_substr( $full_description, 0, 150, 'UTF-8' ) . '…';

        return $short_description;
    }

    How can I print the description of the relevant category here?

    This shows the description of the first product in that category

    Hello @traquila,

    The filter we shared before was to create a variable to get the product description. Please replace it with the following filter:

    add_action('rank_math/vars/register_extra_replacements', function () {
        rank_math_register_var_replacement(
            'term_desc',
            [
                'name'        => esc_html__('Term description', 'rank-math'),
                'description' => esc_html__('Description of current term', 'rank-math'),
                'variable'    => 'term_desc',
                'example'     => term_desc_callback(),
            ],
            'term_desc_callback'
        );
    });
    function term_desc_callback()
    {
        $term = get_queried_object_id();
    	$desc = term_description($term);
        return mb_substr( $desc, 0, 150, 'UTF-8' ) . '…';
    }

    Once done, you can use the %term_desc% variable to get the correct description.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
