Customize Meta Description Length surerank_description_length

Hook: surerank_description_length

Description: This filter allows you to customize the maximum length (in characters) of the meta description generated by SureRank. By default, SureRank limits the meta description to a standard length, but you can override it to better suit your SEO strategy or content type.

Source: inc/functions/defaults.php

Accepted Value: int — Desired maximum length of the meta description in characters.

Example:

// Change the maximum meta description length in SureRank (default is 155)
add_filter( 'surerank_description_length', function() {
    return 160; // Sets the max meta description length to 160 characters
});

// Change the maximum meta description length in SureRank (default is 155)
add_filter( 'surerank_description_length', function() {
    return 160; // Sets the max meta description length to 160 characters
});

You can add the example code to your child theme’s functions.php file or use a plugin like Code Snippets to safely insert custom code. Using a code snippet plugin is recommended for easier management and to ensure the code remains active even if you switch themes.
