How to get Pods Content recognized as WP Post Content

Hi,

you will have to use this filter to add your custom fields created with PODS: https://www.seopress.org/support/hooks/filter-the-analyzed-content/

Hope that helps!

Hi @taylorthain

This is a quite difficult issue since each SEO plugin works differently and usually doesn’t check the front-end but only the admin edit page.

I’m not familiar with SEOpress so I’m not sure but the suggestion from @rainbowgeek would probably be best in this case!

Cheers, Jory

Hey Team! Thanks for the replies. The suggested fix from @rainbowgeek was the right direction. I actually managed to find it myself a couple hours before this reply.

That said, for anyone else who has a similar issue or is looking to solve this problem, the hook that was provided from the SEOpress documentation has a limitation that I didn’t like, in that it required me to specify every individual content field from the custom post type if i wanted it included in the analysis. This didn’t work for me as my post type has a multitude of content blocks in the editor.

To solve for this, I edited the code. The following code will check if a post type is the PODs custom post type and then retrieve ALL Meta fields for the post type and make it readable to the plugin.

Just swap out ‘your_custom_post’ with the name of your post from Pods and throw this in your functions document and that content should now be visible to the Analysis Metabox!

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wpbf_child_scripts', 13 );
// SEOpress Content Analysis Expansion - Your Custom Post Type
function sp_content_analysis_content($content, $id) {
    // Check if the post type is 'your_custom_post'
    $post_type = get_post_type($id);
    if ($post_type === 'your_custom_post') {
        // Retrieve all meta fields for the post
        $meta_fields = get_post_meta($id);

        // Append the field values to the original content
        foreach ($meta_fields as $key => $value) {
            $content .= $value[0];
        }
    }

    return $content;
}
add_filter('seopress_content_analysis_content', 'sp_content_analysis_content', 10, 2);
