5. Other Filters
Other customization options include:

- wpsseo_sitemap_{$post_type}s: Add dynamic URLs to your sitemap XML
Example Usage
To give you a practical example, let’s say you want to customize the meta description. You can use the wpsseo_meta_description
filter like this:
add_filter('wpsseo_meta_description', 'custom_meta_description');
function custom_meta_description($description) {
// Your custom logic here
return "This is my custom meta description.";
}
Adding Dynamic URLs to Your Sitemap
To add dynamic URLs to your sitemap, you can use the dynamic_sitemap_urls
filter. Add the following code to your theme’s functions.php
file or a custom plugin:
add_filter('wpsseo_sitemap_pages', function() {
return [
(object) ['url' => 'https://example.com/dynamic-page-1'],
(object) ['url' => 'https://example.com/dynamic-page-2'],
(object) ['url' => 'https://example.com/dynamic-page-3'],
// Add more dynamic URLs as needed
];
});
By adding this code to your theme’s functions.php
file or a custom plugin, you can change the meta description to your preferred text.
