meta_description is not showing on a page

Hello,
I have this in my meta form,
<txp:meta_description format=“meta” />
This shows the description on the page header when I click view on articles (view function on admin side) page.
when close the browser, and click on the same section to the page , there is no meta description.

any idea, I’m using latest version.
Thank you

Re: meta_description is not showing on a page

Just a guess: txp:meta_description responds to context, so it will output:

• On a domain.com page: the Description field of the Default section
• On a domain.com/section/ page: the Description field of the relevant section
• On a domain.com/category/category-name page: the Description field of the relevant category
• On a domain.com/section/article-name the Description field of the relevant article

Could it be that on your second attempt, you’re not looking at the same page?

BTW, as format="meta" is the default, you can just use:

<txp:meta_description />
