article meta description

In the admin panel you can give a different meta description for every article. If I fill out this form I thought it would be have an output in the meta description of the website source code to guide the search engines. Unfortunately it dosn`t do that. It displayed always the description I`ve entered in the template. What is to do that I can use this feature?

Re: article meta description

Hi

You need to use txp:meta_description tag into your template using this code :

<txp:if_individual_article>
    <txp:meta_description format="" />
</txp:if_individual_article>

Look at the documentation : https://docs.textpattern.com/tags/meta_description

Cheers.

Re: article meta description

Thank you very much. With keywords it is similar. I could have guessed that there would be a tag for it.

Re: article meta description

I think that txp:meta_description is context-gnostic and txp:if_individual_article is not needed as the meta-description tag calls the relevant fields in sections and categories.
