   Is there a way to display what is contained in the meta 'description' tag of my page?

   I thought since there is an option to display the page title:
   <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1> ...
   that you could do the same for the page description.

   Thanks,
   Will

   I'd recommend a meta tags or SEO plugin.

   I have an SEO plugin which enables you to change the meta page description. I want to DISPLAY it within the text of the page.

   For example:
   The meta description of this page is: <?php the_description(); ?>

   It depends how the meta description is generated. If it is in a custom field, then you could display the custom field.

   It is not a custom field.
   It's a standard meta 'description' created by the All-in-One-SEO-Pack plugin.
   I'm trying to use the meta 'description' within an H2 tag.

   You could try looking in the plugin code to find a function/variable that you could use.

   I found the answer on Darren Pangan's page:

   <?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'description', true) ?>
