I found on the net some interesting discussions about how add the meta tag description for categories ( the plugin i use for SEO do not permit to add it)
So i try to apply what read on the discussione and i add to
<head> section of header.php file of my theme the following code:
<meta name="description" content="<?php if ( is_category() ) { echo category_description(); } ?>"/>
but in this way even categories have their own meta description, the pages and posts meta description is lost.
So who could help me in create a code that permit to add mata descrption to categories and left the existing descriptions of posts and pages
Thanks
try to make the whole thing conditional;
change from:
<meta name="description" content="<?php if ( is_category() ) { echo category_description(); } ?>"/>
to:
<?php if ( is_category() ) { ?>
<meta name="description" content="<?php echo category_description(); ?> "/>
<?php } ?>
Hi alchymith,
as i'm adding your code i think that it was a great idea, and that the results:
it works!
The former code do not clear the meta description existing but added
<meta name="description" content="">
in case of poste and pages before the existing one so no description was added.
Many thanks :-))
you are welcome ;-)
if this is all working, please mark this thread as 'resolved'
Sure i was waiting for an answer.
Cheers
