   Hi

   I am trying to set the decription meta tag for each page by adding in the wp_title as follows:

   <meta name="description" content="Continually updated to collate the latest <?php wp_title('',true,'right'); ?>news from across across the accountancy profession.">

   However, if the wp_title is "Contact" or "Link to Us" I would like it to be blank ie so that the the content reads "Continually updated to collate the latest news from across across the accountancy profession."

   Also, how do I get rid of the extra space which is inserted after wp_title as part of the seg?

   Many thanks
   Mark

   Try:
   

   <?php $insert = ' ';
   if( !is_page( 'Contact' ) && !is_page( 'Link to Us' ) ) $insert .= wp_title("",false);?>
   <meta name="description" content="Continually updated to collate the latest<?php echo $insert;?>news from across across the accountancy profession.">

   Thank you - that works for Contact and Link to Us.

   However, for a page where for example the wp_title is 'Tax' the following is produced:

   <meta name="description" content="Continually updated to collate the latest Taxnews from across across the accountancy profession.">

   There are 3 spaces before wp_title and none afterwards?

   Thanks

   if( !is_page( 'Contact' ) && !is_page( 'Link to Us' ) ) $insert .= wp_title("",false) . ' ';?>
   <meta name="description" content="Continually updated to collate the latest<?php echo $insert;?>news from across across the accountancy profession.">

   Thank you - that adds a space after the wp_title but there are still 3 spaces appearing before the title.

   Thanks

   I have reduced it to 2 spaces by changing

   <?php $insert = ' ';

   to

   <?php $insert = '';

   but this still leaves 2 spaces instead of one before the wp_title.

   Thanks
