 * I am using the following php code for my meta descriptions and it seems to be
   working ok except I added a manual excerpt for one of my posts and for that post
   the meta description is still a dynamically generated excerpt.
 *     ```
       <?php if (is_single()) : if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
               <meta name="description" content="<?php the_excerpt(); ?>" />
               <?php endwhile; endif; elseif(is_home()) : ?>
               <meta name="description" content="my meta description for my home page here" />
               <?php endif; ?>
       ```
