 * Hi, I’m using kakilimafree template + All in one seo + WP ecommerce and I see
   that the theme does not generate the meta descriptions.
 * The header code is:
 * <title>
    <?php /* * Print the <title> tag based on what is being viewed. */ global
   $page, $paged; wp_title( ‘|’, true, ‘right’ );
 *  // Add the blog name.
    bloginfo( ‘name’ );
 *  // Add the blog description for the home/front page.
    $site_description = get_bloginfo(‘
   description’, ‘display’ ); if ( $site_description && ( is_home() || is_front_page()))
   echo ” | $site_description”;
 *  // Add a page number if necessary:
    if ( $paged >= 2 || $page >= 2 ) echo ‘ 
   | ‘ . sprintf( __( ‘Page %s’, ‘kelontong’ ), max( $paged, $page ) ); ?></title
   >
 * <?php wp_head(); ?>
 * etc etc
 * With this configuration and having the home set to a default page (product-page),
   it displays the meta title from Settings > General, and not from the All in One
   SEO config (which works for other sections). And shown no meta description anywhere
   in the site.
 * So I replaced the header code with:
 * <?php if ( is_front_page()) { ?><title>my title 3</title><?php }
    else { ?><title
   ><?php wp_title(‘ | ‘,true,’right’); ?><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></title><?php}?
   >
 * <?php if ( is_front_page()) { ?><meta name=”description” content=”my description
   3″><?php }
    else { } ?> The description hack is a copy of the title hack and 
   deleted text from “else” as I did not know what to put there 🙂
 * So with this hack everything seems to work just fine, meta title for home is “
   my title 3” and for elswhere in the page is the All in One SEO One. Meta description
   also shows up everywhere except for WP e-commerce product category.
 * So, it’s working but I know the description hack is not too good with that else
   which I did not know what to do. Can you please advise what would be the correct
   description hack in this case? Thanks.
