Hello Ian,

The Automatically fill meta description is actually for viewing in the frontend. Once you have open to view an entry, Easyblog will check if this entry has a meta description. If doesn't has, Easyblog will automatically get the intro from the entry to be the meta description.

Hi Nick,

I don't understand. I have opened the individual blogs and the metadescription is empty. Does it not fill this with an automatic metadescription?

Thanks

Ian

Hello Ian,

the meta description will not show in the field when you open it. It will show when user view the page. while browser open up the page, Easyblog will check if you have put a meta description in the field or not. If not, it will automatically created for you.

This metadescrition does not show up on Google snippets either - we just get a generic description, which does not make sense. Do you know what part of Easyblog Google could be getting this from?

Thanks

Ian

Hello Ian,

The Meta description is generated in this file: ../components/com_easyblog/helpers/helper.php in line 3098. And if you are viewing the Page Source, this part is your Meta description: http://screen.stackideas.com/2014-11-10_1026.png . However, Can you provide us your backend and FTP access so we can have a better look on your issue here? Please advise.
