Custom fields

Hi @drscoot,

I’m not quite sure what you wish to achieve, but there’s post type support registered as: autodescription-meta. See this thread.

The SEO Framework outputs its own custom meta fields for you to fill in and/or overwrite.
If you wish more dedicated support, let me know!

Thanks for the fast respons.
I like to use the plugin with this: custom fields

Hi @drscoot,

That would be (in the way they set up the table):

Title:			'_genesis_title'         => ''/titlevalue,
Description:		'_genesis_description'   => ''/descriptionvalue,
Canonical URL:		'_genesis_canonical_uri' => ''/urlvalue,
Redirect URL:		'redirect'               => ''/urlvalue,
Noindex:		'_genesis_noindex'       => 0/1,
Nofollow:		'_genesis_nofollow'      => 0/1,
Noarchive:		'_genesis_noarchive'     => 0/1,
Search Exclusion:	'exclude_local_search'   => 0/1,

I hope this helps ??

Yes these look like it:
I had a try with Custom field Meta Key: _genesis_description and Meta value=’the site description….’
but when I look in the source of the generated page I see meta name=”description” with content= the page Excerpt.
It looks in my combination with Divi theme, that the description is already been taken care of, based on the Excerpt. And that custom fields are not needed/working?
Or maybe I understood that wrong?

Hi @drscoot,

When the description is generated, it will always look for that metadata first, before falling back to the excerpt, and then the post content (if you use Divi Builder then the latter will return empty).

Perhaps, by any chance, are you using object caching? If so, be sure to clear that ??
If that doesn’t help, I’ll take another look at why this is happening. Cheers!

I have no caching plug installed.
I upgraded from WP 4.6 to 4.7, tried again and now it works fine! Not 100% sure the upgrade did the trick or I didn’t try correct earlier.
Yes, I use the Divi Builder.
So that is solved then, much appreciate the ultrafast support. Thanks!

Hi @drscoot,

That’s good to hear! Maybe Divi or Page Generator Pro has done something in particular for WP 4.7? Who knows ??
