Is there a way to get and display the meta description in the top page loop?

    I’m trying to access metadata that is no longer working in the new version by referring to this topic
    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/certain-tag-of-description-isnt-renewed/

    Is there any way to get and display the meta description in the top page loop?
    If I do the following, the description of the top page will be displayed.

    if ( have_posts() ) {
  while ( have_posts() ) {
    the_post();
    $post_id = get_the_ID();
    $get_post = get_post($post_id);
    echo aioseo()->meta->description->getDescription($get_post);
  }
}

    I also looked at the functions for getDescription, but they don’t seem to take into account displaying it in the loop.

    Also

    echo aioseo()->meta->metaData->getMetaData($post)->description;

    it shows the description in unencoded form, such as #post_excerpt.
    How can I fix this?

    Hey @shimotomoki,

    Try this –

    echo aioseo()->meta->description->getPostDescription($get_post);

    Let me know if that works.

    Thanks for the reply！
    Then it’ll work in a loop!

    I just can’t get the empty or not empty condition to work anymore.

    //All in One SEO Pack 4.0 Before
if (!empty(get_post_meta($post->ID, '_aioseop_description', true))) {
  $meta_description = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_aioseop_description', true);
}

//All in One SEO 4.0 After
if (function_exists('aioseo')) {
  $aioseo_description = aioseo()->meta->metaData->getMetaData($post)->description;
  if(!empty($aioseo_description)) {
    $meta_description = $aioseo_description;
  }
}
echo $meta_description;

    The above code works fine.

    //All in One SEO 4.0
if (function_exists('aioseo')) {
  $post_id = get_the_ID();
  $get_post = get_post($post_id);
  $post_description = aioseo()->meta->description->getPostDescription($get_post);
  if (!empty($post_description)){
    $meta_description = $post_description;
  }
}
echo $meta_description;

    However, if you use getPostDescription, you won’t be able to determine if it’s empty or not.

    sorry
    I was able to solve it.

    //All in One SEO Pack 4.0 Before
if (!empty(get_post_meta($post->ID, '_aioseop_description', true))) {
  $meta_description = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_aioseop_description', true);
}
//All in One SEO 4.0 After
if (function_exists('aioseo')) {
  $aioseo_description = aioseo()->meta->metaData->getMetaData($post)->description;
  if(!empty($aioseo_description)) {
    $post_id = get_the_ID();
    $get_post = get_post($post_id);
    $meta_description = aioseo()->meta->description->getPostDescription($get_post);
  }
}
