Meta-Description Length

  • How do you lengthen the meta-description tag? Mine is getting truncated at 150 characters. I’m using HeadSpace2.

    Thanks

    I have another blog and never set limits on lengths of the meta-description tag so I don’t know why this one is limiting it to 150 characters. This is my seo web development blog and as I enter posts WordPress says the limit is 250 characters, not 150.

    Actually a copy of your header.php file in the WordPress pastebin would be more useful to start with. You may also need to drop in a copy of functions.php depending upon the contents of header.php.

    Thanks for your help…

    header.php:

    functions.php:
    <?php

    if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) )
    register_sidebar(array(
    ‘name’=>’right-sidebar’,
    ‘before_widget’ => ‘<table width=”247″ border=”0″ cellspacing=”0″ cellpadding=”0″>’,
    ‘after_widget’ => ‘</div></td>
    </tr>
