Whoops, forgot to mark this as resolved.

Qurl,
Just wanted to say thanks. I have it working now.

Sorry, it is working OK. The meta descriptions I was seeing as the start of the page started off with:

property=”og:description” and not meta description, which is correctly using the excerpt. Sorry to have wasted your time. Damn Facebook adding that (I assume it’s Facebook).

Thanks for all your help.

I tried that already. It didn’t work either.

Yes I cleared the cache.

The site is juicing-for-health.net

In the titles section of the settings, I have added %%excerpt%% to the description box for posts. However, when I view the source code of the posts on my site, they are showing the meta description with the first bit of content on the site, not the excerpts I have written.

I use a W3 cache, and have purged the cache, but its still the first bit of content on the page that is being used, not the excerpts.
