The solution posted by Javier fixed the issue for me too. Thanks!

It would seem to be related to my theme. Thanks for the tips!

Not sure if you were looking for this for the same reason as I was, but I was having trouble with a Facebook Open Graph plugin not pulling in the description. Instead it was just pulling in the excerpt.

I got this to work by modifying /wp-content/plugins/seo-ultimate/modules/meta/meta-descriptions.php. I modified line 237 to read:

echo "\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"$desc\" />\n\t<meta property='og:description' content='$desc' />\n";

This adds in the Open Graph description meta tag. Then, I went into my plugin that was adding in the Open Graph code and commented out (//) the description section.

Initially I had tried to go the other way, but I couldn’t figure that out. Essentially, I think the problem is that a plugin can’t rewrite the excerpt because the_excerpt can’t be modified outside of the loop (I think). I’m not a coder by trade, so use at your own risk.

Also, when you update SEO Ultimate, this change will be overwritten and you’ll have to add it in by hand again. I would be very surprised if the guys over at SEO Design Solutions don’t already have this in the works.

Yeah, this is so not resolved…

Try adding {post} to the Meta Description Editor in the SEO Ultimate WP Interface. See the plugin documentation at /wp-content/plugins/seo-ultimate/modules/documentation.txt for more. Hope that helps!

I’m interested in this as well.

I had a similar problem, but instead of the tags not showing up, they were showing up in addition to my conditional hard-coded tags. I simply deleted my hard-coded meta tags. One potential issue could be conflicting SEO-related plugins? WP and SEO Ultimate all updated to the latest version?

Great! Much appreciated.
