Backlight 5 Home Page Meta Description MIA

Backlight 4, 5 & 6 Support
#1

The meta description is missing for any pages that are album based or have a slide show.

For example, for the Home page - I’ve cleared the template cache and made changes to the page copy that display in the browser when saved, but the meta tag for description remains blank.

I have tried using just one word to see if it’s a length issue and that makes no difference, and the same text is used in other pages on my site and the meta tag shows up without issue.

I also tried cloning the page and that didn’t result in any difference.

As to the albums, they are all based on the same Default Page template, so I’m not sure where to make any changes local to them (if possible).

Thanks in advance for your help!

try putting the description you want in the album description

That worked! Thanks!

I’m wondering if I missed something in the docs to explain that (nothing in the page suggests that’s the meta tag contents (like in the Page Copy header)?

Also - any way to make that template-able or a site-wide override?

Cheers!
