Meta Description doesnt appear in page?

[sitewonders +]

Hi all.

<meta name="Description" content="" />

Is as displayed in my homepage source code, however I DO have a meta description input in the admin area.

Any ideas?

Thanks

In layout.tpl find <meta name="Description" and post the rest of the code for us.
Cheers,

Looks to be missing an include to pull the desc from the admin area?

Not sure how that didn't make it into the template, you can replace that line in layout with the following:

<meta name="Description" content="{$sitedescription}" />

I'll be sure this bug gets fixed for next update. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
