I'm not sure that I am following your issues. Perhaps a link to your site might be helpful or a more detailed explanation.

If you are actually running 4.1, then I would highly recommend that you update to the latest version release V4.1.2. There are known bugs in 4.1 and 4.1.1 which have been resolved in the latest version.

There are two solutions. Firstly, don't enter a description in your admin control panel or secondly, you can need modify the appropriate template files. For example if you do not want the category description to appear under the link, you can remove this piece of code {$data[td].description} from your browse.tpl file.

ok that worked but it actually deletes the entire description meta tag....i actually want the meta tag there for search engine optimization purposes how can i make it not display under everything but still be there like any other regular website? and you can see it at Ultimate Auto List you can see the description under the where logo goes and click on FL in categories and under tampa youll see the description i put for tampa

OK, now I'm actually following what you are talking about.

To get rid of the description under the 68 classifieds open your layout.tpl file and around line 43 look for this and delete it or comment it out:

<p>{$template_description|default:'Your site description'}</p>

As far as the category descriptions go, then just don't make any descriptions. The purpose of the descriptions is to show what the category is, so if you don't want to show a description for the category leave it blank.

For the record though, the category description shows in two separate templates. They are the home.tpl and the browse.tpl files. it is the {$data[td].description}.

I think you are getting confused between text which is printed onto the screen and the description meta tag.

So no it doesn't. If you remove the code proposed in browse.tpl and in home.tpl (presuming you are showing categories on the home page) it will just not show the text under the category listings. This code has nothing to do with meta tags.

As Mike points out <p>{$template_description|default:'Your site description'}</p> this is printing onto your screen just under the logo. Just remove it if you do not want it to show. There is no effect either on meta tags.
