Generating a meta description from a custom field

Hello!

I just created a new up-to-date snippet for exactly your use case: https://gist.github.com/sybrew/6fac62935cc66f2f027ae4b251c58bc0.

It contains two versions: One that extracts HTML and one that takes the text as-is.

(Where do I place filters?)

I hope this helps!

Excellent 🙂

Please note that TSF automatically calculates the cutoff right after this filter runs — it supports any language, doesn’t randomly cut off words, and is faster than anything out there; it’s the pinnacle of this plugin once called “autodescription.”

It’s best not to add any custom “character cutoff.”
