Post description comments disappear All in One SEO Pack Troubleshooting Forum

Hi, I am using ALL in One SEO pack on a WordPress site with The Restaurant theme. The menu card is built using the theme functions along with WordPress menus. Twice when I changed something in ALL in One SEO I got a message that so many items needed to be updated. Well, the number of items happen to correspond with the number of posts/menu items, and when I click to update All in One SEO my menu descriptions disappear. The post titles, prices and meta data is still there, but All in One SEO is stripping the descriptions.

On the theme's discussion forum a user posted this:

"A word of warning to those of you who are using or planning on using the All in One SEO plugin in conjunction with this theme.

Be Warned: It appears that when updating the meta information for the plugin (which it asks to do every time you make a change in any description field), It removes the content from the theme’s description field and places it into its own and in effect removes all menu item descriptions from appearing on the menucard. So use at your own risk."

Do you have any suggestions? Rebuilding a 150 plus item/post restaurant menu from scratch everytime I update All in One SEO is a pain, but I like this plugin better than others and want to keep on using it.

Nope, it's a new All in One SEO install. Downloaded from Wordpress plugins about 2 or 3 weeks ago. I'm using version WP 3.0. and PHP is 5.2 something.

When it's strips the descriptions in the posts it moves them to the All in One SEO meta description section on the Edit Post page, pics and all. It doesn't touch the other post content, only the descriptions for the menucard. I'm guessing that it is the term "description." I've use All in One SEO on several sites and have never had a problem before. Of course, the menus option in Wordpress is a pretty new feature, and I haven't used it before. I saw on one site where a gentleman had a fix for the problem that involved changing terms in the database (change the term: description to something else) and some other complicated steps, but I'm not really up to rewiring the site.

What data exactly is it storing as "description"?

I'm using WordPress menus to add descriptions to a menucard for The Restaurant theme (Red Factory). This will explain it better than me.
