I currently add a custom description to every page/post that I create on my main site. The plugin is doing a good job at that.
I'm trying to find out, however, how I can pull the data from wherever the plugin stores the Description and display it as content in the theme. You may as why I want to do so and here is the answer…
…I would like to have the description displayed by The Loop on my tags pages and category pages. My tags pages are being indexed, so I'd like to give them something more to index than the link to the post. I also would prefer not to use either the_excerpt() or the_content() to pull the actual post content…I want something slightly different and as I write the descriptions slightly different than the content, it would serve nicely.
So again…to summarize…how I do call the data that All-In-One SEO stores for the Description into The Loop to be displayed as text by the theme?
