Shorten Meta Description

Hi,

For the product meta description tag, I'm using the following in my View <head> Elements:

<meta name="description" content="[product.description]" />

However, my meta description is then way too long. Is there a way to update the code so that the meta description is capped at, say, 200 characters?

Hi

Yes, this is possible.

Change this:

HTML Code:

<meta name="description" content="[product.description]" />

To this:

HTML Code:

<meta name="description" content="<?php echo substr(strip_tags($product->description), 0, 200); ?>" />
