How do I retrieve the meta info in a template?

    I’ve added the plugin, and successfully added meta description and keywords to my pages that appears just fine in the front-end source. I’m now trying to retrieve the description to appear in the search results, and I’m getting nada.

    This is my code so far:

    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="text-wrap">
<h4><?php the_title(); ?></h4>
<p>
<?php 
$meta_print_value=get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'description',true);
echo $meta_print_value;
?></p>
</a>

    But all it’s returning is the title, no description.

    I’ve dug in further, and retrieved this array:

    Array
  (
    [mtm_data] => Array
      (
        [0] => a:2:
          {
            i:0;
            a:4:
              {
                s:9:"reference";
		s:0:"";
		s:4:"type";
		s:4:"name";
		s:5:"value";
		s:11:"description";
		s:7:"content";
		s:61:"my description text";
	  }
	 i:1;
	 a:4:
	   {
	     s:9:"reference";
		 s:0:"";
		 s:4:"type";
		 s:4:"name";
		 s:5:"value";
		 s:8:"keywords";
		 s:7:"content";
		 s:91:"my keywords text";
	    }
	  }
    )
  )

    I can get to the mtm_data array, but I still can’t retrieve the description text. This is my latest try:

    $meta_print_value=get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'mtm_data',true);
echo $meta_print_value[0][1][7];

    It returns nothing. But, when I just echo “$meta_print_value;” it prints “Array”, so at least I know I’m in the right neighborhood.

    I’d suggest you check out the file meta-tag-manager.php

    The main function you want are:

    Meta_Tag_Manager::get_data(); //all global tags
Meta_Tag_Manager::get_post_data($post_id); //specific post tags

    They both return arrays of MTM_Tag objects.

    Got it!

    echo $meta_tags[0]->content;

    Thanks!
