@Sagive – the answer to your question was already answered in this post. I’m not sure what’s causing the validation error, but if it’s the presence of p tag in meta description, then that’s what this post is all about.

What if i want to do that in just one place ??

Lets say i need the meta description to be the excerpt?
that creates validation errors..

Hi Arnd! What version are you using? I just checked one of my blogs in 3.0.3 version and it’s working fine.

Tried it, the result:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function remove_filter() in /…/wp-includes/functions.php on line 9

Magic!

Worked straight away – and you can’t say that about every bit of WordPress advice!

I used it combined with a short string coded in header.php describing a site to make some description tags.

Thanks

@vitalous – you’re welcome. I’m not against anything being “forced” i.e., default setup as long as there is a way to change them.

@Suraj – I do not know of anyway to do that. You can remove the paragraph tag of all excerpt and then manually reinsert them on all the templates where you want them to have paragraph tags. If it’s just one particular page, you can use if function with reference to page IDs.

Thanks for the tip … one question .. what if i want to remove tag from only one page template for example ‘publication’ page. is there a way to do it?

It works! (I guess you knew that.)
Thanks much for this.
I wish WordPress was a little more liberal with the Template Tags. The force’p’ tags made the feature nearly unusable for me, as I need to disply tem ‘inline’ with surrounding content. The category descriptions can be real helpful when dealing with abbreviated and formal (longer) subject titles.
Thanks again.

There’s no need to link functions.php with index.php. The way WordPress works, they’re recognized as bundle.

I can’t understand though what you’re saying about the images. Maybe you can show us a link.
