I would like to alter the default custom post description–the meta description used to determine the text used under the title on Search Engine results pages.
Where would I alter this? By default, I want it to get the category and the author, so that the results are something like Art by John Doe.
How can I code this, and where would I put the code? I assume it would involve the get_the_category() function and the by: <?php the_author_link()
But I’m not a coder, so your help would be appreciated. Thank you.
