Post Excerpt as Meta Description

  • Hi,


    Is there a way to add the blog post except as the meta description in the <head>. I've tried using the Open Graph tags but to no avail.


    PHP
    1. <meta name="description" content="<?php perch_blog_post_field(perch_get('s'), 'excerpt'); ?>" />

    This outputs the excerpt but includes the <p> tags around it.


    Thanks in advance.
