XF 2.2 Is there a way to hide the "Description" in a page node but still have it be a meta description?

[cdub]

I'm using a page node as a portal and I'd like to have a custom meta description without it printing the description on the page. I'm already using <xf:title></xf:title> to use the Board Title for the title and not the page node title.

When I enter a description in the description field of the page node it shows up as the meta description but also gets printed on the page. I'd like it to be hidden like I can hide the h1.

Can you not use simple CSS to display:none on the description?

How are you adding the custom meta text?

Meta content doesn't normally render visibly.

It's the description field in the page node creation and edit page.

In that case as @James posted, hide it using:

[data-container-key="node-3"]
{
    .p-description
    {
        display: none;
    }
}

Change the node ID to suit.

Wait maybe it didn't. That's odd. I don't see it when I'm logged out but when I'm logged in I do.

Do you by chance have it "wrapped" in any specific user group settings?

Nope. I thought it was a cache thing for a second because on desktop I had to shift reload for it to go away.

Now browsing on my phone I see it when logged in but not when logged out.

Here's what I have: (there's only one style so far)

It's not possible for that code to differentiate between logged out and logged in.

It affects the template regardless.

Yeah I know... Which is why I'm pulling my hair out. Must be a chrome cache thing. I'm going to delete cache.

Clearing cookies and site data did nothing. Not logged in it's not there. Logged in it is.

Check ALL your templates (via advanced template search) for the string with your "node-8" listing.. you may find you have it listed in more than one place.

Resaved the page node template without making any changes and now it works as it should. Go figure!

Thanks for the tip!
