In a custom WordPress page template, what PHP code can add meta description in the '<head>' section of all pages which are based on that template?

Add this to the template or, if you want it on all pages on the site, add it to functions.php

<?php  
function rivendellweb_add_to_head(){ 
?> 
<meta name="description"  
content="This is an example of a meta description.  
This will often show up in search results."> 
<?php 
}; 
 
add_action('wp_head', 'rivendellweb_add_to_head'); 
?> 
You may have to play with the opening and closing PHP tags to match your existing ones. The advantage of this is that you can add meta tags and other elements.

If you use an SEO plugin this may not be necessary
