Juliepr HTML Descriptions

A lightweight WordPress plugin that adds an HTML meta description field to posts and pages.

Behaviour

• The field is shown in the HTML description meta box below the editor.
• Values are stored as post meta under _genesis_description for compatibility with The SEO Framework plugin data.
• A non-empty value is printed in wp_head on public single posts and pages.
• Network activation is supported; WordPress post meta is scoped to each multisite blog.
• English is the source language and Russian translations are included in languages/ in WordPress's PHP translation format (supported by the declared WordPress 6.5 minimum).

Development

The plugin has no build step or production dependency. Run these checks in a WordPress/PHP environment before release:

php -l juliepr-html-descriptions.php
php -l uninstall.php
wp i18n make-pot . languages/juliepr-html-descriptions.pot --domain=juliepr-html-descriptions
wp i18n make-mo languages/juliepr-html-descriptions-ru_RU.po languages/juliepr-html-descriptions-ru_RU.mo

Manually test an administrator and an author who can edit a post, save an empty and a non-empty description, and verify page source on both a normal site and a network subsite.
