Ok figured out my issue. I was using the meta description for the menu item. I deleted it from the menu item and added the meta description to the k2 category and then it displayed correctly for the root category then for the item.

Sooo very glad I found this topic!!! Saved me big time. Google does not like multiple descriptions being the same.

I would like to also remove the type=article as that is not always accurate. Hell, it would be awesome to be able to change it to the appropriate setting - example. If I write a recipe I want that type to be food. If I am writing a product sales page I want to make it product.

Good topic!
thanx all answer! ;)

So what? We have a BUG - big seo bug, about year!!! And no one fix???
