Paginated routes (index.hbs, author.hbs, tag.hbs) do not display the meta description. #20486

Open cathysarisky opened 2 days ago

Issue Summary

While the first page created by index.hbs/author.hbs/tag.hbs has the correct <meta name="description" content="some description text">, that meta tag is entirely missing from /page/2 and beyond.

Steps to Reproduce

Create enough of a single tag, enough posts by a single author, or enough posts on a route that uses index.hbs. Inspect the meta tags that result from /page/2.

Yes, this is a problem even for infinite scroll themes, since search engines still retrieve the later pages. (Or at least, we hope they do.)
