Hello,

it appears sh404sef currently restricts the maximum number of characters in the meta description to 255 characters.
Since recently Google supports longer meta descriptions up to 360 characters. Is it possible to change that length limit?

Best regards,
Peter Sedlmeier

Hi

This will be changed in next release. There is no rush, as they have stated the added length will be most often automatically generated from the page and the search query.
Please also keep in mind that other search engines have not yet announced such changes, and description should still be around 160 chars.
