This is my first question here, hope to be useful in future to someone. We work on a WordPress site now, and try to display meta description content generated by All In One Seo plugin outside the loop. It’s not a problem when it’s on page/post. The code that works for single is 

<?php $metadesc = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_aioseop_description', true);
if ($metadesc) {
echo $metadesc;
} else {
the_excerpt();
}
?>

Later on the other day I came with this solution 

<?php $mykey_values = get_post_custom_values('_aioseop_description'); 
foreach ( $mykey_values as $key => $value ) {
echo "$value"; 
 } ?>

I’m not sure if it’s good to use this one, the problem I have now is that I want to display exact number of symbols, not all the content.

    Well it was pretty lame question, but sometimes when you are stuck it’s hard to see simple things. This is my final code which do the work for me:

    <?php $mykey_values = get_post_custom_values('_aioseop_description');
foreach ( $mykey_values as $key => $value ) {
echo substr("$value",0 ,150); //This will display the first 150 symbols
} ?>
