Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to populate the meta description of their page using the header.php file

Solution:

To do this since you are not calling the shortcode in the post body, you will need to manually get the ID of the page.

Here is an example of how to do this.

global $post;
echo $post->ID;
 
<meta name="description" content="<?php echo types_render_field('description', array('ID' =>$post->ID)) ?>" />
