Long Meta Titles on Dynamic Pages
-
What to do with long meta titles on press release pages. Unlike other pages on the site, press release pages have no physical value and are dynamically created picking data from the database. Such pages i notice are automatically picking the URL/H1 as meta title and meta description. How to shorten such meta titles and descriptions?
Do such errors (related to dynamically created pages) matter?

It would be ideal to have the first paragraph of the press release as the meta description, as this is usually a summary or outline of the news being announced.
You'd then have to truncate that to approx 140 characters to fit inside a Google result.
How that is implemented depends on the type of site you have, what you are running on etc.
