Multiple meta description tags

    I am being flagged for having multiple meta description tags on Ahrefs. I think my theme is generating a meta tag in addition to rankmath.

    How do I shut off the meta tag from rankmath so I don’t have duplicates?

    I looked all over the internet and nothing I have seen is working.

    Thanks

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

    I’ve checked your site, and Rank Math’s meta description is already removed from the source code of your pages.

    You can also verify that using these tools;
    https://heymeta.com
    https://rankmath.com/tools/meta-tag-analyzer/

    Hope that helps.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    I used the tools you shared and they are giving different answers. Shared with you a different URL. Run it through heymeta and rankmath tool and see.

    In my user interface I have the option to input meta tag for rankmath and at the bottom of page. If I leave the area blank it autogenerates a meta tag causing dupliates. I think my theme is auto generating a meta tag and rankmath is generating the other. Hopefully this makes sense.

    Thanks

    I should add this is causing duplicate meta tags on all pages of my website.

    Hello,

    We can confirm that there is still a duplicate meta description on the affected page.

    Please refer to the filter code below to complete remove Rank Math’s meta description from your website:

    add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/description', function( $description ) {
    	return false;
    });

    You may refer to this guide on how to add filters to your website: https://rankmath.com/kb/wordpress-hooks-actions-filters/

    Looking forward to helping you.
