I have these errors for all the my posts : Duplicate meta name=”description”.
One is generated by Yoast SEO plugin and another is generated by template. How can I stop template to stop generating meta?

Hi,

From what I can tell from inspecting your website source, one instance of the meta description is added by the Yoast SEO plugin

The other meta description is added by a plugin
https://www.screencast.com/t/UetTt5f6P
That plugin is adding other meta tags as well

Hi,

What I investigate after your response is that another meta description is created by jetpack plugin. I disabled jetpack and the duplicate meta is gone.

though I want to use jetpack for it’s other benefits. I found no settings within jetpack to disable meta.

Is there anything you can help me with this please.

Thanks
Best regards

Hi,

I found this information about disabling the Jetpack meta tags, that could be useful in this regard

Hi,

Thanks for your help.

I tried this, but seems not worked. it’s generating a meta name=”description” which is something different than open graph meta tags. I guess.

I wonder lot of people use Yoast SEO and jetpack plugin together. none of had this kind of issue.

I highly appreciate if someone can help me in this.

Thanks
Best Regards

Hi,

Maybe try and clear your cache after deactivating that option from Jetpack. If that did not work, I could not say how exactly to remove that meta. You need to be absolutely sure that Jetpack is adding that description, and not other plugins. Then try asking for help on other more specialized forums, hopefully you can find a solution.
Or maybe some other users can share some insight.

Thanks
