Duplicated Meta Description

    Hello,

    So I went to this website: https://teslathemes.com/blog/how-to-optimize-your-wordpress-site-without-any-seo-plugins/ to get ideas on how to update my website’s meta descriptions without the use of an SEO plugin. Unfortunately I had to delete Yoast from wordpress as it caused my website to become vulnerable to malware and slow down all of my pages.

    So at that link above I added in some new codes to my header.php file and now when I run SEMRush’s site audit, it comes back as 69 pages of duplicate meta descriptions. Can someone see how I can edit this code so that those duplicates can disappear?

    <meta charset=”<?php bloginfo( ‘charset’ ); ?>”>
    <meta name=”viewport” content=”width=device-width, initial-scale=1″>
    <title><?php wp_title( ‘|’, true, ‘right’ ); ?></title>

    <title><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?><?php wp_title(); ?></title>
    <meta name=”description” content=”<?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?>” />

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    @protovest1 – You might look at removing one of the wp_title lines, I would suggest this one: <title><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?><?php wp_title(); ?></title>

    Thank you Edward. I re-ran my site audit and it’s still saying that it’s a duplicate 🙁

    I did try to download all-in-one-seo plugin but I don’t know how to use it for the meta description..
