  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with multiple meta titles and descriptions in your SEO audit. It sounds like you’ve already done some thorough checks. Here are a few additional steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

    1. Check for Duplicate Meta Tags: Ensure that there are no duplicate meta tags being generated by your theme or any other plugins. You can refer to our guide on how to fix duplicate meta tags for more detailed instructions.

    2. Activate Your Theme and Plugins: If you haven’t already, try activating your theme from Appearance → Themes and check if the theme is adding duplicate meta tags. If the theme isn’t responsible, enable your plugins one by one until you find the plugin causing the issue. This way, you can identify the conflicting plugin/theme.
      Enable your plugins one by one

    3. Schema Settings: Make sure that the settings in Rank Math’s Schema tab for each post or page are correct. The Headline should show %seo_title% and the Description should show %seo_description%. This ensures that your SEO title and description set via Rank Math are used for structured data.

    4. View Page Source: Since you’ve mentioned that the page view source shows two similar meta descriptions, double-check that both are indeed coming from Rank Math. You can do this by right-clicking on your page and selecting View page source to see where each tag is being generated.
      Check the Title and Meta description set in the page's source code

    If after these checks you still encounter issues, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern, and we hope to help you resolve it soon!

    It looks like your RankMath plugin is adding duplicate meta tags, which can cause SEO issues. One way to resolve this is by checking RankMath’s settings to ensure it’s not adding the meta titles and descriptions twice. You can also try disabling the automatic meta description generation in RankMath and manually setting the meta descriptions. If that doesn’t work, clearing your cache or checking for conflicts with other plugins might help.

    In Rank Math SEO, under titles and meta, for both pages and post, I have set the following instructions: single page title: %seo_title%, single page description: %excerpt_only%, schema type: article, headline: %seo_title%, description: %seo_description%, page robot meta: off, link suggestion: on, link suggestion title: title, slacked enhanced sharing: on, add seo control: on, bulk editing: enable. see the issue is rank math is repeating the same meta title and description twice and even thrice which has been set manually. there is no similar plugin in the wordpress like rank math, even i also followed the rank math guide for multiple meta title and description but no use. please guide me.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting support.

    Please share a couple of the affected pages so that our team can check the source code and advise further.

    Looking forward to hearing back from you.

    Hello,

    I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    We checked both pages you shared and we can see multiple data being added to the page but it seems like that is being done because you are regenerating the entire HTML inside the div with a class of hfeed site and the ID of page.

    When that usually happens it’s because either the theme is importing the HTML from the page once again or you added the entire HTML in your page content while editing it.

    Our plugin attaches the data to the action wp_head so if that is called twice on the page it would explain the issue you are seeing.

    It’s important to note that it’s repeating not only the data from our plugin but all the data from the header file of your theme, even the custom CSS.

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.

    Hello,

    Since we did not hear back from you for 15 days, we are assuming that you found the solution. We are closing this support ticket.

    If you still need assistance or any other help, please feel free to open a new support ticket, and we will be more than happy to assist.

    Thank you.
