2 meta descriptions

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with having two meta descriptions for your posts. This can often happen when both your theme and a plugin like Rank Math are trying to generate meta descriptions simultaneously.

To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:

1. Identify the Source of the Duplicate Meta Descriptions: Since you mentioned that the Hello theme is generating a meta description automatically, you will need to disable this feature. You can do this by adding a filter to your theme’s functions.php file to prevent the Hello theme from adding its own meta description.

   Here’s an example of how to do that:

   function remove_hello_elementor_description_meta_tag() {
      remove_action( 'wp_head', 'hello_elementor_add_description_meta_tag' );
   }
   add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'remove_hello_elementor_description_meta_tag' );

   This code snippet will stop the Hello theme from adding its own meta description.

2. Check Your Rank Math Settings: After disabling the theme’s meta description, ensure that you have set the meta descriptions correctly in Rank Math for each post. You can do this by editing each post and checking the Rank Math settings in the General Tab.

3. Clear Cache: If you are using any caching plugins, make sure to clear your cache after making these changes to see the updates reflected on your site.

4. Test Your Changes: After making these adjustments, run another SEO audit to confirm that only one meta description is being generated for each post.

If you continue to experience 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 this helps you resolve the issue!
