I have just been wasting my morning by messing around with some Wordpress plugins. I have installed a bunch of them previously but never really got round to going through them set it all up properly.
I just installed the Platinum SEO Plugin and changed my meta description. Normally I am just bone idle and would leave it at that but I thought I would check to see if it was working properly so I viewed the page source and low and behold I had 3 bloody meta descriptions.
The first was from the header.php in my theme.
The second was from the Meta Tags plugin.
And the last was from the Platinum SEO Plugin.
This is clearly not going to be a shock to a regular WordPress user but it goes to show you shouldn’t be lazy and assume everything is working fine when you make a change to any of your settings.
I know it is not exactly a huge issue but how does Google actually treat multiple descriptions? Does it just look at the first?
