   My blog: Too Broke to Fix - WP 2.5.1 - Theme: MistyLook 3.6.1

   This is not a problem with posts but with pages.

   On the Write Page, the All-in-one-SEO keywords, description and title are always duplicated by Custom Fields. However, when you View Source on the web it is only the keywords that are listed twice. But the baffling thing is that not every page has duplicate keywords.

   What is irritating is that despite Update and Delete buttons for Custom Fields on pages, they can neither be updated nor deleted without first deleting the corresponding sections in All-in-One-SEO. Once those are removed, Custom Fields removes them too.

   This is obviously only a problem with pages.

   Does anyone know what the culprit is?

   Or how to eliminate Custom Fields from pages?

   Even better, does anyone know how to disable Custom Fields altogether?

   What you could do is make a custom field for keywords, then when you fill in your SEO fields, just tick the box that says "disable on this post" or whatever. Then put in your keywords manually.

   Thanks RoseCitySister, but it doesn't work. Without keywords listed in SEO, Custom Fields refuses to add a keyword field. "Disabling On Post" disables title, description and keywords.

   But I may have found the problem. In adding keywords in SEO, I occasionally left a space after each comma. Removing the space, the keywords are no longer duplicated. So that seems to be solved.

   However there is another weird problem. I use Tags for Technorati plugin. On a couple of pages (not posts) it has inserted keywords that are not listed anywhere. I have looked high and low and cannot fathom how it came up with these keywords. They are not the keywords listed in All-in-one-SEO Home Keywords. If you're interested, they appear as Technorati Tags in the page footer of this page. Other than here, they exist nowhere.

   Finally, I never use Custom Fields is why I was hoping someone could point me to the WordPress file where I could delete them. In fact MathewBo came up with a solution in this forum, which he said eliminated custom fields from his blog. But he must have an earlier version as the code in his and mine were slightly different. I nevertheless deleted the relevant block of code from my version, but nothing happened.
