My Tag pages have no meta description... no clue why. Seems like everything uses the same header template. So category pages have a nice meta description based on the category description, as you would expect.
Where should i start hunting to figure out why this is missing on Tag Pages?
what code is generating the meta description?
build-in in header.php?
or plugin?
Good question... there is a header.php but I can't see the meta tags in there... maybe it's buried somewhere else, what's a good place to look? I have an SEO plugin, but it gives me no options for tag pages...weird.. any way to over-ride this kind of thing?
Okay ... I think all the meta stuff is generated buy this code:
<?php wp_head(); ?>
Is that a normal wordpress thing, or some custom stuff I need to dig for?
WordPress core does not generate any meta keyword or description tags. Most people use a plugin for these (although the occasional theme might also try to auto-generate them for you). So check in your plugins first. If you still come up empty-handed, check your theme.
