• Hi all, I am using WordPress 4.9.4 with the default “Twenty Seventeen” theme. It’s not a complex website or anything. I keep it up to date, and just do Blog Posts from time to time Not “Pages”, but “Posts”), and I would like to be able to define a “Meta Description” on each and every individual Blog “Post”. What is the most basic and free, and easy-to-install-and-use, plugin someone could recommend for that?

    I have installed it and activated it into my WordPress. Do I need to go through its “Yoast SEO for WordPress installation wizard” in order to define Meta Description for an individual post?

    Before I have done the wizard, I went to my individual “Edit Post” itself, scrolled down to where it seems to be the Yoast plugin stuff, clicked “Edit snippet”, and it then seemed to expand out a new field called “Meta description”, where I went ahead and put in what I wanted the description to be, and then clicked “Update” on the WordPress blog Post.

    Now, when I open the live website, and look at the page source, it is giving me a line of code, saying

    <meta name="description" content="the words I want are here"/>

    Should I take that to mean it is done? That my Blog Post now has its own Meta description that I wanted it to be?
