Hi. Your post was a bit alerting as I thought the plugin might have a major bug, which does not seem to be the case.
Any metatags found outside of code blocks that are marked with…
<!-- BEGIN Metadata added by Add-Meta-Tags WordPress plugin -->
...
<!-- END Metadata added by Add-Meta-Tags WordPress plugin -->
…have not been added by Add-Meta-Tags. Please check other plugins you use.
Also, there is no valid meta tag name such as title. The title is added in the HTML code like this:
<title>Multiple Paragraph Page | WordPress Test Blog</title>
Also, I assume you use two plugins to print the same kind of metadata, facebook meta tags in this case.
If there is anything I misunderstood, please provide step-by-step instructions so I can reproduce the problem.
I’m marking this as resolved until I receive further feedback from you.

No that’s not true and it does have a major bug, you’re just denying it and not testing it like I did. I tested the plugin using the steps already provided and checked the result in the source code. As shown above, the title from the plugin entered within the page was going into the description. I just advise everyone NOT use this plugin, because it requires hacks to actually work properly. Giving it a 1 star rating until you acknowledge, actually test, and fix this bug. I hate repeating myself and waiting two days for it to be fixed.
Dude, please stop acting like a 5 year old kid. Collaborate! I am not your fking employee. This is developed and maintained in my free time, so you you will have to wait as long as required. In case of emergency, please consider hiring someone to sort things out for you.
I’m not denying anything. I tested the plugin and could not reproduce the problem. I asked for step-by-step instructions in order to reproduce the problem, so I can fix it. I cannot fix it, if I am unable to reproduce it!
During the next 48hrs I won’t be replying due to other obligations. Please provide useful feedback.

I will respond to you like a child then so you can understand how your plugin works, I mean doesn’t work.
Either collaborate in order to sort this out or stop using the plugin.
I recommend deactivating all plugins that interfere with post title manipulation and Opengraph metadata generation. Also make sure caching plugins (or caching at the web server level) are deactivated as well and your browser cache is cleared before each test.
Also keep in mind I’m having a very hard time working with you until your ridiculous review is deleted/edited.
A few more remarks on your original feedback.
<meta name="description" content="TITLE | " /> Prob should be Title not description
This meta tag is not added by Add-Meta-Tags, so look elsewhere for support.
<!-- BEGIN Metadata added by Add-Meta-Tags WordPress plugin -->
<meta name="description" content="DESCRIPTION" /> dupe of above
This is not a dupe of anything. It is generated by Add-Meta-Tags and contains the post/page/custom_post_type description, which might be either auto-generated or customized by the user. Add-Meta-Tags is designed to do exactly this. Other plugins adding the same metatags is a problem the website administrator should resolve.
I’m not going to waste more time with this report, unless you provide detailed feedback with step-by-step instructions about how to reproduce the issue in a fresh WordPress installation.

Keep in mind I’m having a difficult time working with you too considering this bug wasted 2 hours of my time the other day, you took 2 days to reply, and have wasted an additional hour of my time tonight before even attempting to look into my original report, still with no fix (yet asking for the review to be deleted when it’s still buggy?), and conveniently blaming me and other plugins rather than taking responsibility and checking out what I already explained, when all the info you needed was in my first post.
Here’s an expanded set of instructions even a child could follow:
Step 1. Login to a WordPress website at domain.com/wp-admin
Step 2. Ensure the plugin “Add Meta Tags” is installed and activated on the Plugins page
Step 3. Settings > Metadata > check the box for “Automatically generate Opengraph meta tags for content, attachments and archives. For more information, please refer to the Opengraph specification.” then scroll to the bottom of the page and click the blue Save changes button.
Step 4. Visit Pages > Click Edit on any Page > View Page in new tab > View Source > See current meta description
Step 5. Scroll to the bottom > Under Metadata > Enter a Title (for this example, I used METADATA TITLE) > Update. Screenshot: http://awesomescreenshot.com/0b63ziqj2b
Step 6. Go back to the View Source tab, refresh, see Title in the meta description content area, such as this: <meta name="description" content="METADATA TITLE | " />
Upon further investigation, I could not replicate it on another site, so it’s possible it’s a flaw with the theme itself, of which there are other known flaws such as the CSS eats itself (it literally disappears), so based on that possibility, I’ll remove the 1-star review.
You have wasted my free time with something that apparently is not related to Add-Meta-Tags output! You have abused the review system on these boards in order to force me to fix a non-existent problem!

Huh? You didn’t even bother to investigate my original post or the steps I provided, “apparently”, before more blame shifting. The proper thing to do would have been to investigate the bug report from the start, then try the steps I provided after you complained for more clarity, and now you jump to more anger, when we still don’t know for certain whether it’s the plugin or the theme. All the while, you’re wasting my time, when this should have taken you less than 5 minutes to investigate.
I told you many times I investigated the issue as soon as I read your original feedback! Your inability to accept an answer you do not like is not my problem.
<meta name="description" content="METADATA TITLE | " />
This is not generated by this plugin. Look elsewhere for support.
Do not rate the plugin based on your assumption that the above meta tag is a problem caused by Add-Meta-Tags, because you are making mistakes that are difficult to undo.

Yet somehow when I make changes using your plugin and check View Source, it affects the meta description content…
when I make changes
Do you consider this a useful piece of information?
I’m going to write it for the last time.
If the problematic description meta tag exists outside of the following block in the HTML source code…
<!-- BEGIN Metadata added by Add-Meta-Tags WordPress plugin -->
...
<!-- END Metadata added by Add-Meta-Tags WordPress plugin -->
… then it is not generated by Add-Meta-Tags.
Look elsewhere for support. As you can see in these boards I usually (if I have enough spare time) help people to resolve issues even in cases that those issues are not directly related to the plugin. But, abusing the review system by rating the plugin for things that do not make sense (non existent bug, support delay) is a behavior I cannot tolerate!
This plugin is apparently not for you. Please use another one.
