* Hi,
* I don’t manage to change the meta description of my website. I read a lot about
that but nothing helped me. Could you please precisely tell me where I can find
the meta description in WordPress version 3.7?
* Thanks!!
Marie

* Hi,
* Meta description is always in header – header.php in your template.But if you
add in your head it will be same in all yor page. If you like manage meta
on your wordpress website install yoast widget then you can change all meta –
title, description on each page
* Best Regards
Michal

* Well thank you very much Michal fo your answer. But, I don’t really get it.
* Here is what I found in the header.php of my template:
…
* ; charset=” />
* <?php wp_title(‘«’, true, ‘right’); ?> <?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>
* …
* Is this here that I have to change the Meta description?
* Thanks!

* [@mariebrandwire](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mariebrandwire/) – you
should use a SEO plugin for this kind of thing –

* Modifying theme files isn’t a good idea as your changes will be lost when the
theme is updated.
