[NSFW] Duplicate meta description when using SEO plugin with excerpt

Hi, I wanted to flag a conflict issue with Hello Elementor theme for anyone else experiencing this.

The Problem:
When using an SEO plugin (I was using Rank Math) and adding excerpt text to a page, the page outputs two meta description tags — one from the SEO plugin and one from the theme’s built-in excerpt meta tag function.

This is caused by hello_elementor_add_description_meta_tag() in the theme’s functions.php which outputs the excerpt as a <meta name="description"> tag, conflicting with any SEO plugin that already handles this.

The Fix:
Add this one line to your child theme functions.php:

php

// Disable Hello Elementor's built-in excerpt meta description tag
add_filter( 'hello_elementor_description_meta_tag', '__return_false' );

Suggestion for the theme team:
The theme should automatically detect if an SEO plugin is active and skip outputting the meta description. This would affect anyone using Hello Elementor with Rank Math, Yoast, AIOSEO or any other SEO plugin.

Hope this helps someone else!
