Editing Meta Keywords
-
I have spent a lot of time now clicking around to every possible link within my WP admin area trying to figure out how to edit the keywords which appear in the upper left most part of the screen on the same bar as appear the words ‘Howdy, user name’ on the right. They appear on every post and I need to change them but cannot figure out how after quite some effort trying. Would anyone please be so kind as to tell me where to access those meta tags? Thank you in advance to anyone able to help.

Hi, could you post some screenshots of these meta keywords ? where you see them.
thanks.
Thank you dimitris33 for your interest in helping me figure this out. I thought to attach screenshots but I do not see a way to do that in this forum. As I say though, the keywords appear in the upper left most part of the screen. Can you advise please how one attaches screenshots here?
You’re referring to the wp_admin_bar. You’ll need to use action hooks in a child theme functions.php file to make the changes. Here are some references to get you started:

Hello bdbrown and thanks for the heads up about http://pasteboard.co/
The link to the screenshot is as follows:

I’m not sure what the problem is. You asked about accessing the “meta tags” on the admin toolbar. There aren’t any “meta tags”; items on the toolbar are all menus or nodes as described in the links I posted above. You can’t change it using FTP. If you’re referring to the “Invisible Fence…” text, that is also a menu item or node being added to the admin toolbar, either by a plugin or some other function or script. First thing I would recommend is to disable all your plugins and see if that fixes it. If so, enable the plugins one at a time until you find which one is causing the issue.
If you are talking about your site title this is found in settings>general.
To control better your titles you can use a plugin like Yoast.
from what i see you have a really old version of WP, i suggest you take a backup and update, you will have a more secure and improved website if you do.
