 * I have added meta tags and title to my header.php file. Google webmaster tools
   is flagging that I have duplicate meta descriptions because of this. Do I need
   to have different meta data on every page? I would like to change the title of
   each page but not sure how to do this.
 * Thanks

 * Take it out of the header and install a plugin such as Yoast SEO. It will handle
   everything for you and more. You can then write custom titles and descriptions
   for every page/post from the post edit screen.
 * PS – keep the title tag in the header though like this:
 *     ```
       <title><?php wp_title();?></title>
       ```

 * yaa you need to avoid duplicate title tags . no two pages should have same title.
   E.g. category and tag both named ” Nature ” will have duplicate title tags
