 * Hello everyone.
 * For some pages of my website (54) I got a multiple metadescription error.
 * I used Yoast SEO to customise metadescriptions and I would like to keep these.
   However, somehow part of the content of my pages is read as metadescription and
   I don’t know why. Can someone help me?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmultiple-meta-description%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * That means that two systems are trying to add in a meta description. The best
   way to find out what those are is to disable all of your plugins and revert to
   a default (Twenty-something) theme. Then re-enable your theme, then the plugins
   one-by-one and check after each one to see how many meta description tags there
   are on that page. You’ll soon find out what is doing that.
 * You already know that one is coming from Yoast, so when you find what the second
   one is you can check with the authors or support for that theme/plugin to see
   if that cam be turned off.

 * Hey there,
 * Seems like you’re facing a metadescription issue on some pages of your website.
   Using Yoast SEO for customization is a great approach. It might be that your 
   page content is conflicting with the custom metadescriptions. Have you checked
   the HTML and the placement of the metadescriptions? Good luck!
