Title: Pagination meta description Last modified: January 26, 2021 --- # Pagination meta description * Resolved [Nikita_Sp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikitasp/) * (@nikitasp) * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pagination-meta-description/) * Hi! * There is the issue I’ve faced with the update. * Where: categories and archive pagination. What: meta description is empty on 1st page (it’s free version), on page >1 there is an empty meta description with”– Page {n}”, where {n} – is current page number. * The problem: it seems (logical) if the description is EMPTY it should stay empty for all the pages, shouldn’t it? * I’ve already got some solution for meta description on that pages that I want, but now I get 2 meta description tags. * And there is no way to prevent output. Even when I disable the meta for this type of object, I get this result + noindex adds. * Why? If I want to handle meta for this object by myself? I don’t need noindex. How should I resolve this issue? * Thanks.

Please, let me know when you’ll got it – I’ll remove the link from the post. * 1. [https://rubika.com.ua/blog](https://rubika.com.ua/blog) – none meta description from AIOSP, custom meta description outputs using `functions.php` using custom fields and `wp_head` action. * 2. [https://rubika.com.ua/blog/page/2](https://rubika.com.ua/blog/page/2) – empty meta description + ” – Page %s” from AIOSP and custom meta description. * There should not be ” – Page %s” meta description if AIOSP meta is empty, because there is no premium => there is no meta description for this taxonomy (category). * Thanks. - This reply was modified 4 years, 11 months ago by [Nikita_Sp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikitasp/). - This reply was modified 4 years, 11 months ago by [Nikita_Sp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikitasp/). - This reply was modified 4 years, 11 months ago by [Nikita_Sp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikitasp/). * Plugin Support [Steve M](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpsmort/) * (@wpsmort) * [4 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pagination-meta-description/#post-14435215) * [@nikitasp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikitasp/) Are you saying that you’re using our aioseo_description filter in your functions.php to output the meta description for your Blog page? * Thread Starter [Nikita_Sp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikitasp/) * (@nikitasp) * [4 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pagination-meta-description/#post-14436645) * [@wpsmort](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpsmort/) no, just echo function for wp_head action.

That’s why I got doubled meta description tag. Can’t you see it? Did the link was helpfull? * So, seems there is a bug, because it sounds logical that if there is no Premium( if meta description for Tax/Category is empty) – the meta description doesn’t outputs neither on 1st page, nor others. * Hope this helped. * Plugin Support [Steve M](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpsmort/) * (@wpsmort) * [4 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pagination-meta-description/#post-14450165) * [@nikitasp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikitasp/) There are no settings for controlling the SEO on individual categories, but there are absolutely settings to control the format for SEO titles and descriptions for categories, tags and custom taxonomies. You can find these under All in One SEO > Search Appearance > Taxonomies. So you may want to check what you’ve set there. * Thread Starter [Nikita_Sp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikitasp/) * (@nikitasp) * [4 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pagination-meta-description/#post-14453990) * [@wpsmort](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpsmort/) seems works, could you please tell where we can remove noindex tag from pagination pages (2nd, 3rd, etc)? * Thanks.
