    The Plugin (WordPress SEO) doesn’t add a meta description on any kind of site (page, post, home). The head-section looks like this:

    <head>
    <title><?php wp_title(”); ?></title>

    <link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/style.css” />
    <!–[if IE 6]>
    <style type=”text/css”>
    /*<![CDATA[*/
    div#about_author {width: 719px;};
    div#ad1{margin-left: 5px;};
    div#ad2{margin-right: 5px;};
    div#ad3{margin-left: 5px;};
    div#ad4{margin-right: 5px;};
    div#post .dots{margin-top: 0px;};
    div#content .comments{margin: 10px 0 20px 10px;};
    div#blogroll {width: 280px;};
    div#post .details{margin: -14px 0 12px 23px;};
    div#content{margin: 0 280px 0 0px;};
    div#content .comments{width: 658px;};
    /*]]>*/
    </style>
    <![endif]–>

    <link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”RSS 2.0″ href=”<?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’); ?>” />
    <link rel=”pingback” href=”xmlrpc.php” />
    <link rel=”EditURI” type=”application/rsd+xml” title=”RSD” href=”xmlrpc.php?rsd” />
    <link rel=”wlwmanifest” type=”application/wlwmanifest+xml” href=”wlwmanifest.xml” />
    <link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”http://www.XXX.com/favicon.ico&#8221; />
    </head>

    I tried to add a description manually on page/post level and also with the templates in the titles setting of the plugin. Both doesn’t word…

    Any ideas how to fix this issue?

    Many thanks,
    gvl

    You’re lacking a call to wp_head in your header.php, this is required for this plugin, and loads of other plugins, to work.

    Good to hear that fixed it, just added a note to the plugins FAQ.
