# Settings not saving

 * I am trying to disable the automatic description meta tag from being created.
   Un-checking the option and saving does not seem to work – the setting is still
   checked on refresh and the meta tag still created on the front-end.
 * **edit:** The culprit is found here: (around line 187)
 *     ```
       // If missing (eg checkboxes), use the default value
       else {
           $add_meta_tags_opts[$def_key] = $def_value;
       }
       ```
   
 * This essentially makes it impossible to save anything but the default values 
   as the checkbox field is not sent in $_POST if not checked.
