 * I use the Hello template in WordPress in combination with your plugin
   For some
   reason the plugin does not remove the duplicate meta descriptionwhat could be
   the problem?

 * Hello [@yoniseo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yoniseo/),
 * Thanks for using the Yoast SEO plugin. It will not remove the duplicate meta 
   description. You have to identify the source (whatever is responsible for outputting
   it) and remove it from there. You can perform a [conflict check](https://yoast.com/help/how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts/)
   to narrow down the source of the second meta description.
 * If you’re unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we’d like to point you to a
   step-by-step guide that will walk you through the process: [How to check for plugin conflicts](https://yoast.com/help/how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts/)
 * If you feel uncomfortable doing this yourself or if this does not solve your 
   issue, our [Yoast SEO Premium plugin](https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo/)
   comes with one year of (technical) support.
