Please bear with me as I am a little bit of a doofus on this stuff.
So what you are saying is that the description and keyword metatags found in between those “All in One SEO Pack” tags, ARE the right ones? As long as they are above the </head> tag we are cool?
The duplicate tags you saw were because I had <?php wp_head(); ? entered twice in my theme header. I fixed that so I think all is good.
I also took out this: <meta name=”description” content=”” /> from my theme’s header because it was just sitting there blank at the top of the page I didn’t think I should have that blank one PLUS the AIOSEO one on the same page. I hoping that was right.
Thank you so much for your help.
