hi Michael, I assume you’re not using a Thesis theme if you have control over the title tag and wp_title.
This is not really an answer but more of an explanation…
WordPress outputs much of that type of HTML where ever it finds the function wp_head (http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Function_Reference/wp_head) – towards the closing head tag seems to be where most people put it.
The problem (as I understand your question) is that a number of plug ins and custom functionality add tags to wp_head and so what is returned depends on what you have installed.
In the past I usually over come (some of) this by creating my own functionality and/or by modifying the theme… but there may be some plug ins that do this already in a more elegant manner.
In this case, if you want to move the meta tags to a specific location, I would move wp_head, but it’s hard to say what other tags will be moved with that function as well.
Not really an answer, but good luck 🙂
@aaranged, the solution appears to be: use Thesis for the home page title, and use the SEO plug in for all the metas (and the titles for anything that is not the home page).
The problem relates to Thesis handing over control of the meta descriptions/keywords if it finds a class with the name All_in_One_SEO_Pack. It appears the SEO plug in uses a class with that name. From the code: “Let’s act as though this is AIOSEO so plugins and themes that act differently for that will fix do it for this plugin as well.”
I guess it’s a bit confusing because on the home page, Thesis does not check for SEO All In One, for the title tag.
