      Hey all,

      I just had a crawl test done on my site(created using wordpress) and I received a ton of missing meta tag descriptions to fix.

      The odd thing is though I use "All in One" SEO Tool and the actual pages or posts on the site do have meta tag descriptions, however I noticed for every post an RSS Feed is being automatically generated and this Feed is the culprit without meta tag descriptions.

      I am totally clueless on how to resolve these errors as I havent installed any WP plugins that generate feeds automatically.

      Has anyone encountered this problem before or know how to fix this??

      The site url is http:// GovernmentGrantsAustralia . org

      I have left spaces above to avoid being a link dropper 🙂

      Would really appreciate if anyone can help!

      Thanks a million,

      Jus

        Most wordpress themes generate RSS feeds automatically.  Take a look at this plugin :

        You could also just disallow the actual feed in your htaccess file but I don't think that's ideal.

          thanks daniel, i figured out that the metatag missing errors are due to them missing on the "Comments on" feed generated after every post.

          The actual pages are fine, it is generating feeds for the comments which is where seomoz picked the missing metatag error.

          Not sure, how I can fix it though as my wp comments are already disabled...
