      This seems silly, but I have errors on blog URLs in our WordPress site that I don't know how to access because they are not in our Dashboard. We are using All in One SEO. The errors are for blog archive dates, authors and just simply 'blog'. Here are samples:

      http://www.fateyes.com/2012/10/
      http://www.fateyes.com/author/gina-fiedel/
      http://www.fateyes.com/blog/

      Does anyone know how to input descriptions for pages like these?
      Thanks!!

        You Should have the option when editing the page content, you may have close the tab which is below the content box, should say (ALL in One SEO Pack), so click to open it.

          Thanks. Yes- that's how and where to add Title, Description, etc. on pages and posts. The problem I am experiencing is these are pages that don't seemingly exist- or at least I can't figure out where to find them. They are not content pages.

              Under your Dashboard, go to Users, and if you are the only user click on Your Profile, otherwise choose the profile you want to update.  If I read the question right, you should solve at least 1 of the issues from there.

                With out logging in it would be hard to access but this one is your blog home page : http://www.fateyes.com/blog/ , so should be listed under 1 of four sections in your admin panel, post,page,all in one seo settings or theme settings.

                  Thank you, Anita.

                  That was helpful- I found the "Edit User" "Personal Options" pages for authors, but there is no meta description area. There is an "About the user" section with an area for "Biographical Info". Nothing for All in One SEO is on this page. I can't imagine that a bio would be considered a meta description, but who knows...

                      I had a similar issue with my authors and updated both the Author Archive Settings and Theme SEO Settings (metas) under the area mentioned above and it solved the issue.  It had nothing to do with All in One.

                        Do you mean that inputting an author bio was the same as putting in a meta description on a content page? I did go ahead and add author bios just in case.
