Fixing Missing MetaTag Errors

[justin99]

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 link missing the meta tag descriptions.

Most of the errors display "Comments on" with a /feed in the end of the url.

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!

FYI: I just found this link after digging through all the Q&A history, however I tried it and am not sure if it has worked as I still see the errors on my SEOmoz report. The link is:

Hope someone can help me figure this one out!

Thanks,

Justin

Hi Justin,

Do you really want the feed of comments on posts?  In my experience, this tends to be of limited use anyway.  One easy, easy option is to delete the comments feed line in your header.php file (go to Appearance...Editor and look for header.php).

Alternatively, you could block the feeds pages with robots.txt.

Alternatively to that alternative you could switch from All in One to Joost de Valk's WP SEO plugin, which gives you tons of configuration over whether things like this get indexed, templates for meta descriptions, etc.
