Do you have a link to your site?

hey thanks for the quick response. the link is

catchmybiz.com

<meta name="description" content="<meta name="description" content="The place to find all your favorite local businesses" /> " />

This in the header of your theme will do it.

It should just be…

<meta name="description" content="The place to find all your favorite local businesses" />

ok i replaced it but it still showing up on my site..

my theme gives me the option to add <meta name=”description” content=”The place to find all your favorite local businesses” /> to “seo options meta tags” and thats where i placed it. am i placing it in the wrong place?

Check it’s not duplicating itself in the actual header.php of your theme, if it has a header.php.

it is not duplicating itself either. any other ideas? im thinking about just deleting that meta tag..

I dont think its header.php

It really must be index.php or home.php (if you have one). The header file is called much after the execution of meta tags but this is on the top of meta tags.

Check those files and I am sure you will eliminate the bug.
??

Paste up here the actual code from the header.php file. Not the whole thing, just the bit for the meta description bit. And I’ll have a look.

ok this is from the header.php file. is this what i was supposed to show you? and i couldnt find anything in the index.php file about this

</title>
<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”<?php bloginfo(‘html_type’); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo(‘charset’); ?>” />
<?php if (is_home()) { ?>
<?php if ( get_option(‘ptthemes_meta_description’) <> “” ) { ?>
<meta name=”description” content=”<?php echo stripslashes(get_option(‘ptthemes_meta_description’)); ?>” />
<?php } ?>
<?php if ( get_option(‘ptthemes_meta_keywords’) <> “” ) { ?>
<meta name=”keywords” content=”<?php echo stripslashes(get_option(‘ptthemes_meta_keywords’)); ?>” />
<?php } ?>
<?php if ( get_option(‘ptthemes_meta_author’) <> “” ) { ?>
<meta name=”author” content=”<?php echo stripslashes(get_option(‘ptthemes_meta_author’)); ?>” />

<meta name=”description” content=”<?php echo stripslashes(get_option(‘ptthemes_meta_description’)); ?>” />

Delete the two bits in bold and that should solve your problem.

The <meta name=”description” content=” and the ” /> on the end.

Hey buddy..

I told you its not header.php, as when you click on any links ” /> disappears, header.php is called everywhere in the site.

Did you check out home.php or homepage.php? as your theme talks about one
<?php if (is_home()) { ?>

Buddy I think the theme automatically has inbuilt SEO capabilities to fill those in. If he deletes them, he got to manually update SEO’s

Check my opinion, it is certainly not header.php, check his site and click on any link.
