Change Meta description

  • Hi,

    I don’t manage to change the meta description of my website. I read a lot about that but nothing helped me. Could you please precisely tell me where I can find the meta description in WordPress version 3.7?

    Thanks!!

  • Hi,

    Meta description is always in header – header.php in your template.But if you add <meta> in your head it will be same in all yor page. If you like manage meta on your wordpress website install yoast widget then you can change all meta – title, description on each page

    Well thank you very much Michal fo your answer. But, I don’t really get it.

    Here is what I found in the header.php of my template:
    …

    <head profile=”https://gmpg.org/xfn/11″&gt;
    <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”<?php bloginfo(‘html_type’); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo(‘charset’); ?>” />

    <title><?php wp_title(‘«’, true, ‘right’); ?> <?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></title>

    …

    Is this here that I have to change the Meta description?

    Thanks!
    Marie

    yes you can add there <meta content=”default text” name=”description”>

    @mariebrandwire – you should use a SEO plugin for this kind of thing –

    Modifying theme files isn’t a good idea as your changes will be lost when the theme is updated.
