Error: Missing Meta Description Tag on pages I can't find in order to correct
-
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/author/gina-fiedel/
http://www.fateyes.com/blog/Does anyone know how to input descriptions for pages like these?
Thanks!! -
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.
-
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.
-
Yes! Thank you. One down.

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...
-
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.
-
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.

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.

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.

Does Title Tag location in a page's source code matter?
Currently our meta description is on line 8 for our page - http://www.paintball-online.com/Paintball-Guns-And-Markers-0Y.aspx
Technical SEO | | IstoresincThe title tag, however sits below a bunch of code on line 237
Does the location of the title tag, meta tags, and any structured data have any influence with respect to SEO and search engines? Put another way, could we benefit from moving the title tag up to the top? I "surfed 'n surfed" and could not find any articles about this. I would really appreciate any help on this as our site got decimated organically last May and we are looking for any help with SEO. NIck

Templates for Meta Description, Good or Bad?
Hello, We have a website where users can browse photos of different categories. For each photo we are using a meta description template such as: Are you looking for a nice and cool photo? [Photo name] is the photo which might be of interest to you. And in the keywords tags we are using: [Photo name] photos, [Photo name] free photos, [Photo name] best photos. I'm wondering, is this any safe method? it's very difficult to write a manual description when you have 3,000+ photos in the database. Thanks!

Should I put meta descriptions on pages that are not indexed?
I have multiple pages that I do not want to be indexed (and they are currently not indexed, so that's great). They don't have meta descriptions on them and I'm wondering if it's worth my time to go in and insert them, since they should hypothetically never be shown. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks! The reason this is a question is because one member of our team was linking to this page through Facebook to send people to it and noticed random text on the page being pulled in as the description.

Why crawl error "title missing or empty" when there is already "title and meta desciption" in place?
I've been getting 73 "title missing or empty" warnings from SEOMOZ crawl diagnostic. This is weird as I've installed yoast wordpress seo plugin and all posts do have title and meta description. But why the results here.. can anyone explain what's happening? Thanks!! Here are some of the links that are listed with "title missing, empty". Almost all our blog posts were listed there. http://www.gan4hire.com/blog/2011/are-you-here-for-good/ http://www.gan4hire.com/blog/2011/are-you-socially-awkward/
