Ive been playing around with the website analyzer at quicksprout.

For some reason, some of my webpages have 2 errors:

Missing Meta Description &
Multiple Meta Descriptions

But some of my pages have no errors at all. Cant understand it and have now spent 2 hours trying to work it out.

I deleted some 'meta name' code from my header php and then I changed my Yoast plugin to show %%excerpt%% in the meta description

but its still happening.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

    Have you checked the actual url html in your browser, to make sure it's actually missing on the page?

      No I didnt, thanks.

      I looked up "meta name" on one of the offending pages and I found 3 instances of it: (from top to bottom)

      <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=0">
      <meta name="description" content="The credit crunch was in full force and every day presented new challenges and headaches."/>
      <meta name="generator" content="WordPress 4.0.1" />

      Any ideas?

    I think that with Yoast Plugin you can modify the Meta Description individually in each page or blog post.
