2 sets of meta tags

My blog view source shows that I have 2 sets of meta tags. One of them comes from All In One Seo Pack but the other one is part of the theme I use, the Ultimate blogging theme.

But the other is nowhere to be found and happens to come first, so search engines sees that and does not continue to the next one which is set up in All in one SEO Pack.

Where would I find the first set so I can delete them. See below.

    Hello,

    Even if the meta tags are empty, you should delete this line :

    <meta name="description" content="" /> <meta name="keywords" content="" />

    In header.php

      @Mozzer, I went into header.php and took out the line. I then redid a view source file after making sure I had refreshed my browser and the line is still showing. Any ideas?

    Head back into header.php and remove any PHP code that might contain meta name="description" or name="keywords" - if your theme gives you the option to enter this meta info, then it will insert that data using PHP functions.

      You precisely have to remove these lines :

      PHP Code:
      <?php if (is_single() || is_page() ) : if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?><meta name="description" content="<?php  = get_post_meta(, 'meta-description', true);  if () { ?><?php echo ; ?><?php } else { ?><?php the_excerpt_rss(); ?><?php } ?>" /><?php endwhile; endif;
          elseif(      is_home()) : ?>
          <meta name="description" content="<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>" />
          <?php endif; ?>
          <?php if (is_single() || is_page() ) : if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?><meta name="keywords" content="<?php  = get_post_meta(, 'meta-keywords', true);  if () { ?><?php echo ?><?php } else { ?><?php the_excerpt_rss(); ?><?php } ?>" /><?php endwhile; endif; endif; ?>
      in header.php (line 27 to 31).
