Need help with WP Weaver II coding cleanup

Aloha from Hawai'i,
I've just taken my one and only html website and made it into a WP site using the Weaver II theme. It looks great and functions fine (I'm a lot more familiar with WP than html), but it is displaying meta tags that are fragments from my "building/experimental" site where I built the WP replica before cloning it to a new WP install.
I can't find the tags being displayed in any of the editor files but they are being read by the search engines, so I'd like to clean it up.
I hope this description is enough for someone to try and help me figure this out. Many mahalos (thanks!) in advance,
Chris

    If you're comfortable sharing the URL of your site, it may help us to find exactly what is calling the old meta tags.

    You could also use phpMyAdmin on your hosting cpanel to search for any parts of the Wordpress database that contains the old meta tags and replace or remove those tags manually.

      Sure, here it is:

      I have never used the phpMyAdmin and looking at it I don't know how to find what I am looking for. Any help with this will really be helpful in also getting me a little more familiar with the "hidden" stuff in WP. Can't hurt!

      The metas I want to eliminate have to do with "County of Hawaii Planning Department" and "County of Hawaii Planning Department blog"
      I really look forward to replies.

      Thanks,
      Chris

    As long as the information isn't hard coded into the template you will be able to find it in the database.

    The site has two meta description and meta keywords tags. One from All-in-One SEO and one from the Weaver II sub-theme. The one from All-in-One is correct. The one from Weaver II sub-theme is incorrect and since it is second trumps the correct data. Is there a configuration for the sub-theme that needs tweaked?

      Aloha Ernie! This was it. Weaver II has a checkbox for using an SEO plugin over their default; all I had to do was check the box to clear this up. That's a lot easier than learning css (one of these daze...) but I feel a little dumb I didn't figure that out on my own. Ha!
      Mahalo again, Ernie!!
