    Hello,

    On all of our webapges, two instances of meta name description are present.

    Not sure if the second one relates to image alt text or the Ipad favicon.

    Bing is reporting as an error: “More than one Meta Description tag”.

    The source code shows two instances of meta name description appearing.

    I refer to the two screeenhsots.

    Hello @icemanau,

    Thanks for using the Yoast SEO plugin.

    I can confirm the duplicate meta descriptions. There are also duplicate Open Graph and Twitter tags. Please perform a conflict check to know the source of the duplicate tags as it could be your theme or another plugin.

    The fastest way to rule out any conflict is to deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme like Twenty Twenty-Two.

    Please test this on your development or staging site if you have one. If not, we recommend using the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin. This plugin has a troubleshooting mode, which does not affect normal visitors to your site.

    If you’re unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we’d like to point you to a step-by-step guide that will walk you through the process: How to check for plugin conflicts

    If you feel uncomfortable doing this yourself or if this does not solve your issue, our Yoast SEO Premium plugin comes with one year of (technical) support.

    Hi @maybellyne,

    Thank you for looking into this.

    As you pointed out, this issue was due to duplicate open graph and meta tag. We resolved this issue by switching off the theme’s open graph function.

    Thank you for your help.
