    Hi, how do I stop Site Kit from generating a meta description containing the post excerpt? I have double meta descriptions because I’m adding one with Rank Math and Site Kit is generating one that contains the post’s excerpt:

    <meta name=”generator” content=”Site Kit by Google 1.139.0″ /><meta name=”description” content=”Excerpt goes here.”>

    The code looks like it’s Site Kit but it was actually the Hello them by Elementor adding the extra meta description. I’ll leave this here for anyone else that might come across this. I removed it using this:

    function remove_hello_elementor_description_meta_tag() {
	remove_action( 'wp_head', 'hello_elementor_add_description_meta_tag' );
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'remove_hello_elementor_description_meta_tag' );

    Thanks for getting in touch @richieb12. Appreciate you sharing the filter that helped in your case. As you discovered, Site Kit doesn’t add a meta description related to a post excerpt. It only places it’s own meta description to identity the plugin is in use, displaying the plugin version.

    Let me know if you have any further questions on this, otherwise I’ll go ahead and close this support topic.
