Would appreciate if you could write down that piece of code if you can, this little thing knocked my site a couple of places in rankings...so I just have to get it fixed and I don't know anyone that has the knowledge to help me out..also there is nothing on this anywhere...would be really great if you could give me the code...

<meta name="description" content="<?php if ( $paged at at my description"/>

----

This code for instance works with one little problem
it does not remove the original title and meta description on page 2, 3 and so on....it adds new meta and title so now I have 2 different title and meta tags.....all I need is a little tweak in this code so the original title and meta description dont show up on 2,3,4....

sorry for spamming your blog with my second comment, just wanted to tell you that after a couple of hours I have finally found where to put in the php code in thesis theme

there is only one problem left

<?php if ( $paged

this code makes 2 different titles on all the pages
first title is the original title and the text Page2 after that

then under it there is second title that adds Reviews, SEO, wordpress, how to do things ...+ home page name

I would like only 1 title tag on all of the pages, not 2.... the only difference is to add page 2,3.. to the title on all the other pages eccept home page

But the second problem is meta description...which basically is my main problem....I would like different meta descriptions on pages 2,3.... than home page

Could you please right down a piece of code that does that?

I promise that I wont bug you more after that

Thanks

The thesis theme is pretty complicated, can't find anything like that..

By the way, after google spotted this my rankings went down and I dont think its a coincidence since they were stable for a very long time

Therefore its really important for me to fix it.... If you could by any chance take a look at thesis theme i would really appreciate it, Im sure you will find where to put in the code in no time, but for a guy like me that does not have that much php knowledge is impossible... can zip the files and send them to you...

I understand if you don't have the time but you would really help me out a lot if you could do this...

Thanks in advance..

I wouldn't disallow the pages, or you'll restrict Google's ability to find posts.

And I wouldn't worry about it too much. Google's used to blogs with these duplicate problems and I doubt they'll cause you any problems in practice.

I use Thesis theme and tried this out but it does not seem to work
I dont have any seo plugins since there is no need to if your are using thesis theme..

My domain looks like this..

http://www.domain.com
http://www.domain.com/page2/
http://www.domain.com/page3/

where the pages are previous older posts...didnt have any problems with this but recently google webmaster tools is saying that I have double meta description tags...

How do I fix this in Thesis theme?

PLEASE help, I have been looking for a solution for days and havent found any, dont usually ask for help until I have done everything there is to solve a problem myself but at this point I cant...

How do I solve this?

Was thinking about disallowing page2, page3 and so on in robots.txt
but dont know if this is a good idea...

What to you suggest I do?

Thank you very much in advance for your help and waiting for your reply...

FYI, you may want to wrap the sample code itself in code brackets, like so:

echo (' page ');

As it is, WordPress has converted all single-quotes to smart quotes and anyone who tries to cut and paste your code will break their WP page.

This is driving me mad.
