    Hi,

    Please take a look at line 285 of
    this html source of a listing’s page, it has this content:

    <meta name="description" content="%%extrait%%" /><meta name="keywords" content="seconde main, brocante" />

    I already use The SEO Framework as my SEO plugin and I was exchanging about this with the developper. Here’s the status on secondary tags:

    Normally on Search Engines, a secondary description that’s found later in the code is disregarded; but some systems like Facebook still take it as the primary entry. The keywords are a bad thing to have, they’re outdated and can lead to unwanted Search Engine bias; filtering your website from certain queries.

    (view discussion here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seo-framework-breaks-geodirectory/#post-8543692)

    The question is about how to disable this output from GeoDirectory?

    Thanks and happy holidays,
    Marc

    Hi Marc,

    You just want to remove keywords? If so this should do it

    add_filter('geodir_seo_meta_keywords','__return_empty_string');

    Thanks and happy holidays to you also 🙂

    Hi Stiofan,

    Brilliant, I added this line to remove the description as well. My SEO plugin (SEO Framework) already provides description and keywords. 

    add_filter('geodir_seo_meta_description','__return_empty_string');

    Thanks,
    Marc
