Do I need meta descriptions for category pages in Wordpress?

[Jarod4545]

Do I need meta descriptions for category pages in Wordpress? They show up as errors in the Moz site audit. What should I do about it?

Thanks,

Hi Jarod,

What you should be asking yourself is whether you need those pages to be indexable and having information available to Google.
If you don't want them to rank well, they probably won't need any meta description. Remember that if a page has no meta description, Google will take some of its content and place it as meta description.

On a side note, Moz reports will show errors and analyze every page that you have enabled to be indexable. 
Also, you can choose to ignore what Moz's report tells you. You might probably know more about your site than Moz.

Best luck.
Hope I helped.
