Hi Martin
That's what I am doing now, going through pages and taking out the description and using Yoast for everything else. Love his Plugin.
Thanks again for all your time and help

Hi Martin
You're very kind to help. I checked, theres only one SEC plugin and every single url on the site was showing duplicate meta descriptions according to SEOMOZ tools. This is resolved when I don't use Yoast description.
Hi Martin
Thanks for coming back to me so quickly! I don't think there are different pages causing the problem. I've looked at it again.
My theme has an SEO description box, as does Yoast's plugin. When I do not use Yoast, and run a page report there, it comes up with a tick on the box, saying that I do not have a 2 meta descriptions.
I am guessing the problem is with my theme (having SEO already in it). God help us all, at the moment I am in the header php having a look at that. I am not a tech person, I'm a psychologist, so that should tell me loud and clear "Get out of the PHP!
I have just emailed the theme support to see if there is a way to disable their SEO, as I want to continue with Yoast.
I should say that it is not showing up in google webmaster tools. It shows no errors or problems with the site
Thanks again for posting
Hi all,
I'm using Yoast's SEO plugin and when I run a On Page report card here on SEOMOZ it says there are 2 descriptions tags
I've been trying to fix this but can't (I'm new!)
Anyone any ideas on this?
Thanks
Elaine
