Fixing Meta Descriptions in All-in-One SEO WordPress plugin

I was a tad baffled several months back when I noticed that meta descriptions were not appearing on my web pages. I use the All-in-One SEO plugin for manage my meta descriptions and I checked all over kingdom come for what could be wrong.

As a last resort I read the documentation on the All-in-One SEO wesbite

The problem was simple. For some reason I had deleted wp_head() from my header. (I often edit and customize my templates so it was possible I did this!)

The fix:

1. In your admin panel, go to Plugins – Theme Editor
2. On the right bar, click on Header
3. Locate the line with
4. Insert the following line before it:
“<?php wp_head(); ?>” (without the quotes)
5. Save

Since this is posted in their Help, the issue must come up often. So glad to know I am not alone…
