Missing Description Tag
-
I pulled the latest moz report and my category pages are being flagged as missing description tag, but not only is the description visible on each page, it is also in the code for all to see.
Here is the code, what am I missing?

Hi There!
It is a bit difficult for me to tell from this post exactly which URL that you are referring to, but I took a look at your full site crawl and narrowed it down using the page title "Astronaut Costumes", per the code you pasted above. Of the two pages with that title, http://www.interstellarstore.com/toys-and-costumes/astronaut-costumes and http://www.interstellarstore.com/astronaut-costumes, neither is being reported in the site crawl or the page optimization reports as missing the meta description. (Page optimization actually reports that the meta descriptions are too long.)
However, I definitely see that there are a large number of other pages in your crawl that are reported as missing the meta description. For the handful of those I checked, it does look like that error is being reported correctly. It looks like you've submitted a support request to our help team, so it would be very helpful if you could follow up there with specific examples of pages that are reported as missing the meta description, but that actually have the meta description in the source code so they can look into this further for you.
We look forward to hearing back from you there soon.

This is a weird situation, Screaming Frog isn't having any issues pulling your meta descriptions. Before you spend a bunch of time trying to fix this, I'd wait until your next crawl and see if the issue persists. It might just be a glitch in Moz.
Regarding your meta keywords tag issues, don't fix them, just remove that tag altogether. Search engines don't even look at that tag anymore. The only purpose that tag serves anymore is giving your competition an inside look at what you're targeting on what page.

Fantastic, always when you need to solve this, usually look in the theme directory you are using, it is where it print the content, and like php developers, the folder "includes" is where the header.php, content.php sidebar.php or footer.php are (or similar), is the folder to put this files to not repeat this code again and again in all urls.
-
Ah yes, found it - thank you. I use Opencart, which isn't great. But your advice helped me find the file in 30 seconds instead of 30 minutes so thank you. That is the keyword space fixed!
-
I can´t see what cms you are using (not wordpress, drupal or joomla), probably is in a theme template, in a folder call includes, the file the print the header, probably header.php or something, depends the cms or the structure.
-
Yes, I know I need to edit the code - but finding the file is always a nightmare. While I can edit code, I'm not a developer, and I tend to spend a good half an hour finding the file only to implement a 5 second fix!
-
You first fix that by hand, and after you have to wait Google Re-index your site
-
I will of course fix that, but it won't resolve the issue at hand
-
I'm sorry, what do you mean by ''strange''?
-
I still think you should fix de separation in the keywords content= " as Sean said first time
-
The indentation code looks strange
-
I'll ask them, thank you.
-
Apologies, my mistake.
The Mozbar picks up your meta descriptions correctly so I don't know what's going on. Perhaps flag this question as 'Moz Support' and see what the tech guys say?

Hi Sean, the part with the missing space is under Keywords, not Description. Surely that can't be it (but thanks for pointing that out, I will fix that as soon as I find the file which contains the info).
-
I did have a similar issue in the past with a client and we used to have the same problem, with the solution Sean gives should it be resolved.
-
Would this be anything to do with the space you have between the 'equals' sign and the opening quote marks:

Source page showsI have 2 h1 tags on my page. I can only find one.
When I grade my page it says I have more than one h1 tag. I view the source page and it shows there are two h1 headings with the same wording. If I delete the one h1 heading I can find, the page source shows I have deleted both of them. I don't know how to get to the other heading to delete it. And I'm off page one of google! Can anybody help? Clay Stephens
