    Install some top SEO plugin such as 'All in One SEO Pack' or 'SEO by Yoast' - You can put description in there using these!

    Your meta description should somehow show some of your keywords and command a call to action.

    You can easily set your meta description by adding plugins or add this code on your header.php file
    <meta name="description" content="Write Your Description Here" />

    If you have meta description for your blog in header.php and install Yoast SEO, you will delette description from header.php.

    To add meta tags to your site, simply add them to the header.php template file in your WordPress Theme, specifically in the head section near the link for the style sheet. At the top you will see the DOCTYPE tag and below that you will see a couple more tags and then the <title> tag, looking something like this:

    <title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?><?php wp_title(); ?></title>

    Below this line you can add your meta tags. You can add meta tag inform.

    If you want to avoid all of these complicated things, then you just need to install SEO plugin named "SEO by Yoast". Everything will be done automatically.
