Hi Discourse Team,
I’m reaching you because we have noticed some duplicate meta descriptions on our community website, since we used the “site description” field in the settings.
I would like to know if it’s possible and how to have a different meta description for each page of our website :
- .com/about
- .com/categories
- .com/privacy
- etc.
Many thanks,

I believe something similar has already been discussed here

During a Site Audit, it states that “5 pages have duplicate meta descriptions” Those 5 pages are: https://forum.mydomainname.com/ https://forum.mydomainname.com/categories https://forum.mydomainname.com/guidelines https://forum.mydomainname.com/privacy https://forum.mydomainname.com/tos I promise you, I did look for this answer before running to the forum - but how do I change the meta descriptions on these pages so I can make SEMRush and the Google O…

@dax Thank you for your answer.
The title tag is fine. But, we need to have different meta descriptions for :
- categories
- guidelines
- privacy
- etc.
Somehow, our meta description is the same for all pages. Do you know why ? and how to fix it ?
Many thanks.

It is possible to overwrite meta title for categories from `/admin/customize/site_texts`, searching for `js.filters.with_category`, while the category description can be edited in the About topic of the category.
Instead to change the meta titles and descriptions for the static pages I guess you’ll have to write a plugin.

I’m really surprised this isn’t possible yet. Meta descriptions are crucial for SEO and this has been common knowledge for like 20 years lol.
I have the latest version of Discourse and all the static pages (FAQ, Privacy, etc) have the default Site Description for “meta description” in Google. That’s just bad! Why aren’t more people complaining about this?

Maybe nobody is complaining because it is a very minor issue, if an issue at all?

+1, 메타 설명은 링크 공유 시 사용되며 참여율에도 매우 중요합니다.
