How to remove the duplicate description error related to paginated page in Genesis

The genesis theme copies the meta description on every paginated page resulting in errors at the google search console. To avoid it, we suggest to remove the meta description from inner paginated pages.

Add the following to a wordpress plugin:


function bloup(){
if (is_paged()){
remove_action( 'genesis_meta','genesis_seo_meta_description' );
}
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'bloup',10);


This code checks if the actual web page is a paginated page. If it is true, it removes <meta name=”description” content=””>

Meanwhile, it will not remove the meta name description from the first page of a category or a page or a post.
