But not only do Google robots read them, social media sites also use them to display your blog posts.

To generate meta tags, the easiest option is to install a plugin. As the latest version of the Yoast SEO plugin is showing bugs to generate meta tags, we created this tutorial for you to learn how to install and configure Rank Math, a plugin that, among other features, creates the meta tags for your blog!

Check out this tutorial on how to install and configure Rank Math.

Do I need to install Rank Math?

Yoast SEO only presented bugs related to meta tags after the release of version 14, so this applies to you in case you have a version equal to or greater than 14.

To find out the version of your Yoast SEO, look at the plugin page inside your site's admin panel:

Below the plugin's description, you can see which version is installed on your blog.

Locate the Yoast SEO plugin and click Activate:

Then, on the SEO option on the left side of the screen, click on Social Networks:

Now click on the Facebook option and check the Inactive option.

And then in the option Twitter, check the Inactive option and then Save Changes.

All done! Now you have the plugin configured to be able to share your blog content on social media!
