  I have installed Yoast SEO Plugin, but it automatically adds its pre default meta tags. I want to add my own customized meta tags on category pages but as there is no such option in the plugin. when I add manually on category pages form page editor it shows pre default meta tag but not showing my own customized meta tag.

  Please help me how do I add my own meta tag on each individual category pages.

  Hello –

  It sounds like you’re running the site on a stand alone WordPress installation rather than on our managed hosting environment from WordPress.com. Please share the site URL so we can take a quick look and get you on the right path for support.

  I am using the Yoast SEO plugin, how come the keywords meta tags is missing? None of my keywords are on my page, thus how will google know what I am trying to rank for?

  Since it seems your site is not hosted with us, we’re limited in what we can help with and advise. But I can get you pointed in the right direction to get help.

  The good news is that because you use the open-source variant of the WordPress platform (which functions differently than what we offer here on WordPress.com), help is available at the community forums here:

  https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/

  The folks in the open-source forum are more familiar with these issues and are in the best position to help.

  I hope this points you in the right direction.

  No response about my meta tags problem. Please tell me about that.

  Yoast SEO is made by a different company than WordPress.com, so we have no insight or information for you.

  I’d recommend posting your inquiry to their forums and someone from their team should be able to help you: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-seo/

  If you have their Pro version, you can reach them here: https://yoast.com/help/

  Please note that we can only assist with websites hosted at WordPress.com. If you’re using the WordPress software but hosted elsewhere, you will need to reach out to the WordPress.org community for guidance:

  I hope that clarifies things.
