To remove the meta title and description from the wp_head() function in WordPress, you can use the remove_action() function with the wp_head hook.

Here's an example code snippet that you can add to your theme's functions.php file:

1
2
3
4
5

function remove_meta_tags() {
    remove_action( 'wp_head', '_wp_render_title_tag', 1 );
    remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_meta_description', 10 );
}
add_action( 'init', 'remove_meta_tags' );

This code will remove both the title tag and the meta description tag from the wp_head() function. The first line removes the title tag, and the second line removes the meta description tag.

Note that removing the meta title and description tags may have an impact on your website's search engine optimization (SEO), so you should only remove them if you have a specific reason to do so.

It's important to note that modifying the wp_head() function and removing the meta title and description tags can affect your website's search engine optimization (SEO). These tags are crucial for search engines to understand the content and context of your pages.

If you still want to proceed with removing the meta title and description tags from the wp_head() function, you can use the following code:

1
2
3
4
5

function remove_meta_tags() {
    remove_action( 'wp_head', '_wp_render_title_tag', 1 );
    remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_meta_description', 10 );
}
add_action( 'init', 'remove_meta_tags' );

Add this code to your theme's functions.php or in a custom plugin file.

Remember, removing these tags may impact your website's SEO, and it's generally recommended to keep them unless you have a specific reason to remove them.

1. Open your theme's functions.php file.
2. Add the following code snippet to the functions.php file:

}
add_action( 'init', 'remove_meta_tags' );

Save the functions.php file and refresh your website to see the changes. The code will remove both the title tag and the meta description tag from the wp_head() function.
