    Hi SP team!

    I have emailed about this to your support team but still need a little more help so said I'd open it up here and benefit others.

    I am using Yoast and I want to make use of their SEO green light plugin functionality. The recommended settings for Yoast is to leave the category and tag archives to be discoverable by search engines. I am concerned that ill get dinged for duplicate content if I fill out both the WP default description fields and Genesis Archive fields.

    I was advised by your team that the Genesis archive fields impact SEO the same way as the description fields ... so following that logic, would I leave all fields filled in OR do I copy and paste from the description fields and only use the archive fields?

    Thanks

    Genesis includes code which deactivates the Genesis SEO fields when Yoast is active. On top of this, you can remove the output for other fields using custom code.

    I would try using the Yoast fields only and check the output.
