In this method we solve the problem by using the default setting given in Joomla. The key factor is that in Global Configuration Metadata setting we specify the a) Global Site Meta Description and b) Global Site Meta Keywords. And hence the same is automatically applicable to all our pages. But to give individual a) Global Site Meta Description and b) Global Site Meta Keywords to each page in Joomla just follows the below instructions.
-
