Do I need meta descriptions for category pages in Wordpress?

Do I need meta descriptions for category pages in Wordpress? They show up as errors in the Moz site audit. What should I do about it?
Thanks,

Hi Jarod,
What you should be asking yourself is whether you need those pages to be indexable and having information available to Google.
If you don't want them to rank well, they probably won't need any meta description. Remember that if a page has no meta description, Google will take some of its content and place it as meta description.On a side note, Moz reports will show errors and analyze every page that you have enabled to be indexable.
Also, you can choose to ignore what Moz's report tells you. You might probably know more about your site than Moz.Best luck.
Hope I helped.

Hi, I'm looking to find out why a google+ account that was rarely used has 10,000 views. I want to discover what sites it is linked to. I entered the page url but no joy. can anyone help?
I would like to find out where all this traffic is coming from. It is most likely from an out of date sales site etc, but it's important to find out as it could be the result of hacking etc. It appears the page is linked to another site and I would like to find out which one(s) Entering the page url is not getting results, can anyone help?

I am new to MOZ, I set up one tracking campaign two weeks ago, I have tracked no keywords, I have done some keyword research for ranking difficulty and in two weeks I have already hit 50K pages crawled, I'm maxed out, is this common?
I am a startup and can't afford the higher plans yet. And even their highest plan is 600K pages crawled, which seems really low considering how lightly I used the tool and how quickly I hit 50K. Does anyone have any advice or information on how they use the tool on lower packages? Did I do something wrong to hit 50K pages crawled that fast? Does this pricing make any sense, it seems like an incredibly high price, I love the tool, any help is appreciated.
