For some reason my site has the following code showing in the serps….
av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
It does not show on every page. It is the exact same problem mentioned in this thread https://kriesi.at/support/topic/google-search-results-av_textblock-other-code-as-the-description/ but the solution was never posted so I have no idea why some SERPs show this code and others don’t.
Any advice or support you could offer would be very appreciated

Hi!
Ask google to re-crawl the page. It will re-index the page and get the correct page meta description: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6065812?hl=en

Thanks for that. Will do it now. Do you have any information as to why this has happened? It seems to be affecting some pages but not all. It would be useful to know what to do (or not do!) to avoid this problem in the future.
Hi!
The search engine probably found or crawled the page before you added the correct page description. While you’re still working on the site, try to set the page to noindex or set the robot.txt to disallow crawlers. More info here:
