    Hi,

    I was wondering if anyone else is having a problem with google and other search engines not displaying the correct meta description for their site?

    I have the meta description filled into the Yoast SEO -> Search appearance “meta description” section and search engines are just putting a random entry into the meta description when the site gets searched.

    I looked at the source code and it said:
    Admin only notice: this page doesn't show a meta description because it doesn't have one, either write it for this page specifically or go into the SEO -> Search Appearance menu and set up a template.

    Since that is filled out I have no idea what could be wrong.

    My site gets searched daily as it is a Google news source and it has been weeks since it was changed. Any ideas?

    Hey robsdesigns,
    Since to are using Yoast you should have a Yoast box at the bottom of each page to add keywords and meta description.
    For the homepage, go to SEO > Titles & Metas page and then click on the “Homepage” tab. Here you can add a custom title, description, and meta keywords for your site’s homepage.
    Here is a good article: How to Add Keywords and Meta Descriptions in WordPress
    Please let us know if this helps.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Hi Mike, Yeah. That is what I have added in a few weeks back, but it for some reason has not updated.

    Hi,
    I took a look at your settings and homepage, and found that editing the yoast snippet box below your advanced layout builder I was able to enter your description. Please see screenshot in Private Content area.
    I then tested with Analyse Metadata and found it is working.
    Please review the description and add some keywords.
    I’m not sure if this is a issue or the way yoast works now, I’m not a yoast expert. But I do see a warning on the yoast plugin main page about a conflict with another plugin, please check and possibly try disabling other plugins to test.
    I guess what is important is that it is working now.

    Best regards,
    Mike
