    Hello,
    While optimizing the SEO of my website with the Yoast plugin, it dosen’t seem to work for my front static page.
    It says the meta description empty whereas it is not, I have wrote in a text… “No meta description has been specified, search engines will display copy from the page instead.”
    For all the other pages it is fine, so must I configure it somewhere else for the front page ? In the header.php ?
    Thanks very much for your help

    Hi Amanda!

    You may need to not use the theme’s front page/blog page settings and instead use WordPress Settings>Reading for where your home page and blog page are.

    Cheers!

    Hello
    I have done what you mention but it still doesn’t seem to work.
    My description is saved and appears when I open the code source of my site but the “Page Analysis” of the wordpress seo by yoast at the bottom of the front page still indicates : No meta description has been specified, search engines will display copy from the page instead.
    The keyword / phrase conseil does not appear in the page title.” > There is a meta descritption and the the keyword does appear in the title…
    Thanks again

    It seems to be in conflict with the “blog posts”, the latest posts feature from the Avia layout builder, I have the same problem on another page and when I remove the blog posts it is fine !
    What other plugin could I use to replace this ?

    There isn’t really a solution for that since what is happening is the plugin doesn’t realize there is content on the page. As long as its in the source then it will work. The plugin will just not register the content because the blog element is a query not raw content or text.
