Yoast SEO meta description is being ignored

jbn1981 · December 2019

When I type site:mysite.es at google bar, it shows correct title for all my pages but the description is just an excerpt of the page content, not my configured text at Yoast SEO.

EDIT: Now neither the title at my sites changes when I change it on Yoast SEO.

If I click on View page source on my page, I can see two <meta> elements with name and content attributes (could that be the problem?):

Besides, when typing site:mysite.es, I see all the results with the BeTheme predefined icon at the beggining, and not mine, but If I see the source code, it seems correct:

Thanks.

I'll respond you with solution on monday - I have to contact the developer team, but right now they are not available (weekend).

Thanks

Okay, my bad - sorry about that.

If you are using the external SEO plugin you should turn off the "Built In Fields" in the Theme Options > SEO

After that, everything will be okay.

Thanks for the quick response.

Ok, now I can see my Yoast SEO titles and descriptions when I type site:almacenamientoexterno.es at google navigation bar. But still, 2 errors:

1. BeTheme icon is showing instead of mine

2. The first question mark on the descriptions is missing (For example, instead of ¿Quieres adquirir...?, I see: Quieres adquirir...? That's wrong in spanish, my language.

Can you help me?

Thanks a lot.
