    Hello,

    the meta description showed by the search engine is false. I use YOAST plugin (tried also to deactivate it to see if there was the problem, but there was no progress) and i also put the same text (i checked also the lenght of the text and think it should be ok) in the meta description field of the Lay Theme Options.
    Also in the search engine there is the description 'front page made with Lay Theme', which i would like it to disappear.

    Could someone please assist?
    Thanks a lot in advance.

        hi you need to wait for google to update your meta description.

        this might take some time.

        also if you use YOAST
        you need to set your frontpage in "settings" -> "reading"

        make sure the same frontpage is set in customize -> frontpage

        now when editing that page make sure the correct meta description is in there

        I believe these instructions are also in a notification I added to lay theme in either "plugins" or "lay options" when yoast is activated

        also the website description meta tag that your screenshot shows will not be in use if you have yoast activated to prevent duplicate meta tags.
        you'll have to do the above and enter the text of your screenshot to the yoast meta tag of your frontpage.

        I also code custom websites or custom Lay features.

        Before you post:
        1. When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
        2. Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
        3. Disable all Plugins
        4. Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"

        This often solves issues you might run into

        When you post:
        1. Post a link to where the problem is
        2. Does the problem happen on Chrome, Firefox, Safari or iPhone or Android?
        3. If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it
