Hello there,
Apparently this is an issue with theme. My meta-description are not displayed on any code of my website with my post and pages.
Yoast say: Is the required WordPress function used by your theme?
Check your theme’s header.php file for a call to wp_head(). This function is required to output the Yoast SEO meta tags. If your theme does not include this function, please contact your theme developer to request compatibility with our plugin.
I have the follow notice in my code:
“<!– Admin only notice: this page does not show a meta description because it does not have one, either write it for this page specifically or go into the [SEO – Search Appearance] menu and set up a template. –>”
Please I need your ASAP help! My traffic is drop for it !
Thank you very much
Hi there,
Check your theme’s header.php file for a call to wp_head()
It's right here by default:

GP is absolutely compatible with Yoast - we are using it in this site. I would recommend following up with their support for a better answer,
Hi Leo,
Since I to change the theme to GP I have errors with the meta-description.
Before I used the Newspaper Theme and Yoast plugin working correctly.
Change your theme for the better and now I have not only errors with Yoast plugin but also with ads, etc.
I would describe more problems but the support does not allow creating more than 1 topic.
I read the persons with similar issues in the archives, you can see here: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/display-meta-description-of-the-page-post-on-the-page-header-element/page/2/
Please do not send me to Yoast support, because all I did was switch to Generatepress!
Thank you very much!
Hi Leo,
Sorry the problem is that not all my post have meta-description manually. So I add the tag: %%excerpt%% and all is ok now.
Thank you very much!
No problem :)
