Hi,

Thank you very much.

Hi,

Let's check this image when I viewsource your site:

Yoast SEO auto render your homepage description based on your page content - and of course, when you use page builder - everything from page content is shortcodes.

That's why you need to change it again to your description to replace with default render from Yoast SEO.

Hi,

1) I know that Yoast can be used to make individual descriptions. But I don't want to change the decription in general. I want to get rid of the shortcodes. For me this i s bug. The theme i used before didn't output any shortcodes at Google search results.

2) I already deleted the tweet and reposted it. Additionally i tried it with a second post. Some behavior.

Regards

Gregor

Hi,

1/ You can use Yoast SEO to change your homepage description on edit front-page

2/ You need to wait some days for Twitter update your site - It's not update instantly.

I now used Yoast SEO plugin and edited the twitter description. Same behavior, the text includes the VC shortcodes which should be hidden.

Hi Support Team,

when sharing a PenNews Post in Twitter and in the Google Search Results, i can see the VC Shortcodes. What could be the reason for this behavior?

Kind regards

Gregor
