Rank Math Title/Meta Description Issue

    Hey guys, I’ve recently inherited SEO responsibilities for spiritleaf.ca and my first move was to switch them from Yoast to Rank Math.

    However, the meta descriptions aren’t working properly. I can see the meta description from Rank Math in the source code, but Google is saying it is missing in both Search Console and on web.dev/measure

    There is an empty meta description tag in the head (_template.php), I believe Yoast was overriding that tag and adding its own. I’m not sure how Rank Math handles this but should I inject Rank Math’s description value into that empty tag?

    I was also wondering if it might work to just remove that empty meta tag in template.php incase Rank Math sees that tag and thinks it’s an override so doesn’t mess with it.

    Here’s the code for the empty meta description tag from the template.php:

       <title><?php print( wp_title() ); ?></title>
    <meta name="description" content=""><?php

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math.

    The access provided seems to be limited so I was not able to look into this from my end. However, you can remove the empty description meta in your theme and check if this allows Rank math t add its meta description to your page. If the issue persists, please elevate the access so we can investigate this further.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
