Meta description disappeared even though it is present in the page rank math settings.

Hello, we apologize for the issue you are facing with the meta description disappearing. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot this problem:
-
Check Your Schema Settings: Ensure that the settings in Rank Math’s Schema tab for the post or page are correct. The Headline should show %seo_title% and the Description should show %seo_description%. This ensures that your SEO title and description are used in the structured data.
-
Verify Page Source Code: Check if your title and description are correctly set in the page’s source code. You can do this by right-clicking on your page and selecting View page source. Look for the meta description tag to confirm it matches what you set in Rank Math.
-
Check Google Indexing: Sometimes, the latest version of your page hasn’t been indexed by Google yet. You can check this by using the URL Inspection Tool in Google Search Console. Enter your page’s URL and check the Last Crawl date. If it’s before your changes, you can request indexing to prompt Google to re-crawl your page.
-
Understand Google’s Display Choices: Even after confirming everything is set correctly, Google may still choose to display a different meta title or description based on what it considers more relevant to the search intent. This is beyond our control, as search engines automatically determine what to display.
If you’ve gone through these steps and the issue persists, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!

Google Shows A Different Meta Title/Description For My Site » Rank MathHello,
We’ve checked your homepage, and indeed the meta description tag is not showing.
In this case, assuming you are using the latest version of all the plugins and the themes (please update if not yet), this can be caused by conflicting plugins/theme on your site.
To determine that, please follow this troubleshooting guide:
