Greetings,
I have an issue regarding the Meta Description.
When I edit it and save it, its not showing on Google. The meta description that is shown on Google is the old one, i.e. the first sentence of the article. even when I am putting the stars rating for a review article, it is not showing on the search engines.
I need help solving this issue.

Hello,
Thanks for getting back to us.
We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section as well as some links to the affected pages/posts.
It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

We really look forward to helping you.
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.
Rank Math plugin adds the necessary markup for rich snippets. It may take some time before they show up in the search results, please allow a few days for Google to pick up the information.
Google will not necessarily show the rating stars, though, they check a few things first and may choose not to show, for instance, they check the overall quality of the site, and if the review content is representative of the main content of the page or not.
Here is a quote from one of the Google’s help article:
We perform algorithmic and manual quality checks to ensure that structured data meets relevancy standards. In cases where we see structured data that does not comply with these standards, we reserve the right to disable rich snippets for a site in order to maintain a high-quality search experience for our users. Read our webmaster guidelines for more details.

The meta description appear the same way they have been set on the backend when I check your posts. Here is a screenshot:
This is how the same post appears on the SERP:
The second affected link has not been crawled in a while and the changes should take effect once Google crawls your site:
Hope that helps. If you have any further question(s), please let us know. Thank you.
