Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.
I’ve already replied to your other ticket with the same issue. Rank Math’s already inputting the correct meta description in your page’s source code.
It is still possible for Google to choose to show a different meta title/description for your search keyword. There is nothing you can do as Google sometimes ignores the custom meta information altogether and show something from the page’s content that matches the search intent better.
Here’s a link for more information:

I hope that helps.
Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance with anything else.
Hi Reinelle,
Thanks for your help, and your clarification about Google’s search engines sometimes choosing something from the page rather than the given Description.
And – actually this is not the same issue as in my first email. My question here is why the Description comes up correctly when doing a search on my computer, but comes up incorrectly when I search on my phone.
Is there a way to confirm the Description for the phone?
Thanks,
Karen
Hello,
I was able to check that the meta description is the same on both the computer and the mobile search results. Please check the screenshots that I have attached in the sensitive data section.
Please check and let us know if you need any other assistance.
Thanks.
Hello Jaideep,
Thanks for your reply.
For some reason, on my phone the text comes up differently -? Have you ever had this issue before?
I have a question about the third item on the phone screenshot you sent me. I do not want my user name and a blank blog page to show at all! This is an important issue for me. How can we make sure this never appears?

Hello,
It can happen sometimes as it is completely up to Google what description they want to show based on the location, device, and search term. The meta description tag is set correctly, so there is nothing that needs to be done from your side.
And to deindex author archives from the search results, please navigate to WP Dashboard > Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Authors. There you can either disable the author archives or simply set the Author Robots Meta to Noindex.
It will take some time for Google to identify these changes and remove the author archive from the search results.
Hope this helps. Let us know if you need any other assistance.
Thanks.
