Bug: site description doesn't work

Hi,

I added a site description in wp-admin/options-general.php but it doesn’t show up at gadgetgoeroe.nl.

I’ve removed it, saved and then added it again but no solution. Any tip to solve this? Thanks.

Hi, I have Yoast installed. If I click the option to change the ‘blog title’, it brings me to the default page of Yoast plugin 🙁

I’ve installed your template on another host without Yoast and there it worked like a charm. Do you have an idea what’s the solution here? Thx.

@zeus
not sure this helps:
1) go to your WP admin, left side under Settings > General
2) on the ‘general’ page you can set your blog title (name) and short description
( Use this instead of Theme > customizer > tagline )

Sometimes this will not work from the theme customizer panel, due to ownership permissions of the site (e.g., if WP installed from hosting panel vs from FTP manually).

With YOAST SEO, you can “also” override, or add to that by going to, from WP admin, left side
SEO > Titles and Metas > Home Tab
here you can enter meta description and keywords (if you have keywords ‘on’ in Yoast).

Hope that helps.

Hi Christopher,

Thanks for your thorough explanation. Much appreciated.

Unfortunately it doesn’t work. It’s as if my WP is crippled.
Clicking on that link in Yoast brings back the General tab. :/

Is there a manual way to hack this into some code?

hi Marius,

I sent you the details last week. I’m curious if your investigation has brought up the root cause.
Thanks.
