Page Title & Meta Description Editing

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 11

Hi

I know this is pretty basic stuff but I created my site on Elementor and then had a company redesign my site and convert to Tag Div Newspaper. Unfortunately, I am not working with this company any more and am trying to figure out some issues following an audit of my site.

One of the issues is my poor page title and meta description.

I want to edit it but I cannot find where this information is stored in the dashboard. I also use Yoast.

Can anyone point me in the direction please as I have gone through the menu and am so frustrated I cannot find this ?? All help appreciated.

Thanks

Rupert

Hello,

The theme has its own page builder, and you can add the page title with Tagdvi Composer on each page.
Also, for seo please check those guides https://yoast.com/meta-descriptions/ -> https://yoast.com/help/how-to-modify-default-snippet-templates-in-yoast-seo/

Thank you!

Hi

Thanks for your reply. I have managed to make some progress but have now run into another issue. I managed to find the Yoast SEO inspector and hoped that by EDITING I could update the home page and other pages.

I ran into an issue with the page freezing and searching online I went through a process of clearing three sections within Tools/Yoast Test :

1. Reset Prominent Words calculation
2. Reset Seo roles and capabilities.
3. Reset Internal Link Test

I then re ran the seo optimisation but am experiencing the same issues of a frozen page.

Can anyone help so I can edit my PAGE TITLES AND META DESCRIPTIONS on my home page and other pages. Posts are not an issue.

If I uninstall YOAST will I lose work ??

Hope to hear from you soon

Hi,

I recommend using the classic editor and not Gutenberg for this until we make a new update to the theme because there is an issue with the Yoast plugin. The update will be soon.

Thank you!

Hi

So there is a problem after all. That is kind of satisfying as I thought I was going crazy.

OK hopefully the last request – how do I access the classic editor (I dont use Gutenburg or Elementor – its WordPress.org/TagDiv/Newspaper/Yoast ) as in my PAGES there is no option that I can see to do this? It is so different from POSTS which is so easy! I can see classic editor when in the Yoast Front End Inspector as it slowly freezes but I am guessing you are trying to direct me somewhere else?

Can you help because as you may recall I did not create my site and the guy who did has gone AWOL so I am a little lost just now trying to complete what is an extremely basic simple task to update my Page title and meta description of my home page.

Many thanks

Rupert

Hi,

You need to install a plugin called classic editor https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/
