Same description for all pages

    Hi, when I search our company name in Google I see that all pages are shown in Google search with the exact same meta description. A text that is taken from a block in our footer (about our company). I am pretty sure this was not the behavior maybe a year ago or so.. but I can be wrong.

    I have added custom meta title and description to (almost) every page, why does it not get picked up at all? I know Google often make up their own text choice, but if so it should not be the same text for every page?

    Is it possible I may have clicked, or un-clicked, some basic settings for the plugin??

    Or is Google “angry” with me because many of my pages do have a red warning for the meta title being too short? So maybe Google will ignore and skip all of my meta inputs, including description?!

    (I guess I have to and will go over every page and re-write every meta input either way.)

    Hello!

    Sorry for my belated reply.

    Could you please share a link to your site so I can inspect the metadata?
    Perhaps the theme or another plugin is outputting conflicting metatags. Maybe TSF takes the footer for description generation erroneously (HTML5 semantics prevent this, such as wrapping the footer with the <footer> tag). But, I cannot confidently say without a link.

    If you want to be proactive, you can use the advanced data-nosnippet attribute on content you do not wish to have used as a description. This may require custom development. To learn more, see https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/robots/robots_meta_tag#data-nosnippet-attr.
