 * The snippet previews for each page are now showing Elementor CSS instead of the
   correct page content preview.

 * Hi [@simonjonharding](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simonjonharding/),
 * Please know our plugin cannot parse the shortcode in the snippet preview. However,
   this shortcode is automatically parsed in the source code of your webpage as 
   seen here – [https://a.supportally.com/i/8RpFEy](https://a.supportally.com/i/8RpFEy)
   which has the correct meta description.
 * Please let me know if you have any other questions.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi.
 * Thanks for your reply.
   Firstly, *Run Shortcodes* is set to off in the AIOSEO 
   settings.Secondly, I have manually entered a meta description for each page now
   in order to get around the issue.If I use the “Page Content” tag, rather than
   pulling the first few characters from the page content it instead displays Elementor
   CSS. In this example I have used the “Page Content” tag to demonstrate: [https://eurovisionshow.uk/sitemap/](https://eurovisionshow.uk/sitemap/)
 * Obvioulsy I can manually enter a description for this page too – but I wanted
   to highlight the error when using the tag.

 * Hi [@simonjonharding](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simonjonharding/),
 * Thanks for the follow-up.
 * In checking that page URL, the Meta Description contains only text – 
   [https://a.supportally.com/i/a6da8V](https://a.supportally.com/i/a6da8V)
 * The shortcodes will only be displayed in the editor (Snippet Preview) and will
   not be in your published page source code.
 * If you could share a URL where the Meta Description contains markup in the page
   source code, I would be happy to take a look at it.
 * Thanks!

   close this thread for now. But if you’d like us to assist, please feel welcome
   to continue the conversation.
