    Hello,

    I have a website called Mechanic In A Can (mechanicinacan.com) that runs on the pinboard theme. I recently installed WordPress SEO by Yoast. Now, when I search under “Mechanic In A Can” for my website, the search result gives a content summary for the homepage that is a slurred mix of the menu tabs. How do I correct this. It should say: “Save time and money with automotive tasks that you CAN DO yourself”. (I have now put this into the Title Homepage Meta description template in SEO Yoast settings.) I also added this into my header.php:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
    <head>
    <meta type=”description” value=”Save time and money with automotive tasks that you CAN DO yourself”>
    <meta charset=”<?php bloginfo(‘charset’); ?>” />
    <meta name=”viewport” content=”width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0″ />
    <title><?php wp_title(); ?></title>
    <link rel=”profile” href=”https://gmpg.org/xfn/11&#8243; />
    <link rel=”pingback” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘pingback_url’); ?>” />
    <?php wp_head(); ?>
    </head>

    <body <?php body_class() ?>>
    <div id=”wrapper”>
    <header id=”header”>

    Any insight is appreciated!!

    Thanks,
    Brian

    Got it!! In the event someone researches this on their own, I initially put it here and it didn’t work:

    <head>
    <meta type=”description” value=”Save time and money with automotive tasks that you CAN DO yourself”>

    Next, i put it down under the second “/head” here and it worked:

    </head>
    <meta type=”description” value=”Save time and money with automotive tasks that you CAN DO yourself”>
