Meta Description

The meta description for this page is: “Welcome to the Kenton Hardin Health Department serving Hardin County Ohio and surrounding areas. We offer many public health services, visit our site for more information and to contact our offices.”

Is this not what you have set it to be?

If a caption for gallery is showing as meta description, some other plugin (or theme) must be responsible. You might get two tags with meta description if you use two different plugins to generate it. I dont now if the theme OceanWP also creates meta description.

Ok so I see that it shows that tag in an internet search I should have been more descriptive… this was a Facebook post. I’m very elementary in this website and meta description, do they take their information from a different area of the page?

I dont know what Facebook use. Yoast SEO has some help with that and there are other seo plugins. If you install a seo plugin you should deactivate Easy WP Meta Description or you will get double meta descriptions,

Easy WP Meta Description does only one thing. It adds this tag to the html-code head:
<meta name="description" value="">
and let you take control of the text in value. The main purpose is to control how Google present the web page. That is the text below the link in the search result.

I think what you need is to add open graph markup. See Facebook’s Guide to sharing.
You can do that with Yoast or some open graph plugin. Search for open graph in the plugin directory.

The Open Graph Protocol seems to be what Facebook uses to decide how to present posts.
