    Hello,
    My recent SEO audit showed that on pages with the meta description set to %%excerpt%% no description was generated on the actual page. However, the excerpt is properly visible on frontend in the Yoast SEO box. Changing the snippet to actual text instead of %%excerpt%% works fine.

    I’ve seen some issues resolved previously on github. Is this issue back in the latest version?

    Might this have something to do with the work of another plugin?

    I’d like to figure out what is causing the issue.

    @panaceaoutfits Can you please confirm you are using the most recent Yoast v11.2? You can learn more about updating here: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-can-i-update-my-free-plugin/

    Can you confirm you are using WordPress 5.2? You can check by clicking on the W in the top left and selecting About. If you need to update, please check with your host provider. Please know that if you are using an older version of WordPress Core you may experience unexpected behavior with Yoast. This guide explains more: https://yoast.com/why-we-dont-support-old-wordpress-versions/
    ?
    ?If you update to the most current version of WordPress and Yoast SEO, does this resolve the issue?

    If the issue is still occurring after confirming both Yoast SEO and WordPress are updated, this may be due to a plugin or theme conflict. Can you try and gather as much information for us as possible? Please perform the following:

    1. Check for conflicts.
    2. Check for JavaScript errors with your console.
    If you find any JavaScript errors related to Yoast SEO or if there is a conflict with a plugin or a theme, you can create a new GitHub issue for our developers. Please report the issue to a third party developer as well.

    If you didn’t find any conflicts or errors, we think the issue is specific to your site. We’d need to investigate further but are unable to do so on these forums. You can purchase Yoast SEO Premium and receive our Premium email support and we can help you further.

    Hello, @devnihil
    Thank you for your reply.
    Yoast SEO is v11.2, WP is v5.2
    All other plugins also updated, no errors or conflicts whatsoever.
    I have no intention of purchasing your premium version, so if your best answer is that this issue is specific to my website – let it be – I was only looking to make your product a bit better with my feedback.

    Cheers!
