[Plugin: WordPress SEO by Yoast] Meta Data not appearing properly to spiders

good question i had infact done a check on my site and it didn’t come up either, although one of my wp sites i have just put hard code in header.php. have you got a link url.

My site is:
https://www.tillhecomes.org

Actually, yoast.com doesn’t show up properly either, so it’s not just my site.

I tried this site that use the plugin:

https://vintage-ring.com/

I used these three spider test tools:

https://www.searchenginegenie.com/spider-test-tool/index.php
https://tools.seobook.com/general/spider-test/
https://tentblogger.com/spider/

Ok, well,

I let tentblogger know that his spider tool wasn’t showing meta data from WordPress SEO, and it is now working. I don’t know if he made a change to the tool or not…

But the other two tools I show above still are not showing the meta description or meta keywords properly.

I wish I knew whether or not the search engines saw this data properly.

I found out why some spider tools see the meta data and others do not. It has to do with single or double quote marks. Some spider tools only check the double quote mark spider data. Yoast uses single quotation meta data, which is not wrong, but some of these spider test tools don’t see it.

I trust that actual Search Engines read both…

Or…would it be possible to update your plugin so that the meta data is enclosed in double quote marks instead of single?
