    Hi,
    Although the meta descriptions show green ticks for my website pages, they include Visual Composer shortcodes which will look unsightly in Google Search, when I remove the VC shortcode from the meta description, the SEO analysis shows a red exclamation mark. I want both a good SEO reading and no visual composer shortcode showing in the meta description, please advise.

    Thanks. ??

    Hi Kiwi, all the shortcodes should be parsed in the front end (not in the live preview) correctly. There might be a bug on that. Let me check that again.

    Sorry, I don’t really understand what you mean, the shortcodes all appear in the back meta title and description, would they show up in the google search pages on the front?

    On the front end, all the shortcodes will be parsed and display correctly. So it’s not a big problem.

    On the back end, live previewing shortcodes might have some technical challenge. I’ll work on that.

    Sorry, what I want to clarify is that when the website is submitted to Google, will the shortcodes showing in the back end, show up on google’s snippets when people view the site pages on Google?

    The shortcodes you see in the back end will be “parsed” before showing on the front end (and Google will see the parsed content).

    So, if the back end you enter: [my_shortcode]

    Then in the search results, you’ll see “Something like this, which is parsed from the shortcode, not the raw shortcode”.

    I see, thanks for your patience, I’m new at this SEO kind of stuff. ??
