    @amboutwe Thanks for the advice. I’ll review my meta descriptions, make some tweaks and hope for the best.

    @pcosta88 Thanks for the further explanation. Sadly, the issue is not resolved. I’ve run sample URLs through Google Console including an article that’s just recently published and showing in Google (meta is not showing still, just the first few lines of the article, as explained in this thread).

    I don’t know if this is helpful but here’s what the URL inspection tool shows as the data below. In this example, I’ve used apostrophes in the meta which I don’t know is a black mark?

    Either way, I guess Google is ignoring my meta descriptions. Which presumably is a considerable SEO backward step….

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang=”en-GB” prefix=”og: https://ogp.me/ns#”><head >

    <meta name=”viewport” content=”width=device-width, initial-scale=1″ />
    <title>National Village Cup: Houghton Main rebuild | Cricket Yorkshire</title>
    <meta property=”og:locale” content=”en_GB” />
    <meta property=”og:type” content=”article” />
    <meta property=”og:title” content=”National Village Cup: Houghton Main rebuild | Cricket Yorkshire” />
    <meta property=”og:description” content=”The National Village Cup is a big deal for Yorkshire cricket clubs. We talk to Houghton Main's Michael Bates on making it to Lord's and all change for 2020.” />

    Thanks for the explanation @devnihil – I’ll review some of my meta descriptions but they’re generally pretty specific to the article itself. Hard to see how to write them much differently.

    Out of interest, it looks like my meta descriptions are being ignored en masse across the website. In your view, is that uncommon? I just want to discount anything I’m doing.

    maurizio04, Can I ask – would altering base.css be applicable to pages too? I’m changing the code of my site for the first time so a little anxious as complete newbie.

    I’d like to change font size and type of my page headings (My site is )

    thanks in advance…

    mc_nate, thanks a million for the super-quick reply and having followed your advice, all is restored and I can breathe a huge sigh of relief.

    The plugin was the latest in the WP directory, Mailchimp by James Lafferty, version 0.8.

    Thanks again.

    Hi JillW & mc_nate, I’ve just tonight had the same problem as Jill with fatal error msg concerning the latest version of WordPress and latest Mailchimp plugin. It occurred when I uploaded the mailchimp plugin:

    Fatal error: Class ‘NS_Widget_MailChimp’ not found in /home7/crickety/public_html/wp-includes/widgets.php on line 325

    Jill mentions: ‘get in to the folder on the server and delete the mailchimp plugin’ – as a novice, I’m in widgets.php but unsure what to delete, the whole file or certain lines of code? tried deleting line 325 but that just prompts another line deletion.

    Launching cricket site monday and it has now disappeared, any help would ease the blood pressure! Thanks, John/CricketYorkshire
