Support » Plugins » Description not showing in Google results

  • Hi,

    I’ve just tried to set my seo settings with “all in one seo”-plugin as well as “Yoast”. I deactivated “All in One-plugin” first before using Yoast. But with both plugins, the description tag is not showing in the Google results.
    I know it will propably have something to do with my theme? But I’m not sure what to do.
    In the google results the description keeps saying:
    “Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!”

    This is what my header-code says:

    <head>
            <meta charset="UTF-8" />
