 * I have several wordpress sites, but for some reason on this one at the end of
   my blog post/website page there is no option to add a meta description for the
   page. I have an updated version of wordpress as well as Yoast SEO. Has anyone
   encountered this and been able to fix it?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcannot-add-meta-description%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * [@lcuser](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lcuser/) To set the Meta Description
   for your page you would need to perform the following actions:
    -  In WordPress, go to the Edit screen for a page/post
       Scroll down to the Yoast
      meta box Click on ‘Edit Snippet’ Input a page description into the ‘Meta Description’
      box Click ‘Update’ to save the changes to the page/post
 * We also have additional directions for editing these settings located at the
