Could you provide us a screenshot of what you’ve entered in the meta description field in the Yoast SEO meta box when editing that page? You can use a service such as snipboard.io or imgur.com to upload a screenshot and share a link here with us. * Please also check this article for more information – [https://yoast.com/help/im-not-seeing-a-meta-description-in-my-head-section/](https://yoast.com/help/im-not-seeing-a-meta-description-in-my-head-section/) * Thread Starter [alauer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alauer/) * (@alauer) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/description-missing-although-set/#post-15221587) * Hi, the situation changed and the issue goes like this: I cant remove the description i added manually yesterday * Here is a video: [video src="https://hausarzt-schaefer.de/files/yoast.mp4" /] * kind regards axel * Plugin Support [Michael Tiña](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikes41720/) * (@mikes41720) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/description-missing-although-set/#post-15226735) * Hi [@alauer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alauer/) * We understand that you’re trying to remove the meta description and update the changes, but it results in the meta description value returning, even after saving. * Often, we see problems occur in combination with another plugin or theme. The fastest way to rule out any conflict, is to **deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme** like [Twenty Twenty](https://wordpress.org/themes/twentytwenty/). * Please test this on your development or staging site, if you have one. If not, we recommend using the [Health Check & Troubleshooting](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/) plugin. This plugin has a troubleshooting mode, which **does not affect normal visitors to your site**. * If you’re unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we’d like to point you to a step-by-step guide that will walk you through the process: [How to check for plugin conflicts](https://yoast.com/help/how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts/) * If you do not feel comfortable to do this yourself or if this does not solve your issue, our [Yoast SEO Premium plugin](https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo/) comes with one year of (technical) support. * [devnihil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devnihil/) * (@devnihil) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/description-missing-although-set/#post-15249270) * We are going ahead and marking this issue as resolved due to inactivity.
