Hello. Your plugin works great for all of our sites, but we’re struggling with one thing: the home page. The Yoast on-page settings work great for titles, keyword, description, etc., but we cannot get WordPress to use the on-page settings on our Home pages. It’s like they’re being overridden by whatever is in the General Settings for the WordPress install. How can we WordPress to use your plugin’s on-page settings instead? Hope you can help. Thanks!

Which on-page settings are you referring to? Could you please provide more information and some screenshots on what sort of settings you aren’t getting out of the Yoast SEO plugin?

Here’s an example. The Yoast settings are set to show this:

But when you do a search, Google shows this instead. It’s only the homepage that does this. We’ve removed the site name and taglines from WordPress settings, but still pulls through like this:
https://www.google.com/search?q=demlang+home+builders&oq=demlang+home+builders&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60.4247j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Appreciate the advice!

We looked at your provided screenshot and Google search results and we see that Google is modifying the homepage SEO title in the search results by moving the site name in front of the title. Google does this often when the site name in the last part of the homepage SEO title. So, you can edit your homepage SEO title to match how Google shows it in the search results.
