 * Hi, I was reading this blog which talks about SEO and HOW TO AUTO GENERATE META
   DESCRIPTION TAG IN WORDPRESS BLOGS. It mentions entering %%excerpt%% in title
   and meta description to auto generate, Yoast will start generating meta-description
   automatically.

 * Is this correct?

 * [@staffordshire](https://wordpress.org/support/users/staffordshire/) The Yoast
   SEO plugin does have the ability to generate the title and meta description settings
   through the use of template settings in SEO>Search Appearance. We also have additional
   information on using the template variables as well as a full list of which variables
   are available for use at the following link: [https://kb.yoast.com/kb/yoast-wordpress-seo-titles-metas-template-variables/](https://kb.yoast.com/kb/yoast-wordpress-seo-titles-metas-template-variables/)
