# Wrong title / description in Google

* [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-title-description-in-google/)
* WordPress version: WordPress 3.5.1
WordPress SEO version: 1.4.1
* I did this:
* We have a problem with the indexation of our website [http://www.hengelsportdeal.com](http://www.hengelsportdeal.com)
in Google.
* I expected the plugin to do this:
* For example this page: [http://www.hengelsportdeal.com/karperhengels/](http://www.hengelsportdeal.com/karperhengels/)
* The Yoast title and description that u used (for this page) are:
* SEO title: **Karperhengels | Informatie over soorten karperhengels**SEO description:**
Karperhengels zijn er in vele soorten en maten. Daarom moet je bij de aanschaf
van een karperhengel eerst weten op welke manier je wilt gaan vissen.**
* Instead it did this (when i search for this url in Google):
* SEO title: **Karperhengels – Hengelsportdeal.com**
SEO description: **Karperhengels
zijn er in vele soorten en maten. Daarom moet je bij de aanschaf … Go to: [http://www.facebook.com/hengelsportdeal](http://www.facebook.com/hengelsportdeal).
Skip to content. Dagdeals …**
* Can someone please help me with this problem and explain what to do?
* Thanks in advance!
* Niels

* It’s strange because the source code for the page looks like this:
*
Karperhengels | Informatie over soorten karperhengels
* Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
* I have tried a lot of things but nothing seems to work..:(

* If I were you I would download the old version (1.3.4.4, it think this is the
last version that worked or me).
* After I downloaded this old version everything worked again.

* Do you know where i can download this version (1.3.4.4)?
* I’d rather like to know what the cause of the problem is instead of using an
old version.

* You can download the old version here: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-seo/developers/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-seo/developers/)
* I understand that you want to have a fixed version instead of an old one, but
for a fix we have to wait for the developer to do something…

* Will removing the Yoast plugin and installing the old plugin delete all my settings?
I’d have to go in and re-type all the Meta Description/Keywords for every page?

* If you open the plugin map in a FTP client (for example FileZilla) and overwrite
that map with the old plugin, your settings will remain.

* I overwrite the plugin map with the old version, but it didn’t work. In the WordPress
admin it still says i’m using the new version (1.4.1).. very strange.

* Strange. It worked for me. Thank you THWIT for all your help.
* Now it’ll take some time for Google to parse the changes, so crossing fingers
that it works great.
* Hope you didn’t mind me jumping into the conversation, Niels, as I, too had the
same issue.

* No problem robertallen! Did you already see some (title) changes in Google? Unfortunately
i still can’t overwrite the plugin map, does anybody know how to do this?
* Will this title problem be solved in the new version and when can we expect a
fix?
