Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about VS Meta Description

The plugin will use the website language, set in Settings > General. If translations are not available in the selected language, English will be used.

The meta description will be added to the head section of your website.

Because search engines such as Google and Bing recommend a meta description length roughly between 120 and 160 characters. If your meta description is too short it may be ignored in favour of one that is generated by the search engine. And if your meta description is too long it may be cut off.

After adding or changing a meta description it can take up to several weeks before search engines such as Google and Bing have indexed your website again. But a search engine can also decide not to use it, if your meta description does not match the requirements.

Probably the checkbox to display the relevant box in the editor is not checked.

This section is only available if WooCommerce is installed and active.

If you have an active plugin (or theme) that also contains a meta description feature, don't activate or use this feature.

The version number won't give you info about the type of update (major, minor, patch). You should check the changelog to see whether or not the update is a major or minor one.
