%%currentmonth%% displays as %currentmonth%% in meta description.

Sometimes strange behavior may be caused by a plugin or theme conflict. The fastest way to rule out conflicts is to deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme like Twenty Fourteen. If this resolves the issue, you have a conflict and should activate one plugin at a time until you locate the conflict. Finally, after all plugins are active, switch to your theme. This will narrow down the conflict to a specific plugin or a theme conflict.

If you are unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we wrote a small guide that will walk you through the steps. You can find it here: How To Check For Plugin Conflicts: https://kb.yoast.com/article/253-how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts

Hi Kim,

Thanks for getting back to me. I just tried turning off all plugins and reverting to the default wordpress theme but the issue still persists? Could it be a deactivated plugin?

Thanks,

Would you mind providing us with your blog URL?

Keep in mind that when you test for conflicts – you have to look at the source code of the website – to see how it’s being output.

Google will not change quickly so you can’t rely on a Google search to let you know if the plugins you’ve switched off have helped.

The site is greenflycoupons.com. I checked the source code after each change to check for changes but it still displays as %%currentmonth%% %%currentyear%% unfortunately.

Thanks,
