• If you want to copy your meta descriptions from Yoast to post excerpt you can use SQL.

    To compare excerpt and Yoast mesta description:

    SELECT t1.ID, t1.post_title, t1.post_excerpt, t2.meta_key, t2.meta_value
    FROM wp_posts AS t1 
    	INNER JOIN wp_postmeta AS t2 ON t1.ID = t2.post_id
    	WHERE t2.meta_key = '_yoast_wpseo_metadesc'

    And to copy from Yoast to excerpt:

    UPDATE wp_posts as t1 INNER JOIN wp_postmeta AS t2 ON t1.ID = t2.post_id
    SET t1.post_excerpt = t2.meta_value
    WHERE t2.meta_key = '_yoast_wpseo_metadesc'

    Hi,

    Thanks for this. As you know VSMD uses the default excerpt field of posts/pages.
    If you only need a meta description, Yoast is overkill of course.
