    So after more than 5 years having no problems, since a few days Google is not showing anymore the meta description we set in Yoast.

    How is this possible? It is showing a random sentence from the content, how do we change this back?

    The description you enter in our snippet preview is a suggestion for Google. If you’ve crafted awesome descriptions for your blog posts, nothing is more annoying than Google showing another description for your site in the search results.

    Google’s generation of page description is completely automated. Google’s goal is to best represent and describe each result. They use a number of different sources to get this information. In doing so, they try to make the search results as relevant as possible. Due to this being handled on Google’s end, there is little you can do to force Google to display your preferred description.

    We have an extensive knowledge base article which can help you understand why Google is showing the wrong description for your site. Please refer to this article for additional details.
