How-To Add SEO to Front Page

  • I have the SEO plugin by Yoast, but I don’t see a “Home” page in my dashboard to add the SEO information to. Google is showing my snippet & metatag description as the “Sample Page.”

    How can I change this? If I need to make alterations to the CSS, please give me step by step instructions on the safest way to do this – preferably using the theme’s custom CSS feature, so the changes will stay after updates.

    Thanks!

  • Could you check under Settings >> Reading in the WordPress dashboard and see if “Front Page Displays” is set as either “Your latest posts” or “Static Page”.

    If this is set as “Static Page” you can display any page you create as your home page. My assumption is you have this set as “Your latest posts” where it shows a listing of your blog posts.

    If this is the case, there won’t be a “home page” under pages for you to set your Yoast SEO info. With this, you will have to go into the Yoast settings under SEO >> Titles & Meta and click the Home Tab. Here you can enter the specific title and description for a home page that displays posts.
