Dear tr1ckzo,
The meta description that is used on the homepage is as follows:
Gazetagraczy.pl – wiadomo?ci ze ?wiata gier, promocje, darmowe gry, poradniki, recenzje. Zapraszamy.
So that seems to be in order although there are two of the same meta descriptions. Search engines can usually handle that but I would try to fix that so that there is only one.
Then for the reason that Google is not picking up your description:
– Did you allow enough time for Google to pick-up this description? Changes that you make on your website will take time to reflect on Google (and other search engines) so you might check later to see if it worked. You can also register for Google Webmaster Tools / Search Console and ask Google to fetch your pages – which might speed up the process.
– Furthermore Google considers descriptions but may generate a description on its own if it thinks it will better suit the user. So even if you configure everything correctly, Google may create its own alternative and there is simply nothing you can do about that.
Last but not least I want to add, just for your information, that meta descriptions are not (direct) ranking factors for Google. However, as a good written description usually increases the Click-Through-Rate (CTR) it is always good to optimize that and persuade searchers to click.
Hope this explanation helps. If it does, please mark this topic as resolved.
Kind regards,
CS_WordPress
