That is the same problem I am having, and though I am clueless how to fix it, I may know what is causing it.

In my Theme Framework Options — in my case it is WPZOOM — the SEO enable button built into the theme is unchecked, because that’s what it tells you to do if you are using the Yoast SEO plugin.

But my site “Meta Description” is written into that area of the Theme Framework, and I think it is disabling it, then including text from whatever new posts I publish.

A little help here Yoast!

Hope that helps you too, maybe. And if you figure it out, then please let me know.

This remedy worked for me, as well.

Well, your code suggestion definately fixed the “Home” snippet in all of the search engines, but Posts themselves are still not correct. I checked the “Force Retitle” button, and am wondering if I should maybe uncheck it. This is what I have for posts:

%%title%% %%page%% %%sep%% %%sitename%%

That should be right, but maybe I just need to be more patient? It has to be something so little and stupid. The header looks good. Then again, I think it does.

Thanks Tom,
Should I resubmit the url to Google too, then? Maybe it’s a stupid question, but I am relatively new to WP.

Ok. I put that in the Home tab, and the header.php was good already. Before I change it over to what you suggested, something did change, but to “Page” (space) “Site Name” on the Contact page. But on posts, the Site Name was still before the posts without a space between Site Name and Post Title. Since I changed it t your suggestion, the snippet looks right, so I guess I should wait to see Google and others. I am going to reintroduce a site map and see.

That is a good point. I should have put it, so I will try to be detailed. But no, I didn’t know that it doesn’t show right away. Can you tell me where I look in my editor to see that change?

Here are the settings, which I actually put back as they were, and I think enough space is there but IDK:

HOME: %%sitename%% %%sep%% %%sitedesc%%

POSTS, PAGES, MEDIA (POST TYPES): %%title%% %%page%% %%sep%% %%sitename%%

TAXONOMIES (ALL): %%term_title%% Archives %%page%% %%sep%% %%sitename%%

I hope that makes sense. Thank you for trying to help.
