NOT: Metadata Settings
  • Site Meta Description. This is the description of the site which is indexed by search engine spiders.
  • Site Meta Keywords. These keywords describe the site and are the basis for improving the ability of search engine spiders ability to index the site.

I mean that in the global configuration, the description I set is "Shop IDI Fashion offers the latest women's clothing. " But, the real site displays <meta name="description" content="idi clothing, woman clothing wholesalers - Offers women's Fashion at wholesale closeout prices." />.

I can publicly edit your about page. Just deleted the last word.

You shouldn't use the global meta tags anyway. Use each menu item for pages and article for blog articles.

Google doesn't always use yours if they feel you did a poor job. Meta description should be around 140 characters anyway. Maybe they thought it was too short??
