Divi can't place content on Google Preview

0

I am using a theme which uses Divi as page builder. The title and URL looks good on Google Preview box, but the content does not look okay.

It looks like it is just showing the shortcodes of Divi instead of the real content.

    Sure it can, the Divi theme has no problems with that, but in the backend, you still need to set a featured image and snipet using Smart Crawl or Yoast if you really want to customize it, I’m a noob though and one of the experts will ring in with the fix in no time!

    Hope that helps,

    Matthew that’s false. Just like Yeost, smart crawl should be able to filter out the div tags in the content section of the snippet, it is not. Yeost has no problem doing this, so neither should smart crawl. You shouldn’t be forced to manually do it, smart crawl should be handle it without needing a manual override.

    Yeost is free, smart crawl needs to be better/more reliable than a free plugin…is smart crawl is a paid plugin.

    Thanks guys.

      Well Ben sorry to hear that, but according to your title, you were saying that “Divi” couldn’t, and it can, without any issues, so long as you do your part. I feel reasonably sure of that answer since I use Divi every day on dozens of clients sites.

      WordPress doesn’t actually “need” any plugins to sculpt your site’s preview, it’s all possible in the backend, it’s easy even, shoot its SEO, its a walk in the park.

      You can always add the meta yourself if the plugins are complicated, and use this great tool here,

      Here’s a fantastic article from our community

      It’s great for A/B testing or just previewing how your pages will show in the results, Google has a search preview tool you can use also in AdWords.

      Hope this helps buddy!

    Hello Ben

    I see that Oguzhan replicated the bug you are referencing during your chat session. It seems this ticket description did not adequately communicate the core issue. Since our staff confirmed the bug in question, this has been filed as a bug report and will be looked into by the Dev Team.

    However, Matthew does have some excellent suggestions and perhaps this would be a suitable workaround until this bug is resolved.

    Thank you for your patience while we sort through this issue.

    Best regards,

    James Morris
