Problem/Motivation

Snippet preview within blog post is displaying the "Body" field text, rather than the "Summary" field text as specified by the [node:summary] token within the meta tags > Basic tags > Description settings for the post.

However, the code reflects the appropriate meta tags in the header.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Set default meta tags for the Content > description:. (See attached bug-image-1-meta-tags image)
  2. Create a blog post, filling out the Title, Summary, Body fields. Review "Snippet Preview" section under the "Real-time SEO for Drupal" section. It is not pulling the appropriate information according to the default tokens set within the Meta tags > Basic tags > Description section. (See attached bug-imate-2-post-fields-rtseo-display image)
  3. Review code to make sure meta tags are displaying properly within section. (See attached bug-image-4-page-head-code-after-saving image)

      4. Proposed resolution

      Make sure the Real-Time SEO for Drupal snippet preview is pulling the appropriate field within the interface. Can cause confusion for users.

      Remaining tasks

      User interface changes

      API changes

      Data model changes

If I understand this issue correctly it also applies to 2.x: If a token is used in metatags description, yoast_seo does not use the value of that token.

I would expect the same behaviour as with the metatags title field: If I insert a token e.g. [node:title] | [site:name] and after clicking on another field, yoast_seo updates the preview immediatly.

I have a similar problem, where the [node:summary] seems to be replaced within the browser, and the meta description field ends up containing HTML.

Even if I try replacing the token in the metatag configuration the SEO module seems to be ignoring my settings.

After some more digging I saw that the Yoast SEO module defaults the summary field to be the body (yoast_settings.fields.summary). This will make the meta description snippet to get the unparsed content of the body field.

I put together a patch that strips the HTML tags from all fields. Unfortunately I don't have a solution for the original issue reported here.

Hello,
I had the same issue. I forgot to extend the permissions of metatag to the content type.

You can find it in /admin/config/search/metatag/settings and activate basic metatags for the content with yoast on.
