Even though we've got a meta description snippet set in the Yoast config for the home page, Google doesn't seem to be picking it up

Since we are using toolset Content Templates for the homepage, saw that the css codes came from the CSS editor section.

Anything we can do about this? So the SEO meta description set on the page itself / Yoast will show on google result instead of the CSS code?

Thanks!

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

First of all - After checking to debug the information you shared with us, I found that you are using outdated Toolset plugins. We always recommend running your site with the latest stable release plugin version.

Could you please update ALL Toolset plugins to it's latest officially released version. You can download the latest plugin release from your accounts page:

Do you see any difference after ALL Toolset plugins update to latest version?

Just a few days back we release a new version for the set of Toolset plugins. I found that you are using outdated Toolset plugins. We always recommend running your site with the latest stable release plugin version.

Regarding the original issue:
I most probably suspect its due to the custom CSS you added to the following view:
=> hidden link

I see the following custom CSS added to the above view's CSS box:

#popmake-2245 .selectdiv:after {
    content: '';
    background: url(<em><u>hidden link</u></em>);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    right: -2px;
    top: 13px;
    height: 34px;
    padding: 0 0px 0px 14px;
    position: absolute;
    pointer-events: none;
}

As you can see there is a direct link added with the same work you are searching for with google "little monkey hong kong" and there is the background URL added which contains the same keyword i.e. background: url(hidden link.....

I suggest you should try to remove the full background URL or for now, delete the CSS and allow google to index it and get back to me.
