      Does it show in the sourcecode?

      If it does maybe Google hasn't updated it yet, not to sure how long it takes, but I usually have to wait awhile.

        Yeah I've had the same problem, but then once the description will just show up. Also, you have to check both the WP description as well as the All-in-one-SEO descriptions. I'm not sure which one google puts up, so I make sure they are all filled in.

      I use All-in-One-SEO plugin but there is a setting to actually activate it (after activating the plugin) - you may want to look for setting on the control panel.

    Are you referring to privacy settings? I Had the selection block search engines for some reason so now i have allowed them this maybe they key to the problem.

    Thanks

      No, All-in-one-seo has a plugin status that you enable or disable.

      I've gotten burned by the Privacy Setting before as well but this doesn't look to be the case, since you already are in the search results.

      Could it be that maybe the SE in question indexed something too soon? In other words, you changed the description after it was initially indexed? It may work itself over time.
