Where exactly do I go to try to fix this? Thanks Version: 9.0.9

Let me know if you have any trouble. I just confirmed it's working fine in 9.0.9. There is one issue that is being fixed for 9.0.11. Specifically, the issue occurs if you have option choice names with a trailing whitespace. Those variants won't appear in the Google Feed in that case. Katie

However, the Google Feed should have its own text box. If I put something in summary, it's going to show in my grid, and I may not want to do that. If you think this is a good idea, let me know and I'll post it on future enhancements. Another alternative is to get the information from the meta description. I may have my developer switch it out, as this is a better place for the Google feed to get its info. Thanks Edited by user Friday, July 19, 2024 12:13:29 PM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

I agree that we need to provide some options for the Google Feed, so the description can either be pulled from the summary or the meta description. I'll move this over to the Feature Request thread.

Let the other two text boxes serve their own purpose. -Ray
