    How do I set the description on my home page?

    I have the Yoast SEO plugin installed but I can't see anywhere to set the description / title etc on the home page

    I know home page title is pulled from site title

    In Dashboard, go to SEO > TItles and Meta then select the "Home" tab. On there is a setting for "Meta description template:" fill this in, save the settings then check your homepage and the description should be shown. I've tested this using the Modern Portfolio child theme.
