Meta tag Description of pages has changed. Why?

Hello.
Please tell me what's going on... A couple of days ago, Yandex Webmaster sent a notification that the page code had changed, but I didn't change it.

Old page code: 200
New page code: URL forbidden for indexing by noindex tag

I made a request for re-checking, and after a couple of hours, I received a response that the code had been changed again.

Old page id: URL not allowed to be indexed by noindex tag
New page id: 200

Today we got a notification again that "Page description meta tag has changed"

Old page id: our default description for the main page
New id: —

I don't understand what's going on... Someone removed the description from the main page without my knowledge ? Or is wordpress showing off ... Or Yandex Webamster? What to do with it?

In order to understand which of the options is yours (holes in WP or bugs in the work of the Webmaster), you need to check and fix the presence / absence of the noindex tag on the pages for which you received a message from the Webmaster within a week or two. Only in this case you will find out the real reason and will work with it already.
If there are few problematic pages, then you can check the presence / absence of the noindex tag manually, through the source code of the pages.
To open it you need:

  1. open the page you need in the browser;
  2. press Ctrl+U on the keyboard
  3. press the F3 key (a search window will open)
  4. type in the search box "robots" (without quotes)
  5. click the Enter key

As a result, robots will be highlighted, through which the page is usually closed in "noindex". It looks like this: . If the result is negative, use the search box to search for "noindex" (without the quotes).
