Hi gssmarketing,
Thanks for getting in touch. I might be able to help you with this one.
It can happen that your theme interferes somehow. I just tested this with twentysixteen and it works fine on the starting month view.
Please check what happens for you with a default theme like twentysixteen or twentyseventeen.
I see you are using Extra. Please also let me know / send me screenshots of the SEO setting of Extra. You can find them under Extra > Theme Options > SEO and there are 3 tabs there I think.
Let me know what you find.
Thanks,
Andras
