Google is displaying two different cache versions of the same URL based on the query used to find it. I've tried resubmitting the page for indexing, but since one cached version is older than the other, maybe it thinks it has the latest version.

If you Google "the emerald magazine" www.google.com/search?q=the+emerald+magazine
You get the correct cache.

If you Google "emerald magazine" www.google.com/search?q=emerald+magazine
...in the summary you get a vulgar reference to copulation. (at least until it is fixed)

Everything I can see indicates these are the same URL with different caches. It has been this way for days. A non-google web tool tells me it was scanned three days ago.

I've submitted the page for re-indexing. What is the next step toward getting this resolved? Thanks!

I see a problem.

Your second link points to your website and google picks up the vulgar text as part of its description. When I looked at the HTML source code, I managed to find the exact same vulgar text in the code itself.

This suggests to me that someone has hacked at least one webpage on your website. You should remove the advertisements right away until you get the text in your page(s) fixed.

Next, make stronger passwords for all your accounts associated with web publishing, which may include FTP and wordpress (or other content management system) administration accounts, etc.

Once you make the immediate changes, double check the HTML and run it through the w3c validator and google's page-speed insights. Make sure your description is nice and accurate. The ideal objective is to have only your title and description displayed in the search results.

Once you have done all that, use the fetch as google tool in webmaster tools to make sure it sees the page the way it is supposed to be displayed then select the submit to index button when the fetch works.
