  2. wpseo_get_value('metadesc'); has been deprecated

    Please use WPSEO_Meta::get_value("metadesc");

    <?php echo WPSEO_Meta::get_value("metadesc"); ?>

  3. If you need to add twitter:description meta data. Please follow below steps.

     - Login to admin panel
 - Go to menu item SEO->Social
 - Uncheck the checkbox Add Open Graph meta data
 - Go to tab Twitter
 - Check the checkbox Add Twitter card meta data
 - Click on save changes

    Now if you visit the post page or any single page, you can see a meta tag with name twitter:description added to the head.

    Hope this works for you
