Comment:

 When switching the homepage option from your latest posts to a static
 page, the `show_on_front` option changes from `posts` to `page`. This
 should require at least a static homepage, yet the Reading Settings screen
 and Customizer do not give an error message if no homepage is selected.
 (The customizer's instructions include: "To set a static homepage, you
 first need to create two Pages. One will become the homepage, and the
 other will be where your posts are displayed.")

 Yoast only checks the `show_on_front` option value, without making sure a
 static front page is set. So the Search Appearance screen does not offer
 the option to set title and description there, and the link to the static
 front page can have an empty `href`. If the homepage setting is "your
 latest posts," Yoast's Search Appearance screen is where to edit the title
 and description for the homepage with that plugin.

 This probably does not relate to the theme template file, but that part
 sounds correct:
