Hello,
After reading several forum posts, it seems there were some issues a few months ago (Q4 of last year?) with the Yoast (Premium) plugin not being able to ‘see’ the content of a page. It is suggested they we’re resolved in an earlier version of X as of which Yoast should work as expected.
However, not for me.
More specifically, not for me when I use Classic Elements in an otherwise V2 page, as we needed to do on a recent page of ours: https://www.bentopresentaties.nl/presentatie-ontwerp/sales-presentaties/
I boiled it down after reading this recent forum post by deleting sections one by one. In this way, I found out two specific culprits which make the Yoast plugin hiccup.
The Yoast plugin works on the site with ‘straightforward’ pages.
Hoever, on the earlier mentioned (longer) page – with a Gravity Form added through a Classic Gravity Form element and images using a Lightbox popup through the Lightbox shortcode, Yoast Premium acted up.
When I deleted the form, which was on the end of the page, the error messages disappeared, but statistics looked whack, with too many zero values:
When I also deleted the section containing the Lightbox images (and shortcode), things look normal again:
Both element make use of Classic Element and of shortcode in Cornerstone. Might it be possible that (a combination of) Classic Elements aren’t supported with X and Yoast?
And more importantly
Are there perhaps any known workarounds to add Lightbox functionality and add Gravity forms without using Classic Elements?
Hope to hear from you guys (or girls)!
Thanks,
Arnout
PS I use
- WordPress 4.9.8
- X Version 6.2.5
