I have installed the paid yoast video plug in and there appears to be a conflict with X theme or Conerstone. The Yoast snippet editor when the plugin is activated looks OK in preview but not in the video-sitemap.xml of certain url’s where it produces a description that appears to be css coding.

A snippet which I edited prior to the video plugin shows fine in the video.sitemap.xml description for my home page which leads me to believe there is a conflict. I have attached a screenshot of the video.sitemap descriptions showing the various url’s and the description proble. According to Yoast support Google will pick up the video-sitemap.xml description which is of course just code apart from the home page.

Have you come across this before? If this is the case do you have the answer?

Hi Jack,

Thanks for writing in.

It’s not CSS, but cornerstone content. Your plugin doesn’t utilize the do_shortcode() when rendering content.

It’s the content you’ll see when you edit it with a text editor, and it’s non-processed. It’s processed during the render on the front page using do_shortcode() hooked at the_content() filter.

Hence, your plugin has no capability of processing shortcodes.

Thanks!

Hi

I don’t really understand but does this mean I cannot use the plugin or is there an answer?

Hi there,

Without customization, yes, you can’t use that plugin for content that has shortcodes. But still doable with customization, and you should contact the plugin author to add/apply do_shortcode() on their plugin.

Thanks!
