Internal links not showing in Yoast SEO analysis

[Marcus08]

Hi,

I see some errors in the SEO analysis.
Yoast reports NO internal links are found, but that is not correct.

How can I fix that? Is there something that should be enabled within Cornerstone?

Hello @Marco,

Thanks for writing to us.

We need to replicate this issue in our sites so please kindly downgrade to the previous Pro 5.1.5 version which you can still download in your account. After that, post a screenshot of the Yoast SEO post internal and external link stats and tell us where to find that.

Until there is a fix for this, please use Pro 5.1.5.

Please keep in mind that we do not support third-party plugins. What we’ll do is investigate if the issue is with Pro.

Thanks.

I reported this same issue and received the exact same response, even though I use X not Pro.

Yoast SEO is by far the standard in website optimization with over 5 million installations. You guys should be extremely familiar with it and ensure you are 100% compatible.

The post and page internal link stats are columns in the Page and Post lists. If you don’t see it, use the screen options to display the columns:

Thx for your comment @jnlinn.

Hi,

See screenshots of where to find it.

I’m still running Pro 5.1.5. The problem is on several sites. Pro and X, previous versions.

Thx in advanced for the help.

Hi,

Same goes voor alt-tags. They are present, but Yoast does not detect them.

The yoast issues have been known for a while as you have stated. The problem comes with our rendering process and there’s a couple routes we can take. It was talked about internally in the past and will come back into view when we iron out this release. Thanks have a great day.

Thx for the feedback Charlie.

As I read in another topic, you guys added compatibility with Yoast instead of Semrush. I don’t understand why it is not compatible anymore. Did Yoast change something?

[charlie]

I believe this happened with V2 elements as we went away from shortcodes into building our content through JSON. Yoast has probably changed over that time, but the real issue has always been that it can’t read our built page data. So links or images on a page won’t be read by Yoast. There’s a bunch of notes for me to go over as this was a considered a big deal at one point and I also consider not being Yoast compatible to be a big deal so it’ll be addressed this year.

[Marcus08]

Aha ok. Thx, Charlie, for the info. I hope it is fixed very soon.

Anyway, compliments on the new X, PRO, and Cornerstone update. Really is a big game-changer!

Thanks for the kind words. More to come on V6, the party has just begun! I will add this to our threads to keep updated on the Yoast issue.
