SEO Press word count

I have the SEOPRESS plugin installed on my WP site, but it’s not picking up the text from Pro. It will pick up H1, H2, H3 tags but doesn’t recognize a word count on the page within the text boxes.

I had the same issue with Yoast and uninstalled it but have found SEOPRESS to be a better SEO plugin overall. Do you know if Google will have issues crawling the text in Pro if SEOPRESS can’t see it or does it make a difference at all?

Hello @garchambault,

Thanks for writing in! SEOPress is not fully supported in Pro. Likewise, SEOPress must not support Pro theme which is why it cannot check contents built with Pro Builder. This is common because most of the contents in Pro is wrapped with Pro formatting shortcodes and SEOPress plugin might discard contents wrapped with the shortcodes.

The only difference here is that SEO Plugin scan the contents in the backend. Google crawlers, on the other hand, scans the live page thus viewing and getting those texts into the Google Index and cache even if not picked up by the SEO plugin.

Hope this helps.
