Yoast Local SEO part two

It’s been awhile so I am having to create this new topic as a followup to this previous one.

When I proceed as described in that post, I get this message when I attempt to use Cornerstone to create the page content:

Uh oh!

No suitable preview area found. This could happen when a third party plugin is overriding the content area or

“The Content” is not being output by the current layout.Screenshot 2024-12-23 at 4.12.43 PM

Hey Jon,

Can you tell us what you tried? Did you try both creating a Single Layout and allowing Cornerstone to edit the post type?

That message will show up if you edit the page of a post type. Please try creating the Single Layout. Here’s the full documentation where you can learn: https://theme.co/docs/single-templates

I just now went through this sequence:

  1. Created a Single Layout by clicking the + tab at the top of the Cornerstone screen.
  2. I named the layout “Location Layout”.
  3. I clicked the Settings tab on the layout and assigned Post Type is Location.
  4. Then I tried creating a Post from within Cornerstone, but I did not see a way to create the Post with Post Type of Location.
  5. When I tried to assign the Location Layout to my post, I got the Uh Oh message.
  6. If I then use Yoast to create a location post, it doesn’t offer the option of using Cornerstone to build it.
  7. If I save the Yoast-created Location post and switch to Cornerstone, when I try to edit the Location post I get the Uh Oh message. If I then try to change the layout for that post to Location Layout, I again get an Uh Oh.

Hello Jon,

If Location is a post type, you must Allow editing with Cornerstone in Cornerstone > Settings > Permissions first. Once it is enabled, you can create a Location within the builder. The Location layout may be in use to create it.

Best Regards.

I think the permissions are set correctly. I’ll attach a screenshot.

Hey Jon,

I was able to create a location custom post item.

Thanks.

It works for me now too. I think my problem was expecting the post layout to work the same as the page layouts do.

Thank you!

Hey @jonh,

You’re most welcome!
