Yoast plugin analyzer

Support
#1

I’m having trouble with Yoast and theme x. the analyzer does not seem to work with cornerstone. I read the bug list and it seems it’s on it however that buglist is dated from march 2018… almost 2 years later and there is still no update on this?

If there will be no update, is there any other SEO plugin which is actually compatible with Cornerstone? I want to use a tool like yoast with decent compatibillity with cornerstone. they have nice features it’s a pity that it is not fully compatible.

Hello @sassi80,

Thanks for writing in!

Please be informed that X 7.2 and Cornerstone 4.2 are not available for manual updates. One of the bug fixes were the Excerpt generation for cornerstone content. Please update your X and test the Yoast plugin analyzer again.

You may check out the latest changelog here:

#3

my version is 7.2 x theme and version 4.2 cornerstone…

I can see the excerpts now however… is it possible to automatically create excerpts from certain context within the content of that page?

for example to have the excerpt be the first 20 words from an random paragraph ?

btw yoast does automatic excerpt, however with the pages i keep getting code instead of text

Hey @sassi80,

To your question:

No. This will require custom development even using regular content.

Cornerstone content now generates [cs_content_seo][/cs_content_seo] within the_content. You will need to resave the post for that to be generated. Contents of that generated shortcode would be visible for the get_the_excrept() and the_excerpt() so if Yoast uses those, it could generate an excerpt. If not, contact Yoast SEO support to learn how to read the content of the said shortcode.

Hope that helps.

thanks, i will give it a go. does this also gets generated for pages or only posts?

#7

Hey @sassi80,

It applies to all post types created with Cornerstone or the Content Builder.

Thanks.

#8

thanks I can see it however not in an way it should haha.

this is in my code check secure note

#9

Hi @sassi80,

I don’t see a secure note on this thread. Did you follow the suggestion above to re-save your posts?

Please clarify.
Thanks,

#10

Here is the code: <meta property=“og:description” content="[cs_content_seo]rechten
is the code output.

also in the secure note there is site link. with an search result however as you can see from the result it all comes back gibberish?

#11

Hello @sassi80,

I can confirmed your issues. I already informed our developers about this issue.
Once they have it fix, a new release update cycle will be available. Watch out for it.

Please bear with us.

Hi @sassi80,

May I know how you reproduce the <meta property=“og:description” content="[cs_content_seo]rechten ? I can confirm that issue but not due to conflict with Yoast SEO, but due to theme’s built-in OpenGraph. I’ll implement a fix for that but I like to confirm if this is really related to Yoast SEO so we can investigate further.

As for the search result, it’s due to Wordpress’s excerpt generation which isn’t related to the theme. It cleans the content to generate a pure text, removing shortcodes, html, and script block. The content you’re seeing are the code of the slider (Wordpress only removes <script></script> but not the content between them, hence the code. For that case, I recommend adding your post excerpt manually, please check this https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-customize-wordpress-excerpts-no-coding-required/ Just the Step 1, and don’t follow the coding since they are already implemented.

Thanks!

hi!

no idea to be honest haha. check the sourcecode of that page … it seems it takes part of the slider revolution with it and then closes the "/>

check securenote for the source

#15

Hi @sassi80,

Thanks for the URL, I checked and it’s not due to SEO Yoast, but I do see multiple instances of og:description in which I can’t reproduce on my end. On my test, once SEO Yoast is active it overrides the theme’s OpenGraph, so there is no issue. The issue is only present once SEO Yoast is inactive where theme’s OpenGraph takeover.

Would you mind providing your admin login credentials in the secure note so I could further test? Perhaps there are issues I can’t reproduce on my setup.

Thanks!

#16

sure check the secure note

#17

Hello @sassi80,

A few hours ago, we have released X 7.2.3 and Cornerstone 4.2.3. It is now available in automatic updates. You can now update to this latest version. This latest release contains fixes for several issues so be sure to check out the changelog (http://theme.co/changelog/).

After doing the updates, always remember to clear all caches (if you are using WP Rocket, WP SuperCache or W3 Total Cache) when updating so that the code from the latest release is always in use. This will help you to avoid any potential errors.

Kindly let us know how it goes.

#18

nop, still same issue after the updates… ( disabled caching plugin anyways for now)

#19

Hi @sassi80,

Have you tried disabling all other plugins except for SEO Yoast and cornerstone then test it again? I also recommend disabling the child theme by activating the main theme for testing.

This is because of the faulty meta description is outside the Yoast Code block, and our theme is not not even using twitter card.

If after disabling the plugins and child theme but still the same, then please provide the correct admin login credentials as it’s not currently working :slight_smile:

Thanks!
