Problem with inbound link counter – not recognising links in ACF?

    I have Advanced Custom Fields installed and Yoast SEO installed – and also ACF Content Analysis for Yoast SEO.

    It does not seem to be counting the inbound links to pages. So we have just added about 20 inbound links to the Hosted Telephony page (https://www.avandda.co.uk/hosted-telephony/), but when looking at the main Pages page, it says there is 0 (zero) internal links going to the page. (And also 0 internal links from the page).

    Should it be immediate?

    Hi @asy1mpo,

    There are a few cases where a link might not be recognized:

    1) Only links from inside the WordPress post editor are recognized. This means that links from navigational bars, menus, sidebars, or footers are not recognized. If you do not have any links to those pages from the default content area of other posts and pages, but you have other internal links on your website pointing to that page (i.e. breadcrumbs, menus, header, footer, etc.), then it is safe to ignore that warning.

    2) Links need to be in absolute form. This means that links need to include the full domain. For example, https://www.example.com/page-a is an absolute link, while /page-a/ is a relative link.

    Can you please let us know if any of the above apply to your site?

    If not, are you using a standard ACF custom field? Or are you using flexible fields, ACF gutenberg blocks or something similar?
