plugin doesn’t get Yoast as separate tags

  • Hello,
    I need just the Title and description as plain text keys in my JSON. Yes you include Yoast (it does that without your plugin) but it pulls it out as a massive block of code including links to scripts and everything.

    Im going to use it with React Helemt, so i just need those 2 plain fields

    To clarify, I do have a head tags section but none show page Title, only one shows description.. every one of my pages has both filled

    To add more info.. the very first item in my JSON has 27 head tags including the descripion and the og:title .. every other item has 10, none of which include a title or description

    Hi @justinblayney

    This WordPress plugin is meant to work with @frontity/head-tags Frontity package

    In a Frontity project, this combination ( REST API – Head Tags WordPress plugin + head-tags frontity package) will make your metatags are automatically included in your final rendered HTML

    Besides this you can customize the metatags from your React app using elements like <Head>.

    Here you have more info:

    Hello,

    that sucks, and that wasn’t really explained in the plugin..

    Im not 100% against installing it, but I was planning to store the JSON locally because the REST API is so slow to load data

    Hi @justinblayney

    Thanks for your feedback. We’ll try to improve the description of the plugin so it’s more clear

    Let me expand my answer.

    Frontity projects (and packages) work directly with the info available in the REST API. This “REST API – Head Tags” plugin was built to expose in the REST API the meta-tags that can be defined with plugins like YOAST because with versions prior to Yoast 14, Yoast wasn’t doing this

    Anyway, if you’re using Yoast 14 or above, you won’t need this plugin, as from this version the metatags and all SEO info is properly exposed to the REST API by the Yoast plugin itself

    Hope this helps. Thanks for your patience.
