We are using your plugin on websites together with the Advanced Custom Fields plugin. Will you maintain compatibility also for the after recent events now external hosted and updated ACF plugin?

I installed the plugin, but the Yoast plugin still can’t read the content in my custom fields. Any idea how to fix this?

Hello we’re getting Yoast reminding us that “No internal links appear on the page” but there are internal links which is pulled in with the Post Object field, is there any way to get Yoast to recognise that the “Post Object” is pulling in an internal link?

Hi everyone,

I have a custom development with WordPress where all the content is managed through ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) and not through the default the_content() function, which Yoast uses for its content analysis. To ensure Yoast reads my ACF content, I am using the ACF Content Analysis for Yoast SEO plugin (plugin link).

The plugin successfully reads the ACF content but fails to recognize the content type (whether it’s a <p> or <h1>). I attempted to use the provided filter in my functions.php to define headlines, but it doesn’t seem to work. Here’s the filter I implemented:

php

Copy code

add_filter('Yoast\WP\ACF\headlines', function ($headlines) { $headlines['hero_title'] = 1; // h1 $headlines['hero_subtitle'] = 2; // h2 $headlines['hero_feature_1'] = 3; // h3 $headlines['hero_feature_2'] = 3; // h3 $headlines['hero_feature_3'] = 3; // h3 $headlines['advantage_1_title'] = 3; // h3 $headlines['advantage_2_title'] = 3; // h3 $headlines['advantage_3_title'] = 3; // h3 $headlines['charging_models_section_title'] = 2; // h2 $headlines['charging_model_1_title'] = 3; // h3 $headlines['charging_model_2_title'] = 3; // h3 $headlines['charging_model_3_title'] = 3; // h3 $headlines['charging_model_4_title'] = 3; // h3 $headlines['payment_channels_section_title'] = 2; // h2 $headlines['gateways_section_title'] = 2; // h2 $headlines['block_1_title'] = 3; // h3 $headlines['block_2_title'] = 3; // h3 $headlines['block_3_title'] = 3; // h3 $headlines['block_4_text'] = 3; // h3 $headlines['analysis_section_title'] = 2; // h2 $headlines['notifications_section_title'] = 2; // h2 $headlines['recover_payments_section_title'] = 2; // h2 $headlines['scale_section_title'] = 2; // h2 $headlines['scale_section_indicator_title'] = 3; // h3 $headlines['other_features_section_title'] = 2; // h2 $headlines['other_features_section_title_1'] = 3; // h3 $headlines['other_features_section_title_2'] = 3; // h3 $headlines['other_features_section_title_3'] = 3; // h3 $headlines['banner_title'] = 2; // h2 $headlines['banner_feature_1'] = 3; // h3 $headlines['banner_feature_2'] = 3; // h3 $headlines['banner_feature_3'] = 3; // h3 return $headlines; });

In my template, the fields are called like this:

php

Copy code

<h1 class="body-extraHuge"><?php the_field('hero_title'); ?></h1> <h2 class="body-extraBig"><?php the_field('hero_subtitle'); ?></h2> <h3 class="feature-txt"><?php the_field("hero_feature_{$i}"); ?></h3>

However, Yoast’s analysis reports that there are no subheadings, even though they are present in the template. Here is what the Yoast analysis shows:

Problems:

• Subheading distribution: You are not using any subheadings, although your text is rather long. Try and add some subheadings.

Improvements:

• Transition words: Only 5.4% of the sentences contain transition words, which is not enough. Use more of them.

Good results:

• Passive voice: You’re using enough active voice. That’s great!
• Consecutive sentences: There is enough variety in your sentences. That’s great!
• Paragraph length: None of the paragraphs are too long. Great job!
• Sentence length: Great!

I have ensured that the field names are correct and matched with the filter. I also cleared the cache and updated the plugins, but the issue persists.

Any insights or suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hello guys.

I have enabled the SEO controls and assessments on “Pages”.

I added there the custom field, but whenever I click “save changes”, it wouldn’t add.

Please help me with this.

Hi

I’m using ACF Content Analysis for Yoast SEO and it seems to work fine on my account but not on a different user account.

So for example, when looking at a post, on my account the SEO Analysis says: OK, as it’s picking up the Focus Keyphrase in the ACF fields.

However, when viewing the very same post as a different user (also admin) the SEO Analysis says: Needs improvement. Seemingly not picking up the keyphrase in the ACF field.

Any help with this very much appreciated.

Many thanks

Hi.

We are using ACF Content Analysis for Yoast SEO plugins in our store. We have inserted values as per screenshots and set up as per settings given by you https://yoast.com/help/add-custom-fields-to-yoast-seo-premium-plugin-settings/

But that value not inserted properly.

Please let me know where is the wrong.

Thanks,

Word count doesn’t work. ACF Pro + ACF extended are used in the theme.

In console, I can see log of all data which collected from ACF fields but it some reason word count doesn’t work. Dynamic Preview is used from ACF extended.

Hi, which PHP version the plugin currently supports

We have found that if our ACF blocks are in Preview Mode the Yoast Analysis doesn’t happen. It is possible to get the analysis by putting blocks into Edit Mode but as soon as we Preview them the analysis disappears.

Given that the content is still available in Preview Mode., just in the right hand column and not the centre column, is there any way to get ACF Content Analysis for Yoast to parse fields in the right hand column as well as the centre?

“Please upgrade the Yoast SEO plugin to the latest version to allow the ACF Content Analysis for Yoast SEO module to work.”

Good morning,

I have an error/alert message (above) when I am with version of Yoast 3.1 (latest version), the version of ACF is 6.2.1.1 and version 5.9.7 of WordPress.
According to your Changelog:

• the minimum required Yoast SEO version to 20.8.
• the minimum required ACF version to 6.0.0.

Everything is ok for me. Is this a simple alert or should I please ignore it?

Thanks for your feedback,

Hi, We run a couple of websites that have custom ACF fields. We use the https://github.com/Hube2/acf-medium-editor Medium editor plugin to enable a simple and extendable Medium Editor Field for adding a bold, italic or color options (for instance) to specific field sets.

It appears that these fields are not considered in the analysis. Is there a way to add custom ACF fields?

Hello,

I’m encountering an issue with Yoast SEO reading field within your plugin (screenshot). My content is in a repeater field in a WYSIWYG editor, and none of them are longer than 300 words, yet still comes up with that error.

Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this issue? Or would this be something that needs to be corrected in future releases?

Please let me know.

Thank you!

Joey

When the plugin ACF Extended is active, on some pages my meta titles and descriptions won’t save. When the plugin is deactivated it works. Is this an issue with Yoast Content Analysis, or ACF Extended?

Hi, I didn’t find an answer in the change-log. I know it says “PHP 5.6.20 or higher” but do you actually support php 8.0 or 8.1? was it tested?

Thanks

Great plugin, thanks for the hard work. Content analysis works perfectly for pages and posts, however, not for Woocommerce products (we use ACF on our product pages). Is this is a known issue / is there a fix for this? Thank you!

Our Stack includes:
Yoast SEO – v19.14
Yoast SEO Premium – v19.7
Yoast for WooCommerce -v15.5
ACF Content Analysis for Yoast SEO – v3.0.1

I just installed the free plugin and am following the WordPress Advanced Custom Fields for Beginners – Part One tutorial. Right out of the box, the Custom Fields link in the left-hand sidebar does not appear.

However, I am getting this warning at the top of my dashboard: ACF Content Analysis for Yoast SEO requires Advanced Custom Fields (free or pro) 5.7 or higher to be installed and activated. Yet, I have the latest version of the Yoast SEO Premium plugin. 3:53 into the video and I can’t even go forward from there.

I’d be willing to upgrade to premium but only if the free version works to give me a sense that it’s worth my time and money. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I’m using:

Yoast 19.12
ACF Content Analysis for Yoast SEO 3.0.1

The analysis panel claims no images and text are added, but that’s not true ofc. Is there any compatibility issue between these versions?

I’d appreciate any suggestions.

The Yoast StructuredData does output the wordCount as parameter in the Article markup.

However, this plugin does not count words from ACF textareas and/or wysiwyg areas.

Is this intentional, or something what was just overlooked?

Hi. I’m new to this plugin. I’m working with a company who want to improve their SEO and use a lot of ACF fields for their site, so need to integrate ACF with Yoast. In the guide for the plugin on the Yoast site it mentions that on the Search Appearance tab for Yoast there are “two boxes with settings. One is for Posts, and the other one is for Pages. They both contain a custom field name input box.”

However, when I click on both the posts and pages section there is no input box for these. I only have the following options:

• Show Projects in search results
• Show SEO settings for Projects?
• SEO title
• Meta description
• Schema settings
• Default Page type
• Social settings (greyed out fo premium)

Am I missing something or is there an error with my plugin?

Thanks

I realize this is an issue with others here but thought I would post a new thread in an effort to get answers.

We have a WooCommerce site with ACF and it’s not reading all the keywords we have.
One of our products has over 300 keywords but Yoast is saying it is only seeing 164 of them.

I am using the latest version of this plugin and Yoast but can’t determine why this is happening.

I use flexible content and multiple repeater content for all my pages, but Yoast indicates that all my text length is 0 words. What can be the cause of this. Is there something extra I can do, besides installing this plugin?

Hi there,

I’m receiving this error on all pages and posts:

Text length: The text contains 0 words. This is far below the recommended minimum of 300 words. Add more content.

I’m using a combination of the below plugins:

1. Yoast SEO v19.4
2. Yoast Premium v19.0.1
3. ACF Content Analysis for Yoast SEO v3.0.1

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I’ve installed the “ACF Content Analysis voor Yoast SEO” plugin, but my posts still say that the text length is 0. Do i still need to activate something?

The text is inside an flexible content ACF field.

Kind regards,
Ruben

Hi,

We have a page that is using ACF to display all of its content, including the header image and the text content within the page. It is not using gutenberg (or the classic editor WYZYWIG), so we installed your plugin hoping that it would help Yoast pick up the content in the page. This still doesn’t seem to be working for the share content though? is there a way to make it automatically pick up the share image and description from the content within ACF?

Thanks,
Jess

Hi,
Can you please confirm if ACF is compatible with WP version 5.9.x ?
If not, then will it be soon ?

Thanks.

Outbound links: No outbound links appear on this page. Add some!
Internal links: No internal links appear on this page, make sure to add some! But really links are more than 8.
Text length: 45 words only, other does not display.

My WordPress 5.9.1
ACF Content Analysis for Yoast SEO Version 3.0.1
Advanced Custom Fields PRO Version 5.12

• This topic was modified 2 years, 8 months ago by ollllla.

I’m wondering if I can exclude a specific ACF repeater field from Yoast analysis, depending on whether a box is checked, this kind of logic:

Each repeater row has two sub fields, ‘yoast_ignore’ and ‘text’

if(get_sub_field('yoast_ignore')) {
   // yoast ignore 'text' in this repeater row
}

Perhaps this can be achieved in a similar way to the blacklist filters on the plugin homepage? Any help appreciated.

I have an editor inside in Flexible Content how can i made it to read by Yoast SEO?

Hello,

It doesn’t seem to work.

We are using Yoast pro, ACF Content Analysis for Yoast SEO last version nd Advanced Custom Fields
Version 5.11.4, WP is up-to-date as well.

We’re using Elementor pro to build our pages.

Moreover, can’t find any documentation/tutos related to the plugin functioning.

How am supposed to check if it works?

Kind regards,

Marco
