Elementor Clash, Yoast SEO/Google SEO Clash + more

Hi,

Elementor Clash

If you create a template element and then include this template within a page it presents an “Edit template” button which navigates you to a specific page via a query string that looks like https://<SITE_URL>/?p=3308&elementor but when this plug-in is installed it redirects to the homepage which in this case is incorrect.

You can recreate by designing a section in a page and then right clicking that element and saving it as a template.

Then go to a new page and scroll to the bottom of the page, click the template button and add the template that you just saved.

Now click on the “Edit Template” button.

I already mentioned this issue over at https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/clash-with-elementor-filter-hook-action-to-disable-on-page/ but received no reply and no fix has been created.

Yoast SEO Clash / Google SEO

WordPress by Default uses https://<SITE_URL>/sitemap.xml however if you’re using the likes of Yoast SEO, they use https://<SITE_URL>/sitemap_index.xml and create a redirect sending traffic from sitemap.xml to sitemap_index.xml

However when this plugin is installed, it redirects sitemap.xml to the homepage which in this case is incorrect.

Google for example by default scrapes based on /sitemap.xml so this bug right now is stopping google scraping probably tens of thousands of sites; unless they go into Google Search Console and override the sitemap URL.

Custom Clash

We have our own custom plugin that essentially creates pseudo pages so that we can provide static content to Google, rather than google failing to scape our data that is only visible with javascript.

If we have this plugin installed it prevents all of our pseudo pages from working because they don’t truly exist. We ideally need a way to exclude our pages from being affected by this plugin.

If an “Exclude URI” option was added allowing query strings, full page urls and partial urls it would be able to fix all of the above issues however considering how commonly used Yoast SEO & Elementor are I would suggest fixing these two natively.

Thanks
