Enable a crawler to index all Yoast redirects

    Hello,

    I am using the Staatic plugin to generate a static version of my wordpress site. It crawls the site to do this, but the Yoast redirects are not crawable/reachable from a single page AFAICT, so I have been manually exporting redirects from Yoast as CSV, then importing them as “Additional URLs” to the Staatic plugin.

    Is there are way to dynamically get the list of redirects all in one place, e.g. something like /redirects-sitemap.xml would be great – then I could just point the Staatic crawler at that, and things would update automatically.

    Thanks.

  • Hi @jkburges, I just wanted to let you know that we are planning to improve support for Yoast Premium by detecting the (plain) redirects automatically. A beta release with this functionality is expected to be available before the end of next week. I will update this topic as soon as it is available.

    Thanks, I’ll keep an eye on this thread.

    Staatic 1.4.3-beta1, which includes integration with Yoast Premium Redirects, has just been released and can now be downloaded from the plugin directory’s Advanced View. Under Advanced Options, select Development Version and click the Download button.

    Howdy, I just tried 1.4.3-beta1 but it didn’t seem to pick up any of the plain Yoast redirects. e.g. if I’ve got a plain Yoast redirect like:

    301 blog/a-guide-to-video-seo/ blog/video-marketing/

    I was expecting a file to be published to the S3 bucket at /blog/a-guide-to-video-seo/index.html which has the appropriate Amazon S3 metadata with the redirect info.

    All I see in the logs pertaining to this path is:

    Deletion of stale file blog/a-guide-to-video-seo/index.html was successful

    Before publishing, I cleared out all the Addtional Redirects in the Staatic settings, so there’s nothing in there.

    Is there any other config I have to change to enable the new functionality? Anything else I should look for in the logs?

    Thanks

    Can you download the Development Version again and try once more? We noticed a small error that got introduced by our build system that should now be fixed. We’re sorry for the inconvenience.

    No configuration is needed to enable this integration. Once Staatic detects Yoast Premium Redirects, it activates automatically.

    Hi, any ETA when this version will be released properly? I’d like to start using it in production. Thanks.

    The final 1.4.3 release is scheduled for today. You can expect the update to become available within the next couple of hours.
