Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention!We apologize?for the trouble you are currently experiencing with our plugin. Luckily, a so-called “bug report” (a description of the issue, so we can fix it) is filed already.

What’s next? Our product team will assess the severity of this problem in relation to other open bug reports and new features. Based on their assessment, the bug report will be given a priority level. Our developers work on the highest priority issues first. Unfortunately, this means we cannot give you an estimate of when they’ll start working on your report. If you have any further information that may affect the prioritization or help our development team solve this bug, please feel invited to reply to this forum topic.

Appreciate the quick response. However, it seems that several other users have been impacted as well (I have already seen their tickets). Though I am not sure, but it might start impacting our searching rankings and hence our businesses as well till the bug gets fixed. Thanks for your understanding.

We understand your concern, @sagarchaudhuri. We can confirm that it won’t affect anything negatively to the search engine’s ranking.

That said, our development teams are already working on this and we’re expecting a patch release very soon. Once the next release is available, please update the plugin to the latest version and that shall fix the issue for everyone.

Thanks for your continued patience!

In all likelihood, this bug was introduced in the last update of the plugin. Since the Google bot doesn’t crawl all pages everyday, the issue surfaced with a lag. So rolling back the last update might be a quick fix. Please consider. Thanks.

We have already released Yoast SEO v15.9.1. We recommend you please update the plugin to the latest version to have the relevant fix in place.

I have updated the Yoast plugin on our website and the problem still exists in Google Search Console. I also turned off our Cloudflare cache just in case that was an issue. Still same problem. This is for our FAQ page.

Same here. I continue to get the same error even after updating to 15.9.1
