Not working with Yoast SEO

  • Yoast SEO is fairly popular, so my guess is there there are other users here that use it as well.

    As many other users report in other posts, site/amp is being redirected to original (canonical) URL.

    I discovered that disabling Yoast SEO, it works.
    Manually entering ?amp=1 to the end of the URL, it also works.
    But the meta tag indicates “/amp/” and not “?amp=1”

    Anyone with Yoast SEO discover or know how to get it to work?
    I tried enabling & disabling many permalink features in Yoast, but with no success. Shold probably post over there, but I assumed many of its users would be here anyway. Thanks.

    I have used Yoast SEO with AMP and it seemed to work fine. The only difference I see is the URLs we use do not end with a slash so it is “/amp”

    I discovered it has to do with “Redirect ugly URL’s to clean permalinks”, if activated, it does not work. So my guess is you don’t.

    When you enable that option, it shows another one as to allow certain variables (amp in this case), but it doesn’t seem to work. I reported it at https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/url-exclusion-on-ugly-urls-cleaning-is-not-working in case anyone wants to see or is having this problem… if you have Yoast, at least for now, disable “Redirect ugly URL’s to clean permalinks”. Hope to find a better solution though.

    Two things:

    – “Redirect ugly URL’s to clean permalinks” -> I’d disable that…
    – to work with AMP, we’re working on a small “glue” plugin to make the two work nicely together, can be found here. It’ll be on www.ads-software.com soon ??

    Hi Joost,

    do you plan to integrate the AMP-function in the next Yoast SEO Version via Update?

    That would be great ??

    Thanks Joost, great to hear.

    We won’t integrate AMP into Yoast SEO entirely any time soon, the AMP plugin works nicely so I see no reason for that… The glue plugin we have out now will over time be part of Yoast SEO itself but that’ll take some time as we go through testing and Google goes through doing AMP for a while. I fully expect a bunch of changes.

    Thanks for the glue Joost ??

    I was going to put in ticket as a ‘pro’ customer, and then saw this.

    A lot more plugins are getting affected with AMP than most people think so thanks for doing the Glue plugin as our developer is working overtime to gets things in order.

    Thanks, Joost!

    I have “Redirect ugly URL’s to clean permalinks” deactivated , but I still get that redirect to to original URL. Any ideas how to solve this ?

    I’m having our developer check to see if having all three plugins (Google AMP, Yoast Glue & the PageFrog one) are countering each other some way.

    You know how it always works, one plugin makes updates and then the other ones around it suddenly cause an issue. Gotta say, Google truly knows how to do one’s head in.
