Parent Page Not Assigned

  • The new parent page was not assigned to a page after nesting it under a different parent using the Nested pages view.

    Is this the default behaviour? I expected that it would assign the relevant page as parent after moving it. Instead it seems the Parent page field appears blank.

    This has caused a major SEO issue on one of my clients’ sites where the canonical URL is still using the old parent page but the actual URL of the page is using the new parent page, and now the pages can’t be indexed by Google.

    Update: Nevermind, the Parent page is assigned but for some reason the Gutenberg editor takes such a long time to load the title of the Parent page that the field appears blank for quite a while after opening the edit screen.

    This appears instead to be an issue with Yoast SEO not updating the canonical URL after the page was updated.

    Update 2: It appears that the canonical URL is updated after manually updating the page. This leads me to believe that editing the nesting structure using Nested pages is not triggering the hooks that are needed for Yoast SEO to update.

    If you could look into this ASAP it would be much appreciated.

    Hi there, I see that you haven’t replied on this topic. Unfortunately I’ll have to leave a review to warn others not to use this with Yoast SEO, and discontinue using the plugin if this is not addressed.

    It’s really too bad, as my team really enjoyed using this plugin!
