Permalinks 404 on yoast plugin update

Still no response?

We apologize for the trouble you are experiencing with our plugin update. In some cases, users find they need to re-save the permalinks setting after updating plugins. You can re-save the permalink setting by going to Admin > Settings > Permalinks and clicking save without making any changes.

It’s every plugin update for some applications.

We tried everything and that did not work. We reinstalled the wordpress application and started from a clean slate. It is still during development so it was fine for this website. But cost me a lot of debugging hours. And it was not a nice experience. And if this would happened to a fully built application it would be a huge problem. Have read people see same issues on multiple plugin updates..?

May I ask you if this is buyest by rankmath: https://rankmath.com/yoast-alternative/

Your plugin require much bigger, require much more files, and code rows. Any comment on this one? Prefer Yoast expect rankmatch give more features and have better SERP snippet previews and pixel measurements.

Hi, you identified several issues. We have responded to them below.

A. Permalink 404 Issue
We understand you are having an issue with the permalinks. We are unable to reproduce the issue on your testing sites. We are not sure why it is happening.

If you believe that issue with your permalinks needing reset is due to a bug in Yoast SEO you can submit an issue report to our developers. We’re actively using the bug tracking on our GitHub repository so your best next step would be to create a new issue for our developers at https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/new. You will need an account to create a new issue. If this is your first bug report, please check out: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-write-a-good-bug-report/.

B.RankMath
We are not familiar with that product so we are unable to comment on it.

A. Ok, will do that in the future.

B. Ok, what your comment on how you try to use minimal, smart and clean code? Yoast has least functions in the free version but uses most files, biggest file and code.

Hi,

We have a developer blog here https://developer.yoast.com/ that highlights some of the issues you bring up and outlines the decisions and choices made in constructing some of Yoast’s features.

In addition, if there is an issue or problem with Yoast related to having large files or the size of the code, we ask that you please make an issue on our GitHub repository here https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues. You can expect a response from one of our staff. You may need an account in order to post.

Ok, thanks.

May I ask why Yoast news and video etc aren’t included in Yoast premium? Yoast premium does only give schema markup that is useful. But until that release, it was basically 0 value for the money. If I would get all-inclusive with the premium I would not doubt purchasing a license.

Thanks for the information

@alriksson

Both Yoast SEO and Yoast SEO Premium output the new schema features as described here https://yoast.com/yoast-seo-11-0/. You do not need Premium just to get access to the new schema.

In regards to News and Video, these are very niche products and are used to optimize articles for Google News or Videos to appear in a Google Video Search in order to drive traffic to your site. As a result of this it has been decided to not include them in the Premium plugin at this moment in time.

I can not see schema features in Yoast free version.

News and video ok but would be included but a toggle on/off feature to activate the extra plugins or not.

Hey There!

I thought in Yoast 11.1 is Schema for Video implemented? or did I understand somthing wrong?

@nick7766 As the article you linked to mentions: “The Video SEO add-on is a separate plugin that needs to be used in tandem with Yoast SEO.” You can view more information about the Video SEO plugin here: https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/video-seo/

ahh ok.

@alriksson

If you are not seeing the schema, can you please confirm that you are using the most recent v11.1.1 of Yoast SEO (the free one)?

If you are, can you please provide a link that highlights the issue?

@pcosta88 Correct, using the latest version of Yoast. Can you please show me where in Yoast settings I control it can you please show me in the same video or prints where it’s executed into JSON-LD. Since I see 0 traces of any of that.

So to me, this feature is a ghost.
