[Plugin: WordPress SEO by Yoast] problem with rel='next'

I will definitely be happy to give that a shot and report back. It is likely to happen after our long holiday here, maybe next Tue or Wed.

Thanks!

Well, I updated to version 1.1.8 of your plugin and now my site doesn’t work. A blank page displays when you navigate to my page. When I deactivate it, it works fine…

If I can get your plugin to work I will test out my default theme.

Ok, I switched to Twenty Eleven and the rel=next link works. So, it looks like the problem is Arras Theme specific in my case. Is it possible to remove the rel=next? Or maybe strip it out of the arras theme in your next update?

No. I’m sorry i’m not going to make changes to that functionality just because some themes are absolute crap. Arras theme uses its queries wrong which causes this, and probably many other issues.

Hi Joost,
first of alll I must say that I love your plugin! It made me very happy, but the issue is true. That rel next tag shouldn’t be there.

To me it looks like a bug in frontend/class-frontend.php, the OR clause makes it apear on the homepage althought you don’t seem to whant that. So if I don’t have the genesis theme and I define a genesis function the link is gone. Here is the code:

// Don't do this for Genesis, as the way Genesis handles homepage functionality is different and causes issues sometimes.
		if ( !is_home() || !function_exists( 'genesis' ) )
			$this->adjacent_rel_links();

Cheers
Dario

UPDATE
My point was just due to the fact that older firefox browsers used those links for prefetching the rel next & prev pages, doubling the reqests to the web server.
This doesn’t happen anymore, but it’s still likley that this can happen as older ff browsers are still there.

Meeanwhile, wp stopped adding those next prev tags so I’m wondering if this has really a benefit for seo.

Anyhow, it doesn’t harm as before so I personally wouldn’t bother that much.

I am having the same issue. The homepage is showing previous page which is same as homepage. The theme is based on Gantry framework and it does use a custom homepage which we can’t select by going to Settings> Reading > static page

The website is at https://www.plusonefoundry.com. I know that this is theme specific problem and not problem with plugin. But have anybody found solution to this issue. For the moment I have commented the

$this->adjacent_rel_links();

puneetas3 please start a new topic as this one is already marked as resolved. Tag your topic with the name of your theme

You need to define in your functions.php an empty function named genesis.
function genesis {}

darioj’s right. function genesis() {} worked for me.
