Problem after Yoast SEO update

    I have two sites using this plugin and also running Yoast SEO. After an update was applied bringing Yoast SEO up to the current version (5.5.1), pages on both sites that had been set to Public Access ended up with 2 (new?) user roles (SEO Manager and SEO Editor) checked off as restricted. Public Access to those pages was also restricted even though the box was not checked off for that (i.e., you had to log in to see the home page).

    I had to manually edit the affected pages and uncheck the boxes to unrestrict those roles, after which Public Access worked again. I don’t know if this is an issue related specifically to Yoast, or if the same thing would happen if any other plugin added new user roles after this plugin did its thing.

    I am not sure at the moment if I am running this on other sites where the Yoast update has not yet been applied. Is there a way to prevent this from happening there, or zap the database to remove restrictions for new user roles, if those got created somehow?

    Thanks,

    Barry

  • I am seeing this problem too. Until this problem is fixed, the quicker solution is to go into RCBR settings and reset role permissions for those two roles.

    Thank you both for these options! I have both plugins on my site and didn’t know how to solve it. So the only option was to disable yoast. ?? This fixed it.

    I really appreciate it!
