Repeating meta title + description in Pages/Posts overview

    I’m seeing a strange issue where, when I adjust the Screen Options to view the meta title and meta description in the overview of a content type, the preview repeats whatever the top row is. (When I edit the individual page/post, the metadata is correct — it’s just the overview screen for Pages, Posts, etc.

    We’re sorry that you are experiencing problems with our plugin. We can see the duplicate title and meta descriptions listed for every posts visible on the SEO column.

    This may happen when the previously optimized data is invalid or when there is a plugin or theme conflict. We’ll start with a reset of the optimization to make sure we’ve cleared out previously optimized data. You may be hesitant to reset data, but we can assure you that this does not undo any of the hard work you’ve done when it comes to the SEO of your content.

    To reset the data, please follow these steps:

    • Install & activate the?Yoast Test Helper?plugin
    • Go to your WordPress admin dashboard > Tools (sidebar) > Yoast Test
    • Locate the Yoast SEO section and click on the ‘Reset indexables tables & migrations’, ‘Reset Prominent words calculation, and ‘Reset Internal link counter’ buttons. After each click, the page will reload to confirm that each reset was successful.

    Now that you have removed any previously stored data, you’ll need to rerun the data optimization from the Yoast SEO > Tools menu.

    If the optimization completes successfully after the reset, please check the SEO column and we expect the issue to be fixed.

    Hi @suascat_wp, thanks so much for this guidance! Really appreciate your response.

    Our team just attempted to follow these instructions but ran into an issue on the final step of re-running the optimization tool, as it is a staging environment we are working in. We see an error of “SEO data optimization is disabled for non-production environments.”

    Is there an alternative way to fix this for a staging site?

    Hi @yolobean

    You must set the?WordPress environment type?to ‘production‘ before you run SEO data optimization.

    Since WordPress 5.5, the new?wp_get_environment_type()?function can be used to retrieve the current environment of a site. You can learn more on this from?Yoast developer portal

    Hi @crecentech

    We are sorry you’re having the same issue. Please open a new request. That way, it’s easier to track issues and provide assistance. Thanks!
