UPDATE required: Yoast SEO & qTranslate-X

Hello. Now the majority of people have the version 3. Does anybody know how to solve this issue in v3?

Thanks

NOTE: This is the same as I have put in https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/language-switcher-doesnt-change-meta-content?replies=6#post-7970428, but place it here too, for your reference.

There is quite a difference in the behavior of the meta fields, depending on whether I change their values or not and what Yoast SEO version you are using. Let’s see 3 cases, but first the setup:

WordPress Version 4.4.1 (es_ES)
– Yoast SEO Version 3.0.7
– Yoast SEO & qTranslate-X = Version 1.1
– qTranslate-X version Version 3.4.6.4
– qTranslate slug Version 1.1.18

CASE 1 – WITHOUT changing the Title and Description fields of Yoast SEO

This is how it looks in the default language (Spanish) ES: https://screencast.com/t/mVxJBVRMPrC – The meta description shows internal code, the rest is normal.

This is how it looks after switching to English EN: https://screencast.com/t/3jyjpilm – The meta keyword and title has changed correctly and even the meta description has changed its internal code, only the main SEO evaluation keyword (Palabra clave principal) has kept the Spanish value.

Sometimes I have also seen the first lines of the text as meta description, so the internal code is not shown always. If I clear the meta description value again, the behavior is as in case 1.

CASE 2 – WITH changing the Title and Description fields of Yoast SEO

Here I only need to show the English part, where the corresponding title and description field always keep the last entered values in both languages, https://screencast.com/t/LemXqHaaB.

So if I change the now the English part this will be also shown in the Spanish side: https://screencast.com/t/UVXRoGyCAj

CASE 3 – Using Yoast SEO Version 2.3.5

I deactivated and uninstalled Yoast SEO Version 3.0.7 and then installed Yoast SEO Version 2.3.5 (https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/wordpress-seo.2.3.5.zip).

After that all works fine. And although after changing the language Yoast does not change the snippet preview, https://screencast.com/t/2lI6huicaa, it will once you refresh the page. I have also verified the metas of each language in the source code and they are correct.

For now, I will keep Yoast SEO Version 2.3.5, but would love to know when this problem has been resolved.

Hi All,

Could you please test the new version: https://github.com/qTranslate-Team/wp-seo-qtranslate-x/releases/tag/1.2 before it is released?

Let us know what else is not working.

Do not forget to get the latest qtx too: https://github.com/qTranslate-Team/qtranslate-x/archive/stable.zip

Thanks a lot!

Hi John,

did you actually get some feedback regarding the new version of the plugin?
Quite frankly I didn’t want to risk a potential problem on my site yet…

Yes, people report all good in the essential part. Section of Known Issues of readme lists the problems left. We are waiting on qtx new release and then this new plugin will be released too.

Yes, you are write, you should always test any new update on a test-copy of the site and, only when it all is good, apply it to the live one, and make sure to have a backup of live site anyway, since something unexpected may always come up.

Hi John, I’ve been testing the new beta version and it seems that it’s blocking the “Visual Composer” Addon Editor…maybe this is of some help…
