User Meta desc and title location

    We are using Yoast as part of a headless WP install and have had no issues up until now using graphql as our api delivery language.

    On a recent update to our site we noticed that the title and meta for users no longer comes from wp_yoast_indexable and instead is updated in the wp_usermeta table. Is this correct? Previously we had records for our users in the aforementioned indexable table?

    OK, I have tracked down the issue to the fact that we are not using posts anymore in favour of a custom post type which is breaking the author archives when it checks to see if an author has any published posts before saving to the wp_yoast_indexable table.

    Is there a way around this? What would be the best solution to restore this functionality for our custom post type.

    Hello @mctrials23

    Thanks for using the Yoast SEO plugin but the issue isn’t clear. Do you mean the title and meta description for the custom post type are not being saved anymore into the wp_yoast_indexable table?

    Hi, thanks for the reply. I have worked out what the issue was. The issue was that the meta title and description were not being added to the wp_yoast_indexable table for the authors of our custom post type. We had moved all of our posts from the default posts type to a custom one which meant some checks for author metadata were failing. The solution seems to have been to add that custom post type via a filter to wpseo_author_archive_post_types.

    Thanks for sharing the solution; it’d be helpful for others in the future. This thread was marked resolved as the original poster confirmed the issue no longer occurs on their site.
