Yoast SEO and TablePress

    Hi, I just donated since I’ve been using TablePress a lot and I like it. I found a response to a similar question in the support section.

    The original question was, “Will search engines find content in TablePress tables”. Your answer was yes, they will.

    It seems like Yoast SEO won’t though. When I link to content in a TablePress table, Yoast SEO doesn’t seem to notice. Perhaps this would be a better question to post in Yoast’s support forum. I don’t know. I’m not much of a web developer and I’m just trial-and-erroring-it as I go.

    I suppose I could export the table to html and then paste it on the bottom of the page to get Yoast’s “approval”, but I’d have to do it every time I updated the table, which negates one of the best things about TablePress, the easy of updating an sorting links to content.

    Anyway, anyone have any thoughts?

    Thanks!
    Paul

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    You are right, this is probably more a question for Yoast SEO.
    Now, I don’t think that there’s much that they can do here though. This is a general drawback of how the Shortcode system in WordPress works. Other plugins that simply can’t see the content “behind” the Shortcode, before it is actually rendered when the visitor views the page. So, this would actually not just affect TablePress, but any plugin that uses Shortcodes.
    However, tables will still be indexed and seen without problems by search engines.

    Regards,
    Tobias
