Ok awesome! Thanks!

Ok gotcha. Yes good idea to add warning. I had hundreds of manual in there. Whoops. Having to delete LOTS of old, thin content because of the Panda update Google did last year. I lost 3/4 of my organic traffic because of it so the redirects are helping.

I’ll add that question to a new support ticket.

Nope. I clicked delete all thinking it would delete all on that page and it erased every single error log. Even the ones I had custom redirects plugged in for. I assume there’s no way to get those back?

No worries, thanks for the super fast response! That worked! I’ll write a review and give you five stars!

Saintandrews, I have the same question. I don’t want to lose all the keywords and meta data I entered when I delete the plugin. TacoVerdo, will that happen?

Interesting. The first “help” issue on Yoast SEO is this…….

Yoast SEO
Installing, configuring and using the free Yoast SEO plugin.

Your site isn’t indexable

If Yoast SEO reports your site as not indexable by search engines, this can be caused by several reasons. At the same time, it’s an issue of the highest priority, assuming that you want your site to be in Google’s index.

Our best advice is to use the “Analyze entire site” button, create an account on OnPage.org and see what they have to tell you. It could be that you have a robots.txt file that’s blocking indexation, it could be that your theme has some code in it that’s blocking search engines, etc. etc. OnPage.org can tell you what the problem is and how to fix it!

I’m having this issue too. I first contacted my host and was told there is no issue there. I then contacted my theme developer and I was told by my that it’s not a theme issue. I did check the wordpress dashboard and it IS allowing search engine robots to index my home page. This is obviously a yoast issue. I checked Google Webmaster Tools and it is showing that my homepage isn’t indexing.

Message from my theme developer:

This is not a theme issue. Our Theme does not have any setting to prevent search engine robots from indexing site.

It’s a WordPress setting.

Login to your WordPress Dashboard.
Go to -> Settings -> Reading -> Search Engine Visibility
Uncheck the check box and save your changes.
This will allow search engine robots to index your site.

It is also possible to set whether to index or not to index your site or page or post in your third part SEO plugin.
You will have to contact the plugin developer for more details.

Yes only showing on my home page. And yes, I didn’t find it in the html either. Hmm…ok. I’ll check out the link you posted.

I have the pro version but how do I install the child theme?

Is that $39 a one time fee? I noticed in fine print it says +$10 a year for updates. What does that mean? Updates for my personal site?

Above where the logo is there is some white space. My client would like to put a quote up there that is meaningful to her and her site. So basically add text to the top of the site above the logo.

No – I disabled the majority of them but it was still running super slow. Once I get out of adjusting the plugin it runs ok.

Sorry trying to explain it properly. The script is still running and causing the creation of popups to be VERY slow and time out quite a few times. I finally waited long enough to be able to check the auto open which enabled me to change the time to 5000. Hopefully this makes more sense? It appears to be working now.

You were right – I finally was able to check the delay setting. It had been so slow with that script running that I had been unable to check the box and adjust the time.
