Hi, I want to keep my website URL private here. But I can send you an example to whichever email you want to give me. I’ve just added one redirect to my htaccess file, and it’s working perfectly. So, it’s the redirection plugin, not the server.

I've partially solved it, but it's a bit messy.

I added this below to my functions.php just in case.
<code>add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );</code>
although I later found that it has nothing to do with the problem. Then deactivatedte Yoast SEO from my right panel, and it seems to have fixed it but no, it didn't.

The thing is that when I click on Page Attributes and then change the order or click several times on it up and down, it seems that WordPress makes an Ajax call to any script, and suddenly the feature images panel appears. It's very strange!

I'm sure it's not Astra, because the same thing happens with the default WordPress 23th theme. So I'm sure it's WordPress itself.

I hope it helps someone!

Hi again,
Sorry, but forget this topic.
It was working fine.
The issue was on my end.

My website is being cached. So the first device that visits the page saves it in the cache with the values of that device. When I visit the page again from another device, it shows the cached page, and that’s why it showed my laptop as “mobile”.

I will not be able to use the plugin, but I confirm that it works correctly.

Thank you!

Hi Jordy,
As I told you there is no errors in the logs. That’s the first thing I was looking for.
That’s the weird thing of this, without a clear error, it’s very difficult to debug what’s happening.

I received an error with I updated the plugin, that’s what allowed me to see that the new version 2.0.6 was very different to the 2.0.4 one, including new files inside the folders. Actually the errors were related to some calls to those files from other files.

But now, there is no error. I was thinking if something was corrupted in the database when I installed the new version, because what is pretty weird, is that no version works now, even the 1.5 version I found in an old backup of the website. Pretty weird! And I promise it was working since one month ago with no problem.

But no worries. I already had hard codec the media php to add a link below to every image, and it was easy to add a link to the images as well replacing the default behavior of WordPress. So, do not worry! I fixed by myslef, and I will continue using your plugin just to collect the urls on every featured image.

Thank you!

Hi Jordy, I read all the pages of that post before even write my first post. I do not know what’s happening, but plugin is not working on my end. But as I told you, I have fixed by myself hard coding the media.php file. I’m still using your plugin to get the urls and the url field on feature image from postmeta table.

Next January I will do a new website for a client, and he asked my to use galleries, so I will see if it works with a fresh installation. BTW, I’m using php 7.4, just if helps!

Thanks!

IN my case, links are not working either. I’m writing here, because my case was marked as solved when it’s not absolutely.

You can visit my case here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/the-new-2-0-6-update-broke-down-my-site/

Links are not working on my site on any version. I uploaded version 1.2 and it’s not working either.

Any idea about who to fix it?

Thanks!

Hi again,
I’m back because OF COURSE, it’s not solve yet, but it’s not even working. I mean, the gallery is working, but the links are just pointing to the images, not to the urls of posts.

I tried to upload older versions, and I found the 1.2.7 version, and even the 1.2, but any of them are working. It’s pretty weird!

I’m not sure if the problem is the php version (I’m using 7.4) because I’m receiving no error in the logs, so I’m totally lost. I’m not sure about how the plugin works to be able to debug the problem either, although I know that’s your work.

In the meantime I have hard coded the media.php core file, and as the meta “_gallery_link_url” is being created in the database, it has been easy to replace the url of the attachment by this meta. But obviously it’s not a solution.

I was using WordPress 5.8.1, and just in case, I looked into the console, and I found no errors either. I look into all my exclusion of files with AssetCleanUp Pro as well, and there is no file involved that is being excluded from loading.

Any idea about where to look into the problem to be able to chase it?

Thanks!

Thank you Gerard!
That helps a lot, I understood how it works perfectly!

Hi there,
By the moment I solved by myself, creating two different widgets, one for the Spanish site, and another one for the English site.
By it would be awesome to try to make this plugin working with WPML, so that you only have to insert the reusable block once, and let WPML to translate it on the run.

As far as I know, you only apply an ID to each reusable block to make the plugin works, right? So, I’m sure you would be able to find a way to make WPML find the ID of the English version (in my case the translated version) so that WPML can translate your plugin.

Thanks

Here below you can see the last episode in my issue. This is what happened after I updated to Yoast Seo 15.1. Maybe it can give you the clue to solve my problem. In any case, the plugin supposedly has been updated. it’s so weird!!

Any ideas?

If you can not help me with this, I will buy the Premium service. But, my fear is that after doing it, you tell me that there is something in my site, and you can not do nothing to solve the problem. And the thing is that the hosting is completely new and updated, so it should work properly.

Let me know if you see something here in this message that can help me to solve my isuue.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Jerlyn,
I do not know what kind of report you are expecting from as there are no errors, just the error in the Health System telling you that counter links are not working because Yoast could not create the table that is already in the database, because I created it by hand.

Actually, in the welcome page of the plugin everything seems to be working perfect, although there is no Yoast table in the database, Amazing!! LOL

These posts you suggested me do not resolve my problem at all.

Yoast SEO is not working, and Yoast helper does not help at all in this issue. Actually, if I click in the “Reset Indexables tables & migrations” Yoast helper thrown an error message saying something like it could not reset the tables, and actaullt it deletes completely all Yoast tables from my database, with the exception now of the “wp_yoast_seo_meta” that I created as well by hand yesterday.

Again…

This is what I have now in my wp_config.php
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8mb4’);
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ‘utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci’);

But, in my previous testings this is what I had until yesterday:
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

Any of them make works Yoast SEO properly, nor reset the counter links.

I had to create all the tables by hand, copying them from other client site. This is what I have now in my database:

wp_yoast_indexable
wp_yoast_indexable_hierarchy
wp_yoast_migrations
wp_yoast_primary_term
wp_yoast_seo_links
wp_yoast_seo_meta

Are you missing any table?

After I created them by hand, all the tables started to be filled with data, with the exception of wp_yoast_seo_meta which is completely empty. It seems that this table is the one that should save the links, right?

And again…

I removed completely the plugin form my installation, including removing all the tables, cron jobs, Zend OpCache, site Cache created by WP Rocket, etc… And after the installation of the plugin again, I had no Yoast tables created in my database, but the after the installation, WordPress said that the plugin was installed and activated sucessfully.

The domiain in question, is completely alone in a VPS with Centos 7, Php 7.4, Maria DB 10.3, and all the plugins are updated.

Can I have someone really taking a look to my problem?, or I need to keep on spinning an infinite wheel of answers that solve nothing?. Do not take me wrong, I use Yoast SEO in all the sites of my clients, actually as I told you, I moved this site to WordPress 5.5 only because Yoast SEO 14-15, because you encourage people to move to the last version of WordPress everywhere, including your blog, to have the best of Yoast SEO.

But if I would known than this update is was going to make me lose all these amount of time trying to fix things I would not have done it, absolutely not!

I absolutely regret migrating this site to WordPress 5.5.1. It was a complete mistake, and now it’s too late, of course.

Next step? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

I’m using as Storage Engine: InnoDB, and as DB_COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci. All my tables in the database have the same DB_COLLATE and Storage Engine.

But inside WP_CONFIG there is no DB_COLLATE assigned. Here below you can see what I have on it.

define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

Should I change this? Let me know!

Hi,
I had not that table in my database.
I took the structure and unique index from the database of another client’s website, and now I have it already.

In any case, I have not seen the link to re generate the internal link count yet in the SEO Tools in the backend.

So, what’s the next step to have it working?
I’m still seeing this message in my Health System report: https://pasteboard.co/Jvkgg6i.jpg

1) Yes, all the non yoast plugins are updated. I have only two ones than I have not updated, but it has a minor upgrade from 8.8.20 to 8.10.21, and other one from 4.3.2 to 4.3.3, both of them have silly fixes (almost cosmetic things) that have nothing to do with this issue. Actually, I do not update them only because I need to do again some minor changes on several of its files, to avoid the icons they add in my end, and things like that, and I have no time to do it now. I prefer to fix these mayor errors first.

2) I know perfectly how to see into javascripts errors in console, no worries, I’m programmer, and I can confirm you there is no error in the console, neither in the backend nor in the frontend. Well, I have a javascript error in the frontend related with the log.pinterest.com, but I have been having these error for ages, and I have not been able to fix nor find any answer to fix it yet. But the backend is working perfect with no errors.

See the image when I get the SEO backend: https://pasteboard.co/Jvkfc7z.jpg
Everything seems to be perfect!

The thing is that I’m still receiving the error message in the health system because the system detects there is no table to save those results to the database because a missing table. Actually, the system did not give me the opportunity to re generate those links at any time, like Yoast have done in the case of any of my other sites. And Yoast helper did work in my case, actually Yoast helper removed completely all the Yoast tables again, instead of recreating them. It’s so weird!!

https://pasteboard.co/Jvkgg6i.jpg

Just in case, these are the tables I had to recreate by hand in the database to make Yoast SEO works. Are you missing some table here?

wp_yoast_indexable
wp_yoast_indexable_hierarchy
wp_yoast_migrations
wp_yoast_primary_term
wp_yoast_seo_links

Let me know, because maybe there is a table I need to make it work, and that could solve my issue.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry to be a nag! Regarding the error I’m receiving in the Health Check System “The text link counter feature is not working as expected”. It adds more information saying:”For this feature to work, Yoast SEO needs to create a table in your database. We could not create this table automatically.”

Could let me know the structure of that table in sql, so that I can add it to my database manually.

Thanks!
