Hi Sybre,

Thanks again.

“Pages only when there is a parent page”: confirmed. Earlier I only checked on toplevel pages.

Just checked posts: also confirmed.

So it all looks good.

If there is anything I am cautious about I will use your contact form. So far everything is OK.

Thanks!

You’re welcome. You spend a lot of time on my questions, but this was one I could help with.

??

You are quite right! Thanks for clearing things up.

Hi Sybre,

I get your point. But what I actually needed, was a check whether the plugin was present (not if it was already loaded).

So this will work, isn’t it?

if (defined('THE_SEO_FRAMEWORK_VERSION')) {
    do_my_thing();
}

Or is that not advisable?

Hi Sybre,

Thanks for answering! I do not quite follow why apply_filters is called everytime I want to check if the plugin is present, but I will follow your directions.

Have a good day!

Hi Julius,

You might want to check “SEO Data Migration” at the end of the FAQ section first:

Sybre wrote about transitioning in this thread:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/steps-to-change-seo-plugin-to-this-one

I’ll leave the rest of your question to Sybre.

I favor transient caching as well. Good luck with bughunting!

Hi Sybre,

The Sitelinks Search Box is no big deal. I can disable it right from the settings page.

I do not see anything regarding breadcrumbs in the source of the pages of the website that I am testing. Can you tell me what setting(s) need to be on and what I should see in the html?

Thanks a lot!

@Sybre,

It would be strange if Object Caching were the cause of this:

By default, the object cache is non-persistent. This means that data stored in the cache resides in memory only and only for the duration of the request.

Found here:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Class_Reference/WP_Object_Cache

There is probably another cause to this.

Hi Sybre,

Basically I do an action on ‘template_redirect’ and in that action I check if $_GET[‘s’] has a value (and we’re on a search results page). In that case I do a redirect to a certain page that explains there is no search function on the website.

In case you want to know exactly I can cut, adapt and paste my code.

Regarding the ld+json breadcrumbs: should they be there if the website has either posts, pages or products? That sounds a bit like ALL websites. The website that I am now testing has pages but no ld+json breadcrumbs. “Enable Breadcrumbs?” is checked.

By the way: Right now there are no ld+json scripts visible in the source at all. Even when “Sitelinks Search Box” is checked the code that I gave above is now gone. I updated to the latest version (2.6.3). Any ideas?

Oops, probably found the answer myself:

Is it the “Sitelinks Search Box” setting? If that’s the case I can set this to resolved…

Hi Sybre,

Fantastic! Version 2.6.2 fixes the custom post issue that we talked about. I’ll start testing the plugin on more sites now. If anything comes up, I’ll let you know.

Have a good day!

Its a big effort, that’s for sure! Hope you keep getting bread on the table. And hopefully some cheese as well. And a few karma points here and there… ??

Great! I’ll check it as soon as 2.6.2 is out.

Have a great day. And… take some time off, enjoy some tea, have some cake… Life is wonderful! ??

@Sybre,

Yes, that is how I have been using it. If rewrite is not false WordPress will generate pages from the custom post (so SEO is needed). If rewrite is false no pages are generated, so no SEO needed. In that case the custom post is probably used in some other way (in a shortcode maybe). The rewrite arguments might also be a factor that needs to be accounted for. I’m not 100% sure.

It might be a good idea if we get some more input here.

The example that I wrote about has public=false, rewrite=false, but it has title+content. It gets a SEO metabox and also SEO column with CSS error. Both are not needed in my opinion.

I’m enthousiastic about your plugin AND the way you handle support. I can only guess at how much time is involved, and if I can help here and there that’s fine. Let’s all work together and make this THE plugin to go to when you need SEO.
