Hi @donorbrain,

Thanks for reaching out.

We would like to let you know that the Yoast SEO plugin analyzes the default WordPress content areas like the title, URL, and the main content box (WordPress editor). If you are adding your content through other plugin or theme content boxes (as most page builders do), Yoast SEO may not be able to detect it by default. Currently, we are compatible with the Elementor page builder. The?Yoast SEO Elementor integration?is free to use for everyone; no premium or add-on is required for core functionality.

If you are using another page builder, please understand that page builders commonly use a custom editor designed by their team. Because plugins rely on the default editor, some page builders make the data entered into their editor available in the default editor. In these cases, Yoast SEO will see and analyze the content as if created with the default editor. When this is not the case, an integration feature must be available to parse the page builder content into Yoast SEO for analysis.

It’s like opening a room to find a safe inside it. Unless you have the code to unlock the safe, you can only see the inside of the room. To get the code to open the safe, you must contact the person who set the unlock code. We have tried to automatically unlock and parse content from other plugins and themes with inferior results in the past. Therefore, we opted to provide an API that developers can use to unlock their content and pass it to our page analysis.

If you are using a plugin or theme that doesn’t send or incorrectly sends their content to our page analysis, please reach out to the author or developer regarding the integration feature. Our development team provides information about creating a custom integration here. In the meantime, you can create a draft post without using the page builder and copy the content section from the frontend of your site into the default editor. The Yoast analysis will run on the draft’s copy of the content so you can review and change the content in both editors. Once you’ve optimized the content, you can discard the draft copy.

Although our plugin does not detect your content and shows an incorrect analysis report, this does not affect how search engines crawl and analyze your site. Search engines process the front end of your site and will detect your content.

Hi @mirjanaword,

I’m sorry you couldn’t complete the SEO data optimization after following the steps in our previous reply. Can you please try the following steps below?

1. For the health and safety of your site, we recommend creating regular backups of your website and database. This is especially important before installing, updating, or removing plugins. Learn more about?the benefits of regular backups.
2. Install and activate the?Yoast Test Helper?plugin if you don’t have it.
3. Same for the Health Check plugin:?https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/health-check/. The plugin will permit you to perform a conflict check by deactivating plugins and switching themes.?Doing so will not affect your site’s SEO, and your visitors will still be able to view your site as usual.
4. Verify you have the?default theme Twenty-Twenty Two.?If not, please install it.
5. Go to your WordPress admin dashboard > Tools (on the left sidebar) > Yoast Test.
6. Click on the ‘Reset indexables tables & migrations,’ ‘Reset Prominent words calculation, and ‘Reset Internal link counter’ buttons. After each click, the page will reload to confirm that each reset was successful.
7. Activate the Troubleshooting Mode (TM) in the Health Check plugin.
8. In TM, activate only the Yoast SEO plugin and the default theme Twenty-Twenty Two.
9. Rerun the SEO data optimization.
10. Deactivate the Troubleshooting Mode in the Health Check plugin.
    In this way, was the SEO data optimization completed?

Hi @cnastav,

If you’ve already verified your site in the Google Search Console, there’s no need to verify it again.

You can safely ignore this field on the Yoast SEO plugin, as this field is only to help website owners who don’t know how to verify the site via Google Search Console.

Hi @amaheer1,

Thanks for reaching out.

I’ve checked the latest version of the Yoast SEO plugin in a fresh WordPress installation, but I’m unable to reproduce the issue.

Can you please confirm that you’re running the latest version of all the plugins and themes on your site?

A?blank meta box or a similar issue occurs due to a JavaScript conflict. We’d like you to perform a conflict check to help us determine the next steps while saving you time.

Often, we see problems occur in combination with another plugin or theme. The fastest way to rule out any conflict is to deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme like Twenty Twenty-Two.

Please test this on your development or staging site if you have one. If not, we recommend using the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin. This plugin has a troubleshooting mode, which does not affect normal visitors to your site.

If you’re unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we’d like to point you to a step-by-step guide that will walk you through the process: How to check for plugin conflicts

If you feel uncomfortable doing this yourself or if this does not solve your issue, our Yoast SEO Premium plugin comes with one year of (technical) support.

Hi @hunter44,

The database tables that you have shared are not from the Yoast SEO plugin.

These are from your Google Analytics plugin.

Hi @bahus,

Thanks for reaching out.

Please provide us with screenshots that highlight the issue you are experiencing. You can use any image-sharing service like https://pasteboard.co/, https://snag.gy/, https://imgur.com/, https://snipboard.io/, or even upload the screenshot to your own website. Once you upload it to an image-sharing service, please share the link to the image here.

Hi @mvkat,

Thanks for reaching out.

Blocking access to robots on your staging site while optimizing with Yoast is a smart move to prevent search engines from indexing unfinished or duplicate content. Using Yoast in this way shouldn’t pose any problems as long as you remember to unblock robots once you’ve replaced the live site with the staged one.

Hi @jagrutiparihar1712,

It can take up to a week for Google to index the changes you made, depending on how often they crawl your site. So, we’ll have to wait for Google to crawl your site again. As mentioned in our previous reply, sometimes you can speed up this process as described in this article:?How to update information in Google search results

Hi @jannedermeijer

Thanks for reaching out.

In order to troubleshoot the issue, we need some more information.

Hi @nuoanunu,

Thanks for reaching out.

The Yoast SEO plugin uses the Site URL for all the processes.

Therefore as a first step, we ask you to try the following:

1. Install and activate the Yoast Test Helper plugin if you don’t have it.
2. Same for the Health Check plugin: <u>https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/health-check/</u&gt;. The plugin will permit you to perform a conflict check by deactivating plugins and switching themes. Doing so will not affect the SEO of your site, and your visitors will still be able to view your site as usual.
3. Verify you have the default theme Twenty-Twenty. If not, please install it.
4. Go to your WordPress admin dashboard > Tools (on the left sidebar) > Yoast Test.
5. Click on the ‘Reset indexables tables & migrations,’ ‘Reset Prominent words calculation, and ‘Reset Internal link counter’ buttons. After each click, the page will reload to confirm that each reset was successful.
6. Activate the Troubleshooting Mode (TM) in the Health Check plugin.
7. In TM, activate only the Yoast SEO plugin and the default theme Twenty-Twenty.
8. Rerun the SEO data optimization.
9. Deactivate the Troubleshooting Mode in the Health Check plugin.

In this way, was the SEO data optimization completed?

Hi @sanderrrrr,

Thanks for reaching out.

The Yoast SEO plugin is not using a table named “ee_product_feed”.

We recommend creating regular backups of your site and database for your site’s health and safety. A backup is crucial before making important changes on your website?and provides you with a safety net if something were to go wrong. Learn more about the benefits of regular backups.

We’d be grateful if you would spare a few moments to share your experience with the Yoast SEO plugin here:?https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/wordpress-seo/reviews/

We would greatly appreciate it!

Have a nice day!

Hi @kemal28,

Thanks for using the Yoast SEO plugin.

I understand that the featured image that you have set for your homepage is not showing on the Google mobile search results.

I hope you’re checking the results from a mobile device.

I’ve checked the homepage of your site and I can see that the Yoast SEO plugin correctly outputs “primaryImageofPage” property in the page’s schema data.

There can be multiple reasons why Google is not showing them. For instance, it can just be that Google hasn’t re-crawled them if you have recently added them. Or Google can just decide they are not relevant to the search term, location, user.

Adding images does not force Google to always show them, and there is no way to force it either.
