@tacoverdo yeah once in-person events are restarted and y’all are near the UK we might catch up alright? ??
Cheers,

The only error message now, is Yoast telling me I’m running < 5.4 and I’m not. ??

@pcosta88 it seems like you’ve just saved the day mate.
Based on your points 3 and 4 I’ve installed both plugins you asked about and magically it fixed the problem. So now these custom posts can be SEOd with Yoast.

Not sure if this is part of any documentation anywhere, but it might possibly be a good idea to mention it in some config docs … “if you’re using magical themes which add custom post types, you might as well need ACF + ACF Yoast pairing plugins ”

Where can I buy you a beer? ??
Thank you ever so much.
Cheers,
SZ

@pcosta88 , let me try to come back to all of these:
1., for that custom post type the classic editor is default and I’m using that.
2., These custom post types come with a theme I’m using so I assume they’re using them for all custom post types.
This is the exact theme I’m using:
https://themeforest.net/item/astro-showcasephotography-wordpress-theme/6364365?gclid=CjwKCAjw4MP5BRBtEiwASfwAL-B5kVxmvQtC6aJ8yw4iar0xLUhJJqoi4tWxwfKHmw0jbSeUSpT3URoCxZYQAvD_BwE
and only slightly modified the looks of it without touching the guts of the custom types.
3., Yes, all plugins are updated and the ACF plugin is not installed
4., I didn’t know such thing exists, but now I have installed it just to give it a go, to see if that fixes it and it didn’t. So when the problem became apparent I wasn’t using said plugin.

@devnihil since the code formatting in the above comment is quite ugly here’s the bit which tells you something I hope (as seeing the line numbers in minified versions of js files is not useful at all just breaks code formatting I guess):
acf-input.min.js?ver=5.7.12:3 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read property 'getPostEdits' of null

^^ this comes out twice.
and that error message with WP being < 5.4 which is not true.

@devnihil, yeah sure.
Here’s the output:
post-edit-1470.js:1 Marking links with nofollow/sponsored has been disabled for WordPress installations < 5.4. Please upgrade your WordPress version or install the Gutenberg plugin to get this Yoast SEO feature.

The interesting bit is Yoast is saying I have WP < 5.4 and I triple checked that I’m definitely running 5.4.2.

Does that help at all? Do you need me to do anything else?
Thanks again,
SZ

@devnihil, thanks for your response.
I went through the troubleshooting thing and during troubleshooting I need two plugins enabled only to reproduce the problem. These are Astro Framework (which creates the custom post types where I experience the problem) and of course, Yoast SEO itself as I need to see that is working with said custom post types.
The theme is twenty twenty as recommended and unfortunately, the same issue crops up.

The reason I think there was something amiss in the last update is that before the latest version it was working perfectly with all the normal posts and the aforementioned custom post types as well. Now it DOES work with the normal posts, but doesn’t with the custom post types.

Umm any other ideas what might have broken it?

As I see from the changelog this last one was quite a hefty changeset so it might have been something innit that slipped through QAs cracks? ??

Greatly appreciate your kind help in advance,
Best,
Sz
