Hi @johndoe121,

Thanks for asking. These forums are meant for questions about our free product and not meant to upsell paid products. Having said that, would you have sent this question to our support team, they would have told you you can activate a bundled subscription on a single site.

If you would need separate plugins on different sites, the plugins should be bought separately.

Hi @madammeke,

Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, this can happen during (auto)updates due to the way the WordPress update systems work. This is beyond the control of our plugin, unfortunately.

The quickest way to resolve it is by using your web host’s file manager or FTP access to remove the folder /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo (assuming it’s a standard installation of Yoast SEO). Once that is done, you can install the plugin again.

If you don’t know how to do either of these, the best you can do is to reach out to your web host. They should be able to help you.

Good luck resolving this annoying problem!

Thanks for the follow-up. As @mazedulislamkhan said, we’ve identified the bug and it’s on our team’s radar.

At this time, I don’t have an estimation yet as to when it will be fixed unfortunately.

We absolutely messed up the 19.5 release last Tuesday. That should not have happened and we’re deeply sorry about breaking your sites. We did push a new release as fast as we could (19.5.1) but failed to acknowledge publicly the fact that this shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

That we also ran into a bug with www.ads-software.com itself that caused the .zip file to be unavailable for a while didn’t help the situation at all.

So yes, you have all the right to be mad at us for this. We’re sorry and promise to do better in the future.

Note: If you are seeing this thread and still have these problems, please go to https://yoa.st/4mw for the steps on how to resolve this problem.

@docster If you still encounter these errors today, can you please start a new thread on these forums with as much as information as you can possibly provide.

Thanks in advance for helping us resolve this!

You can’t manually edit the sitemap, but you can fairly easily adjust it through code.

You can find all the relevant information to do that in our API documentation at https://developer.yoast.com/features/xml-sitemaps/api/.

Hi @tsart,

This indeed is a strange problem. When Yoast SEO is enabled, can you see in the browser console or network tab if there are any errors on the page?

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.

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 @jimbojoho, thanks for reaching out. The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that the WordPress REST API might be disabled. This could cause the problem as you’re seeing it on your site.

Could you check if that is the case on your site too, please?

Hi @openthebible,

Thank you for reporting this. We’re investigating this problem as we’ve received multiple similar reports. Did this recently start occurring, or has it been like this for a longer period of time?

Thanks for the additional info!

@apg1912 Earlier this week, we released version 19.5 which had a compatibility problem with version 19.0 of our own Yoast SEO Premium plugin. That problem caused fatal errors on the front end of the affected websites.

While we managed to address and resolve the problem fairly quickly with a patch release, too many sites were negatively affected.

Version 19.5.1 does not have this problem anymore and should be safe to update to.

That said, we always have and always will advise you to create a full backup of your entire site before updating any plugin, theme, or WordPress itself. That way you can always roll back to a previous state of your site.

I’m not sure I understand what you’re trying to reach.

Could you maybe clarify with a few screenshots?

@oldjoeblind Thanks for asking. I had to check with a development team for an answer to this, but they say it is possible, but may require a bit of work.

Since the analysis happens in JavaScript in the post editor, removing a field from the analysis should happen in JavaScript as well.

It would need some work on your end though. You’d need to write a JavaScript file that:

1. Listens for changes in these yoast_ignore checkbox subfields.
2. When one of the checkboxes is checked: adds the parent field’s name to the window.YoastACFAnalysisConfig.blacklistName global variable.
3. When one of the checkboxes is unchecked: remove the parent’s field name from the global variable again.

Please let us know if that helped you!

Hi @exisdev,

When you have ACF Content Analysis for Yoast SEO installed and enabled, you should see that content in the Flexible Content areas is included in the analysis.

You can test this by taking a red or orange check in the SEO analysis and resolving that in the Flexible Content. If the check then indeed changes to green, you know it works well.

If it doesn’t, please update all plugins and WordPress to the latest version and share screenshots of what’s happening on your install. That may help us helping you.

Thanks!

Hi @adskiller,

If the data you’ve added in your ACF fields is used in the analysis of Yoast SEO, you know the glue plugin is working.

If you’re unsure if that’s the case, please reach out to our premium support team through the Help button (bottom right) in your MyYoast account.
