If anyone else encounters this, check your source code and try and find the date in question to see where it’s being inputted, Googlebot normally finds these dates there. It turned out the Googlebot was picking up a date in the footer of my site, via the WordPress Latest Posts Widget, where I had selected … Read more
You can use the exact same filter in your template files. If you do need it in functions.php for any reason (maybe you have some additional processing) then you can use your own custom filter. functions.php: function my_custom_authorpage_title( $title ) { // process … return apply_filters( ‘my_title’, $title ); } add_filter( ‘wpseo_title’, ‘my_custom_authorpage_title’ ); author.php … Read more
We generally don’t answer plugin-specific questions here so you may find more help in a Yoast-specific forum. To point you toward the right direction, though, there is a filter called wpseo_breadcrumb_output. In either a custom plugin or your theme’s functions.php file, you can add something to the effect of add_filter(‘wpseo_breadcrumb_output’, ‘change_breadcrumb_names’); function change_breadcrumb_names($output) { if(is_page(12)) … Read more
You would need to look in the Yoast plugin to find what the global class is that is referred to as $this, so that you can access it outside the class context. If it was for example, $wpseo, in your functions.php you could do something like: $wpseo = WPSEO_Frontend::get_instance(); remove_action( ‘wpseo_head’, array( $wpseo, ‘canonical’ ), … Read more
Yoast SEO can have limitations for archive pages. Try a different SEO plugin such as Rank Math perhaps. Your other option would be to open the archive.php file of your theme and add your custom code in there if required. You may also contact the developers of that podcasting plugin to see if they have … Read more
Here’s how I fixed it. If you paste this code in your theme’s functions.php, it will use the image set for Facebook also for Twitter if no image is set for Twitter. If there is not image set for both Facebook and Twitter, it falls back to the default Facebook image in the Yoast settings … Read more

Throw this into your functions.php: function clear_yoast_metadesc( $metadesc ) { return ”; } add_filter( ‘wpseo_metadesc’, ‘clear_yoast_metadesc’, 99, 1 ); If you set the $metadesc to empty like that, it won’t be echoed. BTW, bulk editing is very hard on my to-do list, so you would be able to switch back completely 🙂
You can use the wpseo_title filter to read the tag for your site title after WPSEO creates it, and if it’s not there, add it on. add_filter( ‘wpseo_title’, ‘wpse137502_wpseo_title’ ); function wpse137502_wpseo_title( $title ) { $site_title = get_bloginfo( ‘name’ ); if ( ! strpos( $title, $site_title ) ) { $title .= ” | ” . … Read more
I would read this article, its from Yoast. I don’t think you are understanding what the focus keyword feature does. This article talks about that as well as how adding the keyword meta tag is a waste of time (in most cases). I wouldn’t worry about adding it BUT if you still want to I … Read more
