You do not need to add Yoast if you only want to add meta tags to the homepage. Just some minor editing will save you on performance. You can use the is_home() function. Insert this to your header.php: <?php if (is_home()) { ?> <meta name=”description” content=”Your description for homepage…” /> <?php } else { ?> … Read more
That’s an unusual setup – Yoast usually recognizes the right permalinks. You may want to consider changing the way you set up your custom post type, so that it has the desired names and URLs to begin with. You’re likely to have two different URLs that point to the same content, which is undesirable for … Read more
Ooohhh you mean “pagination” pages. Gotcha now! It’s hard to say for sure(I know I know), but at first glance it looks like this block of code would be what you’re after: if ( $wp_query->query_vars[‘paged’] && $wp_query->query_vars[‘paged’] > 1 && isset( $options[‘noindex-subpages’] ) && $options[‘noindex-subpages’] ) { $robots[‘index’] = ‘noindex’; $robots[‘follow’] = ‘follow’; } }

For reference the file that handles the tracking and usage statistics for Yoast SEO is located at, path/to/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/admin/class-tracking.php I have linked to the GitHub repository file in question for further inspection upon which you can see somewhat, relatively, harmless collection of data. However what you determine as “harmless” is case dependent because the opposite could … Read more
Maybe this isn’t the best method because it does give an editor access to Settings and Options, but what this does is gives the a specific editor (based on user ID) the permissions to edit options. We then test if we’re loading one of the options template, if we are AND the user id is … Read more
Looking at the filter: $post_content = apply_filters( ‘wpseo_pre_analysis_post_content’, $post->post_content, $post ); it would be a matter of adding your fields content to string being analyzed. You have to do the get_field() part right, this is untested: add_filter( ‘wpseo_pre_analysis_post_content’, ‘filter_yoasts_wpse_119879’, 10, 2 ); function filter_yoasts_wpse_119879( $content, $post ) { $fields = get_field( ‘name’, $post->ID ); return … Read more
