You will want to make use of Yoast SEO’s “WPSEO_Frontend” class. To display the meta description field content, you could do the following: <?php if (class_exists(‘WPSEO_Frontend’)) { echo WPSEO_Frontend::metadesc(false); } ?>
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

A simple way to achieve this (but without the Class approach) is by filtering the output of wp_head action hook using the output buffering. In your theme’s header.php, wrap the wp_head() call with ob_start($cb) and ob_end_flush(); functions like: ob_start(‘ad_filter_wp_head_output’); wp_head(); ob_end_flush(); Now in theme functions.php file, declare your output callback function (ad_filter_wp_head_output in this case): … Read more
On remove_meta_box is a note: Because you can’t remove a meta box until it’s been added, it’s important to make sure your call to remove_meta_box() happens in the right sequence. WordPress SEO adds meta boxes on add_meta_boxes action with default priority – 10, which run after admin_init, so that won’t remove them. Instead you need … Read more
It didn’t say in the API docs on the Yoast SEO plugin site what the ID was and I don’t have a copy of Yoast at installed at disposal, but according to yoas-plugin-dir/admin/class-metabox.php line 144, the meta_box registered is; add_meta_box( ‘wpseo_meta’, …etc ); … Which is hooked onto add_meta_boxes hook on line 32 of the … Read more
Here’s the general principle of what you need to do: Hook into the wpseo_breadcrumb_links or wp_seo_get_bc_ancestors API filters. Add your Blog into the WordPress SEO Breadcrumb $links array, using array_splice. Place this in your theme’s functions.php: /** * Conditionally Override Yoast SEO Breadcrumb Trail * http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/wordpress-seo/trunk/frontend/class-breadcrumbs.php * ———————————————————————————– */ add_filter( ‘wpseo_breadcrumb_links’, ‘wpse_100012_override_yoast_breadcrumb_trail’ ); function wpse_100012_override_yoast_breadcrumb_trail( … Read more
Get Archive SEO titles If you defined a Custom Post Type archive title you can get that by: $titles = get_option( ‘wpseo_titles’ ); $title = $titles[‘title-ptarchive-POST_TYPE’]; echo apply_filters( ‘the_title’, $title ); Remember to replace POST_TYPE by your own Custom Post Type. To display all the wpseo_title variables, you can use: printf( ‘<pre>%s</pre>’, print_r( get_option( ‘wpseo_titles’ … Read more
