Yoast SEO stores the primary term ID as the post meta field _yoast_wpseo_primary_{taxonomy}. Knowing this you can use a meta query to get all posts with primary category ID X: $query = new WP_Query([ ‘cat’ => ‘X’, // Just in case Yoast data corrupted & post no longer attached to X term but primary meta … Read more
You might think it’s 39 characters long, but it’s actually 332 characters long. This is the real URL you’re trying to use: https://sitename.com/%D8%A8%D8%B1%D9%85%D8%AC%D8%A9-%D8%AA%D8%B5%D9%85%D9%8A%D9%85-%D9%85%D9%88%D9%82%D8%B9-%D9%85%D8%B1%D9%83%D8%B2-%D8%B1%D9%81%D8%B9-%D8%AA%D8%AD%D9%85%D9%8A%D9%84-%D8%AA%D8%B7%D8%A8%D9%8A%D9%82-%D8%AA%D8%B7%D8%A8%D9%8A%D9%82%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D8%A7%D9%8A%D9%81%D9%88%D9%86-%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%AF%D8%B1%D9%88%D9%8A%D8%AF/ But Those Aren’t Arabic Characters?! There’s no such thing as a true Arabic URL. HTTP requests don’t use unicode, and the RFC that determines a valid URL doesn’t include non-latin characters. Then … Read more
This seams to be an issue with the header(‘HTTP/1.1 200 OK’) function call in Yoast’s WordPress SEO plugin that is not compatible with my server configuration (Nginx with some security config in front, then apache for php processing). In some way I do not fully understand, this php function call was forcing the server to … Read more
It is suppose to work this way. Joost’s plugin only gives you a great tool for you to optimize your snippet. If you haven’t done any optimizations whatsoever, like creating an awesome brief description of what your content is all about, Google will probably try to figure out what’s the best bit of content by … Read more
Information attached to the wp_head action hook is echoed (if it needs to be echoed) as it occurs. There is no “wp_head” content string that you can search and replace. You will need to find the callback functions/methods for the data you are interested in manipulating and hope that there hooks built in that will … Read more
