Incompatible with Multilingual Press

    Barely found the problem. When editing few languages, any non-primary language texts will be lost after an attempt to publish them with Yoast SEO on. After pressing “Publish” or “Update” WP first will ask you “Are you sure you want to do this” and this already says it’s lost the non-primary language (if you edit a German site, any other translations will be lost).

    Yoast SEO somehow stops the Multilingual Press or multisite from loading those languages too. Suppose, if you had had a translation working adequately well, then install Yoast SEO, then you will suddently stop seeing translations completed in the editor at all. Only current language. The sites belonging to different languages seem to stop interacting.

    When I turned off Yoast SEO, things got back to the norm.

    Additionally, I dislike the overly heavy interface and paid options for rather basic things like several focus words.

    Looking for another plugin now.

  • Hi tormondo,

    I am the lead developer of MultilingualPress, and we already provided a fix for what you described. It is currently waiting for review, and will hopefully be pushed out soon in a patch release.

    The bug comes with a completely new feature of Yoast SEO, so switching to a new plugin if you have been satisifed with what Yoast was offering you until the bug is, in my opinion, a bit overhasty. But that is, of course, up to you.

    Kind regards,
    Thorsten

    I tried adding this code and turning on Yoast (WordPress SEO); my result was that I no longer get the message, but I also don’t get the draft saved in the other language.

    Or am I seeing a different problem? With WordPress SEO turned on, I can no longer created the drafts in other languages — I get the error referenced above. When I added your code, I get no error, but neither do I get the draft for translation created in the other language site.
