If highlite this result in text is clicked all captions are gone

    If highlight this result in the text is clicked all captions are gone.

    It is quite easy to reproduce this in WordPress’s classic editor.

    Insert in a post the focused keyword many times so the keyphrase density gets red.
    Then click on the eye next to this to highlight the over-optimized keyphrase.
    And, all photos captions disappear.
    At the same time, in the text editor, all alt texts are replaced with this: (alt=”"<yoastmark”)

    It is an old bug I believe that is not fixed for 2 years.

    A reason to be very careful and not to save the post before check that everything is fine.
    If this happens just reload the page and save your self from a big hassle.
    This is a very dangerous behavior and a reason to abandon the plugin forever!

    Thanks for pointing me to the bug report.
    So to be on the safe side alt text needs to be different than caption text.

    OR STAY FAR AWAY FROM THE EYE!!!!!!!

    This is impossible for the old posts, there are hundreds of them.

    It surprises me and everybody, how this thing hasn’t been addressed for so long!
    Is there any hope?

    I must add this.

    You shouldn’t feel sorry about my frustration, You should be very sorry about your selves, you are unable to fix something for two years!

    Is that happen on the premium version too?

    the number of users affected

    You can’t know this number.
    Most don’t even notice.

    Hi @satsoklgr,

    Thanks for bringing this issue back to our attention. The workaround is to reword the alt text to remove the keyphrase. Does the problem still happen if you do this?

    Also, could you let us know what versions of Yoast SEO, WordPress, and the Classic Editor you’re using? That will help us add an update to the issue.

    Hi

    I’m not going to change alt text for thousands of images.

    I edit old posts a lot, so I just have to be careful before saving, or better avoid the eye, it’s that simple.
    Never used those calculations on keyphrases anyway, so it took me 2 years to notice the problem, and I noticed it on a long page with more than 15 images, something not very often.

    Versions?
    Always the latest in everything.
