Issue with indexing due to plug-in

    Hey hey

    So this is slightly connected to an earlier issue CodeMonkeyNorth had with the Permalink field disappearing in the meta area. You’ll have to forgive me because I’m not very technical, so I won’t be able to explain things as well as he did.

    But I noticed that our permalink editor wasn’t in the main meta section on the right side. We still had the “custom permalink” option at the bottom of the page, though, in a stack of several other add-ons (like Twitter cards and after post subscribe).

    In the two latest articles I wrote, I used that bottom of the page field to change the permalink for the post. The result?

    Google indexed the site but it somehow associated the article with the homepage rather than the article. You could google exact phrases from the article and nothing would appear. Google the exact tile, and it brings up a result for the Film Colossus homepage.

    My partner posted a new article and didn’t do that. He was using Chrome rather than Safari and wasn’t having the same permalink issue, I think don’t. And his article was indexed correctly.

    So…Idk what you can do with that information. But thought it was worth providing, just in case? I disabled the plugin and I’m no longer having the issue with the main permalink window disappearing.

    I had to re-activate the plug-in because some of our legacy articles from a previous website build stopped working.

    But now I can’t actively edit the permalink anymore. I tried Chrome and that didn’t work either.

    So I’m kind of at a loss for what to do. If the Permalink box does appear in the right side of the page, then it immediately disappears the moment I tried to edit it.

    Temporary solution seems to be to switch from block editor to classic and edit the URL that way.

    Hi @cjhlambert URL edit should work with the Block Editor as well.

    Can you please share some screenshots that how actually you are updating the permalink with the Block Editor?

    I would love to help and fix the issue (If there is any).

    Thanks and Regards,
    Sami
