Not reading acf field

@marypruter

I see you’re having trouble with Yoast SEO not reading your ACF field. I imagine this can be frustrating for you. Let me take look a closer look.

Since you’re adding your content through the Advanced Custom Fields plugin, in order for Yoast SEO to analyze these fields, you’ll need to install the ACF Content Analysis for Yoast SEO plugin. By using this plugin, you can use the SEO and readability analysis features of Yoast SEO to check your writing and SEO score, even if they live in a complex custom field.

Can you please install the specific plugin (if you haven’t already), and check if resolves the issue you are experiencing? Also please make sure that all the plugins (Yoast, ACF, or others), themes, and WordPress are up to date.

If not could you please provide a screenshot and elaborate further on any errors or warnings?

It is installed. But it doesn’t seem to be reading the ACF blocks. What do you want a screenshot off? I can show the SEO where it says no content and the ACF blocks that are filled with content. Or is there something else you need to see?

@marypruter Thanks for your reply.

Can you please confirm you are using the most recent release of Yoast SEO version 16.7, ACF Content Analysis version 3.0.1, and WordPress version 5.7.2?

If you need to update, please check with your host provider. Please know that if you are using an older version of WordPress Core you may experience unexpected behavior with Yoast. This guide explains more: https://yoast.com/why-we-dont-support-old-wordpress-versions/

If you update to the most current versions, does this resolve the issue?

If you have confirmed both WordPress, Yoast SEO, and all of your site’s other plugins and themes are up to date and the problem is still occurring, we would next recommend performing a conflict check. A plugin or theme conflict can sometimes cause functionality problems, errors, or unexpected behavior from the plugin. If you are unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we have a step by step guide on how to check for conflicts available here: How to check for plugin conflicts.

Test this on your development or staging site, if you have one. If not, we recommend using the?Health Check & Troubleshooting?plugin. This plugin allows you to run a conflict check?without affecting normal visitors to your site.

Also, in regards to checking for errors, we were asking if were receiving any visible errors within the WordPress page edit area. Also, we would recommend also checking for any JavaScript errors in your browser console and we have a guide on this here: https://yoast.com/help/how-to-find-javascript-errors-with-your-browsers-console/
