[Plugin: WordPress SEO by Yoast] Yoast Causes Duplications In Subpages

no one?

I’m having exactly the same problem (see here or here), googling about it shows a lot of unhappy people (and not only because of this issue) but no fix. It seems the plugin it’s a bit buggy..

I m having also some issues with duplicate stuff ( tags, description ) but no ones answering to my question..it seems i m not alone with this problem

I’m having a similar problem since the latest update of this plugin. The body content of every page of my site is duplicated with this plugin enabled. Header, navbar, body content, body content again, then footer. One after the other. Problem gone with plugin disabled. I’ve disabled the plugin for now, but here’s my site: https://www.bouldereditors.org/. I’m using the WP Jumpstart theme.

I found the source of the issue in my case, but this probably won’t apply to anyone that’s not using the WP Jumpstart theme. I had the following in my child theme functions.php file:

function show_page_content() {
the_content();
}
add_action( 'themeblvd_content_top', 'show_page_content' );

I have no idea how or why that got there, but removing it fixed the problem.

@computacion – the page number only shows up on follow on pages, not on the first page. As you can see here, it does that correctly. Suppose that’s one problem solved.

@ahsun – if you would still be having this problem, please give a url where the problem is visible, the plugin version number and if you’re using a plugin to create pagination and if so, which.

Solved it by modifying the header code myself..

Yoast’s plugin wouldn’t do it, no matter if you tell it to in the plugin settings, it just doesn’t work.

Here’s an example code for generating paginated titles:

<title><?php wp_title('?', true, 'right'); ?> <?php bloginfo('name'); ?>
<?php if ( is_home() ) {echo (' - YOUR TAGLINE HERE');}
?>
<?php if ( $paged < 2 ) {
} else {
echo (' page ');
echo ($paged);
} ?>
</title>

Hope it helps.

@computacion, that’s actually not as helpful as you may think. More than anything it gives me the impression that, as you are obviously adept at working with template files, the template you were using was not suitable for working with the WP SEO plugin.
Have a look at the FAQ, and try with a template which complies with the (official WP!) guidelines for the title tag.

@jrf, when the theme was compliant the pages wouldn’t get numbered either.

The plugin was “working”, since all the titles were changed by it, but no luck with page numbers (even if the parameters were there), so, that’s one possible solution that may serve others with the same problem.
