Theme requires Yoast

  • Using latest WordPress and Yoast plugin. I have one theme that requires Yoast to be enabled, otherwise sections are blank. If you turn off all plugins, you get same result.

    I’ve searched for wpseo or yoast in the theme but do not find it. Are there other api calls I should look for to find where this dependency is?

    I’ve also noticed if I turn off BOTH Facebook open graph meta data and Twitter meta card data, it produces same blanking.

    the_content(); outputs nothing.

    Thanks in advance

  • Likely need to contact the theme author. Folks here generally can only comment or help with general issues for the plugin, not a theme specific issue unrelated to the plugin.

    Why not contact the theme author for support?

    The specific question is what API calls are there to the Yoast other than ones containing with: wpseo or yoast

    Probably need to look inside the plugin itself to see how it’s structured and what ‘functions’ are created by the plugin per normal WordPress coding practice. It’s very well commented and best way to find all the hooks and filters.

    Of course, if the theme author created their own functions which simply reference WP SEO hooks, you’d still need to contact the theme author unless it’s a pir8 theme.

    In any case, you might also check the github repo for more info on the plugin.

    Doubtful you will get any kind of ‘laundry list’ here for how the plugin is built, as there is no such support here for the free version of Yoast.

    Good luck!

    We figured out the problem. Here are the detail just in case this helps someone else..

    We forgot to include this line:
    <?php if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
    before:
    <?php the_content(); ?>

    Even without the line, Yoast intercedes and makes everything work!
