Tiled galleries warning

Hi,

We are not sure that warning is related to the tiled galleries. We say that as that warning is expected to appear when you have entered the focus keyword (rather than embedding a titled gallery). This guide explains more: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/warning-youve-used-this-focus-keyword-before/

If you remove the focus keyword from the post/page and select a different one, does the warning resolve?

Hey,

Thanks for the reply!

Yes, the problem is linked to the tiled galleries, because if I choose the default thumbnail grid, the problem is not there. As soon as I choose tiled galleries (jetpack galleries), the problem arises.

When I choose the gallery option “link to none”, the problem also resolves. So it seems to have to do with the link of the photos to the media file on wordpress cdn.

If I change the focus keyword, as you suggest, the problem is gone of course. But of course I do not want to change the focus keyword.

I get another warning/red bullet:

If I use the jetpack tiled galleries instead of the WordPres standard thumbnail grid, I also get the message that the keyword density is too large. See example:

The keyword density is 4.9%, which is more than the recommended maximum of 2.5%. The keyword was found 35 times.

It seems as if Yoast SEO counts the keywords in the titles and alt-text of the photos with these galleries. This does not happen when I use the WordPres standard thumbnail grid.

I have been using Yoast SEO for several years now and optimized all my articles. Now I want to use the jetpack tiled galleries in old articles (because they look nice), but now it get red bullets from Yoast, while first all bullets were green?
