Yoast rewriting custom post type slugs when I save

  • I apologize in advance because this isn’t a regular hosting related request.

    I have 4 custom post types on this site

    Slides
    Clubs
    Job Postings
    Testimonials

    For some reason (not sure when this started) whenever I save a Club post type, it’s slug is updating to ‘justine’ or ‘justine-2’ (if justine is in use) which is the slug of one of our Testimonials.

    When I disable Yoast SEO the rewriting stops though, so it’s definitely something to do with Yoast. I’m running the newest version (was on 1.7 at the start) and it’s still happening.

    Also should specify that the site is hosted on WPEngine & the plugin used to make the custom post types is Custom Post Type UI

  • This also happens to me, started recently so I think its a recent update with yoast that caused it.

    Keeps choosing a random word from within my page and renaming the slug to it everytime I save. Only work around, is to change the slug back, and re-save again.

    Jassi, I dont suppose you found a fix yet?

    I’m also getting this issue.

    The plugin takes my most recent post title and renames the page (breadcrumb) with the post title. If I deactivate Yoast it goes back to how it should be.

    Only one page as well which is weird.

    Anyone know how I can fix this frustrating issue?

    Thank you in advance

    I am having a similar experience with the version 2.2.1. And interstingly, Yoast support doesn’t want to accept that something has gone amiss with their lastest version 2.2.1

    Yoast support writes in response to this issue, “Unfortunately, we think this is an issue specific to your site. Therefore we would like to get access to the WordPress admin of your website”

    I have no issue with providing these details. It’s so frustrating and I would like it to be sorted

    Tunit25 – Interesting that you have figured out that it seems to be taking the last post name created. I didn’t clock that one, but it does seem to be a possibility thinking back.

    After the latest yoast update, I quickly logged into my site and re-saved a page… which last week was, 100% of the time, renaming the permalink. But this time it didn’t do it.

    I only tested once so cant be certain. But has your issue been fixed too?

    They didnt mention it in the patch notes however.

    NEWS!

    Look what I just seen in the update notes of the latest Visual Composer patch:

    18.05.2015 – ver 4.5.2

    – Performance: Removed call to get taxonomies from vc_map and now it is called via ajax only when it is needed
    – Fixed: slug changing when Yoast SEO plugin activated

    Looks like thats the culprit – I haven’t tested this though.
