Yoast SEO Changes Page Title to False

    The Yoast SEO plugin replaces the title with the word “false”. It happens with the one page in question, not all pages. There may be more pages that it is happening with as well.

    I can replicate it consistently by removing the plugin and seeing the title come back as it should. Re-enable the plugin and the title is back to false.

  • Experienced the same with recurring events of “The Modern Events Calendar Lite” plug-in. Not with any other events, only recurring.

    I am also experiencing this issue.

    For me, it happens whenever I add a new field to one of my ACF flexible content fields.

    When I go back to my page, fill in the new field and save the page, the problem everyone describing then occurs.

    Therefore, it is definitely related to either ACF, or when any new meta field is added to a page. It would appear it somehow knocks the Yoast meta fields out a notch.

    I hope this helps the Yoast team figure out this problem.

    Thanks James,
    it’s been a few months since I had the problem but there’s a high chance I was also using ACF flexible content fields. I use them quite often.

    A guess: I wonder if it is a problem of running out of query vars? I’ve seen flexible content and repeater fields simply not save all of the data entered when the max_query_vars limit is too low. I imagine both ACF and Yoast would be using them to submit data.

    I was able to resolve this on my site. Yoast lets you set the Title and Description for each social media site individually, and there were garbage values given for Facebook (which is also what most search engines grab data from).

    I went to the page in question > Yoast SEO > Social tab > Facebook title/description. Cleared those. Then it reverted to my defaults.

    Reporting that I am seeing this again, too. I have noticed it on several sites over the years. I also have wondered if it’s related to having a number of ACF fields on the page.

    It seems that this problem has simply overgrown developers for many, many years.

    I must admit that it looks like a joke with the biggest SEO add-on that exists for WordPress. Plus it’s not free.

    Hello – Yoast! Wake up!
