If you could let me know.

Thanks

OK the plot thickens.

That was good advise. I have checked this and the settings > general site (URL) does not have a trailing slash, but the permalink do as this is there default setting, so I thought I would add it! Of course when adding the trailing slash it doesn’t register and reverts back to the url without a trailing slash?

I then thought I would change this within the database table myself for wp_options. But here it already has the trailing slash, so this should as far as I understand be correct, even though WordPress is not showing the trailing slash within the CMS. I have also checked search console which has the trailing slash?

Just to note I have contact RYTE and they have said this is nothing to do with us. Which I understand as they are just running checks not actually implementing anything with regards to my SEO.

I have also decided to deactivate the connection in YOAST to RYTE and all of a sudden I’m back on page one of google?

Like I have said this was all running fine until an update a few weeks ago. I have also deleted all plugins and changed themes with no change. It definitely looks like a YOAST issue of sorts when connecting with RYTE but what I have no idea what!

Sorry I forgot to mention that when testing I have deactivated all plugins and binned all pages except the home page, as well as changing themes.

None of this resolved the issue?

OK I have fixed the issue regarding the error message there was some code in my functions.php that was not needed from left from another site.

The SEO issue where my site home page can not be indexed is a strange one. I have now identified the issue with RYTE. It has found that the home page is canonicalized. After some research I have found that if you have duplicate content on your site you can change the canonical url to source another page and stop confusion when your site is being crawled.

This is fine, as I don’t need this, so all canonical settings in YOAST are left to default so its sources its own page. The issue is that for some reason YOAST and RYTE are showing the home page to be not indexable because the canonical tag is pointing to another url. Strangely I’ve checked the canonical tag in the source code it is pointing to the home page, just as it is set in the YOAST settings for each page?

This is definitely a YOAST issue, why would my page not be indexable and flagged as directed to an new canonical url when the settings are correct?

Please note that everything was ok until a YOAST update about three weeks ago?

Could you please offer some assistance.

Thanks for the reply the site is working with google mobile tester, so not sure whats going on?
I will try some more debugging with Ryte and see if I can come wit an answer. If not I will request more advise.

Could you please advise on why I am getting the error on every page.
I have deactivated every plugin and the message only disappears when Yoast is deactivated, so Yoast is the issue after an update a month or so ago.
I have also changed themes and it would seem that there is some conflict with my child theme, but not sure why this would occur?
The message is: Warning : array_map(): Argument #2 should be an array in /home/”MYSERVER”/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/admin/class-primary-term-admin.php

I can’t see why or where a conflict would come from for this message to appear in my theme?

Hi

I have now used RYTE to get the error for the failed indelibility on my home page. RYTE has shown that there is a Canonicalized issue with the home page. I have checked this in the YOAST settings for the home page and this blank (so set to the default url for that page) which is correct, the output is the correct url in the Canonical meta data so everything should be working.

All the settings seem to be correct but YOAST is causing the two issues I have mentioned.

I really like YOOAST for my SEO could you please advise I don’t really want top move to another SEO plugin.

Hi

Thanks for the reply

I have made the update and viewed the page you have supplied several times and followed the advise, still no joy?

I am now working on a staging environment and changing all data in the robots.txt file as well as deactivating all plugins to see if there is a conflict. I still can’t get the message to go away on every page and most importantly the indexed error message is showing constantly. To make it worse it seems my home page has now been removed from google?

Can you please advise as to why this is happening, When testing if googlebots are blocked from crawling my site on search console everything seems to be allowed. This is a big issue for me as it seem your plugin is causing issues and stoping my home page from being indexed.
