@inzasirus Can you please make sure that you have date archives enabled?

You can do this by performing the following steps:

• In WordPress, go to Yoast SEO>Settings
• Click on the Advanced>Date Archives
• Toggle the ‘Enable date archives’ setting On
• Click on ‘Save Changes’

We also have more information on this in the following article: Yoast SEO settings: Date archives.

@daveh0 Unfortunately we aren’t able to answer development related questions as this is a support channel for using the plugin, not development. For development related queries we’d recommend GitHub: https://github.com/Yoast/

@fabiovito83 We understand if you don’t want to initially perform this on a live site. What you could do is first test on a staging site, and prior to performing it on the live site take a backup of the site so in the event of any problem you can easily restore the site.

We recommend creating regular backups of your site and database for your site’s health and safety. A backup is crucial before editing the database directly?and provides you with a safety net if something were to go wrong. Learn more about the benefits of regular backups.

@cjsheps Is the warning from SEMrush saying that a single page has multiple <title> tags being output, or that several pages have the same value for the <title>, and recommending you have unique ones for the pages in question?

Regarding settings in the Yoast SEO plugin, it only outputs a single <title> tag for a page. But if the warning is for multiple pages having the same value for the <title> tag, you can change this value for the page by navigating to the page’s edit screen and then entering a new value for the ‘SEO Title’ field in the Yoast meta box.

@databell96 We understand you are receiving an error of Missing field ‘mainEntity’?in Google Search Console, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Can you please let us know whether these pages are set to “ProfilePage”? If so, it’s currently in our product roadmap to add the “ProfilePage” schema properly into our product.

• New in structured data: discussion forum and profile page markup
• Expanding markup support for Organization details, including Logo structured data

In the meantime, we recommend not setting the pages as Profile Page in the schema tab of the Yoast SEO meta box. If it’s set as Profile Page, please change it temporarily to the default one so it won’t return the?Missing field ‘mainEntity’?error.

@hameedhashemi We have a comprehensive guide including documentation and instructions for implementing hreflang available here: hreflang: The ultimate guide.

@anjanavk Regarding your issue, we checked on this post and it is returning a 404 error for us. Can you please confirm whether the URL you provided is correct?

@cberzosabc We’ve identified several concerns in your message and responded to each below:

But this will no index only the page I indicated, right? Not all products of that brand.

This will noindex all pages for that taxonomy. If you only wish to noindex a single page/post/product, you should do so by performing the following steps:

• Go to the Edit screen for a page/post/product
• Scroll down to the Yoast Metabox
• Click on the ‘Advanced’ area
• For ‘Allow search engines to show this in search results?’ make sure this is set to ‘No’ (setting this value to Yes will set meta robots to ‘index’ and setting No would set meta robots to ‘noindex)

And another question, I want to no index a product: roof rack, because these are different for each car. So I don’t want the user to reach the product that is not valid for their car. I want the user to reach this page, which is a search engine for roof rack: https://negrillo.es/barras-techo-bacas-buscador/ Does it work just by no index said product?

Yes, you could accomplish this by individually setting each to noindex.

Another solution you may want to explore is instead of setting those pages to noindex is to change their canonical URL to that of the search page. We have more information and guidance on changing this here: https://yoast.com/help/canonical-urls-in-yoast-seo/

@lonozx Regarding your issue, if you are changing the permalink structure of your site to a structure of?/%postname%/, the permalink helper tool we offer can?generate a redirect that will handle all of the redirects necessary due to the permalink structure change.

The permalink helper tool can be found at the following link:?https://yoast.com/research/permalink-helper.php.

??We also have more information on using this tool and changing the permalink structure in the following article:?Why you should change your WordPress permalink structure.?We also have an article on the best practices for creating an optimized permalink structure here:?The perfect WordPress SEO permalink structure.

@l0gan0 We’re sorry to hear you are experiencing this issue on your site.

We understand that you aren’t able to modify/disable the theme or critical plugins on the live site, but would you be able to perform a conflict checking using the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin? It allows you to perform a conflict check without affecting the front end of the site. We have instructions on this available here.

Also, can you please confirm that the live site environment meets all of the plugin requirements?

@rochellemariah Thanks for your message.

You can disable Yoast SEO output for a specific page by adding some code to your theme’s functions.php file, and you can find documentation on this here: Disable Yoast SEO output for a specific page.

@moxie We’re sorry to hear you are experiencing this issue on your site.

Often, we see problems occur in combination with another plugin or theme. The fastest way to rule out any conflict is to?deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme?like?Twenty Twenty-Two.

Please test this on your development or staging site, if you have one. If not, we recommend using the?Health Check & Troubleshooting?plugin. This plugin has a troubleshooting mode, which does not affect normal visitors to your site.

If you’re unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we’d like to point you to a step-by-step guide that will walk you through the process:?How to check for plugin conflicts.

Can you please inform us of the results, so we can help you figure out what the problem is?

@chcw The SEO title can be found in the wp_postmeta table.

@irshad3284 We checked on the sitemap and no issues were detected when validated (see image here).

We would recommend to first try to resolve this by removing and resubmitting the sitemap. In order to make sure there are no cached sitemap data, we recommend the following:

1. Clear the cache from caching plugins, the server, a CDN like Cloudflare, or the browser? If you are not sure how to clear cache from a plugin, please contact the plugin author. If you’d like to clear cache from the server, please speak to your host provider. To clear the cache from a browser, use this guide: How to clear my browser’s cache?

2. Delete your sitemap in Google. Doing so will not hurt the SEO of the site. This guide explains more (scroll to the bottom): https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/183669?hl=en.

3. Submit the sitemap again. Be sure to submit only the sitemap_index.xml and nothing else. This guide explains more: Submit your sitemap to search engines.

4. Monitor the results to see if the issue is resolved. It can take some time before Google can report on the crawled URLs after you re-submit your sitemap, especially for large sites, as the Google Search Console reports are not real-time.

@oli89 We’re sorry to hear you are experiencing this issue on your site.

If the issue you are experiencing occurs with only the Yoast SEO plugin and theme active, it’s likely due to a conflict with the theme.

Often, we see problems occur in combination with another plugin or theme. The fastest way to rule out any conflict is to deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme like Twenty Twenty-Two.

Please test this on your development or staging site, if you have one. If not, we recommend using the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin. This plugin has a troubleshooting mode, which does not affect normal visitors to your site.
