Not sure why this ticket is down as resolved?

Just to add to this, there’s definitely something really odd going on. If I update the default meta desc (in the Content Types tab in the yoast admin screen) and then enter this exact same meta desc for a specific page, the output is blank.

e.g. If my meta desc was ‘Example meta desc.’ as my default for posts and I try to enter that exact same meta desc for a specific post, the meta will show as blank. If I remove the full stop so it now says ‘Example meta desc’, the meta will show with that text. It seems that defaults just don’t work at the moment for get_post_meta() ??

I have also noticed this, I reckon it is almost definitely a bug.

get_post_meta( $id, '_yoast_wpseo_title', true );

always returns blank if it only contains snippet variables (which is the default for all fields). The only way to get this to return a value is to remove the snippet variables and add some custom text. This makes using Yoast for Headless CMS (which is fast becoming a popular choice for people) almost impossible.

Unless of course I am missing something?

Thanks SysFailure for the free domain tip, I was literally just about to buy one to test the plugin.

Quick question, do you know where the latest and best guide to setting all this up is? The newest I could find is from a few months ago, but seems to conflict with the guide on the actual plugin page.

https://fronterahouse.com/blog/ultimate-wordpress-multisite-domain-mapping-tutorial/

I am using subfolder method instead of subdomain

e.g. https://www.testurl.com/subsite1
https://www.testurl.com/subsite2

I am having the same problem, the blacklist thing doesn’t seem to do anything

Massive thanks for this Ben, I am amazed the plugin author hasn’t included this in an update yet.

I have managed to stop all the warnings except for:

Notice: Undefined variable: where in /Users/Quirksmode/#Files/Work/www/quirksmode.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/search-everything/search-everything.php on line 371

do you know how to make this go away?

thanks,

Dave

Hi,

did you ever solve this problem? I have been trying to achieve this for years now and eventually just gave up. I am now working on phase 2 of my site and yet again the need to loop through pages has occurred.

I basically feature my work on my website and like to have 1 page per piece of work. The problem with just having them as posts is the navigation falls apart when you try to view the selected piece of work. The way around this was to create a page with the same name and use some code to pull in post. This is a hack and doubles the work to create both page and post, but I have use posts because otherwise I can create snippets on my homepage that link to the different pages.

Sorry if this is confusing, but basically my ideal solution would be to create pages for every bit of work and be able to loop through the content of those pages (main text, custom fields etc.) to use elsewhere on the website, it seems crazy you cant as I think it’s important to maintain an accurate page flow and structure which you just wont get with posts.

Anyone able to help?
