Awesome – that worked, thanks ??

I tried to override the ‘blog’ level title using this: https://mtekk.us/archives/guides/changing-the-home-breadcrumb-title/

But it also changed the title of the new home link I inserted, so I ended up with
Blog > Blog > Category > Post
instead of
Home > Blog > Category > Post

I tried altering the priority of the filters but it still got overridden?

it is treating it as the home URL

Well exactly – it isn’t the home url but it’s treating it that way. Which makes no semantic sense.

It is a bug if it doesn’t behave in a logical expected way. Breadcrumbs are relative to the homepage, not to a subfolder. Breadcrumbs are not unique to Yoast, they are a website navigation feature – if they ignore the rest of a websites structure then they are broken.

So you guys don’t have a workaround for this bug then either?

We take whatever URL is listed there and output it as the Home breadcrumb item.

Right, so it’s a bug then. That is, Yoast does not recognise when it’s being used in a subfolder so breadcrumbs don’t work correctly in this case. And there is no built-in option to cater for this either.

So you’re saying as a workaround to your bug it’s possible to use the wpseo_breadcrumb_links filter to get correct behaviour. OK. Can you provide an example of how to do that? I didn’t see anything in the examples linked above that was similar.

There is no ‘Home’ in WordPress – do you mean in Yoast? (Unless you’re referring to the historically poorly named ‘home_url’ function which returns the front end url of WordPress, not the home url of the site?)

WordPress is only being used under /blog (so WP address and site address are both /blog).

But the subfolder isn’t the home url. The homepage is the home url. So how can that be ‘as expected’..? It semantically makes no sense.

The rest of the site outside of WordPress has breadcrumbs that make sense and point to the real homepage etc as appropriate. The breadcrumbs for the subfolder (i.e. where WordPress is) should align with that, i.e.:-
Home (example.com) > Blog (example.com/blog/) > Category > Post Name

How do I get it to properly reflect the true structure of the site?

That’s my point – it doesn’t work correctly ??

So how do I get it to properly reflect the structure of the site?

Yes, it happened a few more times. But now getting this every day (Note: the files ARE uploading OK to S3):-

Starting upload to S3 Service …
Backup transferred to …
ERROR: S3 Service API: Access Denied
2. Trying to send backup file to S3 Service …
ERROR: S3 Service API: The specified upload does not exist. The upload ID may be invalid, or the upload may have been aborted or completed.
3. Trying to send backup file to S3 Service …

Sorry, but that didn’t really answer the question ??

I often work with clients who have this plugin, but don’t want the reports in WordPress so don’t see any benefit to connecting.

What tracking features do they gain in the lite version by connecting?

Sidenote to what you said earlier – don’t add the analytics code to your site header, because the plugin will do this anyway. You’ll end up with doubled up pageviews if you manually add it as well.

For info: happened 2 more times since.

We’re also seeing the same thing on multiple sites (no change to permalinks). If we hide the notification it just comes back again later.

I think it would also help to make the purpose of the ‘Enable challenge question’ clearer :-).

The help text says ‘The question shown to visitor when subscribing.’ – I thought that meant the challenge question would appear on the post comment form which I didn’t want so have been ignoring this option.

The challenge question actually appears only on the management page, which is great, because setting a good question here kills all the bot spam we’ve been getting ??

The code uses wp_get_recent_posts. But returned as an object, so the loop uses the_title(), get_the_excerpt() etc (without passing post ID) – all works fine.

If I switch out get_the_excerpt() for the_advanced_excerpt(), I just get the excerpt for the page and not the post object in the loop?

LATER: just tried switching out wp_get_recent_posts for WP_Query, and the_advanced_excerpt() now works as expected. Curious as to why it doesn’t work for wp_get_recent_posts though? ??

About 70MB. The upload itself completes within seconds, but the uploading window stays. If I click outside of it then it closes.
