I had the same problem as manulito and after trying every possible solution I could think of and googling for a couple of hours, I ended up settling for the same fix. Thanks for posting that.
This functionality in the plugin seems broken. It’s so strange that a huge popular plugin like Yoast SEO runs into problems with such a seemingly simple task. Anyway, back to work!
I’m having this same problem, maybe something to do with the alternate currencies? I’m using Costa Rican colon and I get the exact same problem as mtbiker4ever. Were you able to solve it?
Just wanted to point out that the third code example in the original post of this thread should read: __('Read the rest of this entry »', 'your_theme') and not __('Read the rest of this entry »'), 'your_theme'
Yes, this is buggy. Too bad, it would be really useful to have this.
Right now, it works for me in HTML mode, but if I try to switch back to Visual, it freezes. Won’t show text on the window at all, and then it won’t let me switch back to HTML.
