Yoast SEO

Aunque es un plugin decente y esta en millones de sitios web no considero que sea lo que la comunidad de Wordpress merece para gestionar el SEO.

Algunas funciones básicas están bloqueadas y disponibles solo para la versión premium, como las redirecciones.

Y las funciones de IA son poco útiles para la mayoría de personas.

Recent updated stopped our news filters working by re-writing the query strings. No idea how or why. User for 10 years. Now in the bin.

Some times lags, some codes issue after installing , otherwise ok

They're free to do whatever they want; it's their product.
However, they're not clear and honest; they confuse us with their support responses.
They're updating so you'll buy their premium version. Besides, they don't like negative reviews; they only like you to praise them.
Unfortunately, we can't praise you.

After using Yoast to do SEO modifications on my website the template editor in the backend no longer works. Pages are missing from the edit list and were replaced with tags, categories, and posts.
DO NOT USE Yoast withOxygen Builder. It breaks everything.

This would be great if it worked, however it constantly provides false positives. For example, it's always claiming 3 consecutive sentences start with the same word. This is rarely, if ever, actually the case, I've even used AI to attempt to find the offenders. Since they don't exist it's impossible to fix the error.

This is all made worse by the fact that the highlighting feature that is supposed to show where it *thinks* the error is is completely non functional.

Lots of problems since the last updates..

Today I discovered surprisingly that Yoast adds this code to every headline or paragraph in Classic Editor:

class=“ai-optimize”

Mind you, even if the text is not optimized with AI at all or only in some cases!!!
That has frightening consequences for Seo !!

You have to deactivate Yoast AI option completly to be safe for Google.

Obviously the support is not active and they are not longer testing the updates.

I've been a paying customer for many years (4x), but now it's time for something new.

Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: array_map(): Argument #2 ($array) must be of type array, null given in wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/inc/class-addon-manager.php:820


Please fix the code
From :

protected function map_site_information( $site_information ) {
		return (object) [
			'url'           => $site_information->url,
			'subscriptions' => array_map( [ $this, 'map_subscription' ], $site_information->subscriptions ),
		];
	}

To:

protected function map_site_information( $site_information ) {

   return (object) [
	'url'           => $site_information->url,
	'subscriptions' => array_map([ $this, 'map_subscription' ],
  is_array( $site_information->subscriptions ) ?  $site_information->subscriptions : []),];

}

Version 25.2 After updating, the social media appearance function stopped working. I spoke to support and they did not solve the problem. I have been using Yoast for over 5 years and am disappointed with the support provided. The function is inactive due to an error in the last update.

At one point, I found out that all the plug-in settings had gone awry on their own: the name of the pages and entries had changed; tags, categories, labels, and headings were marked for indexing, and as a result, all the "garbage" got into the search, and the site "sank" in the search results!
