An absolute nightmare.

    This is a FREE but DANGEROUS plugin! I would not recommend to use it, as it might unintenionally stop google indexing your website.

    Yoast came with wordpress install. After I got my website up and running, uploaded the sitemap to google, it was waiting for months for google to index my site.

    I got 32 errors and 70 noindex. That’s strange I thought, I have everything set to be indexed on yoast. So I asked google to crawl my site again. And waited. But still the results were the same.

    Looking in the source code, it shows that the Yoast plugin, somehow puts a noindex in regions and listings of my page.

    If I switch yoast off, the noindex disapears. I did contact support and they asked me to clone the site, switch off all plugins and change the theme. But still Yoast keeps putting a noindex in. Have not heared back from them yet.

    Yoast is heavily advertising as being the best SEO plugin on wordpress. But I would not touch it. I switched it off and will deinstall it.

    Hi @ingevdb,

    Thanks for your review.

    We’re sorry to hear you were experiencing problems with Yoast SEO. We can imagine how concerning it’s when a noindex robots meta tag is output to some pages on your website.

    We see that you opened a topic in the plugin forum. Per our investigations, we think there’s a conflict between Yoast SEO and the plugin/theme/code you’re using to create the region and listing custom taxonomy and post type as we haven’t heard from others experiencing similar problems. Identifying the cause of the problem would require further investigation which may not be feasible through the plugin forums, for example, if you’re using custom code and there’s no easy way for us to reproduce the problem on our end.

    That said, feel free to follow up with our support team for further troubleshooting steps.

    Thanks!
