 * Hi Author,
 * Good day! thank you for the great plugin. It appears that there is a bug when
   drafting the post. Below is the scenario.
 * 1. Create a new Post (In our case new Custom Post).
    2. Save it as a draft. 3.
   On the SEO Yoast Plugin, in the section Keyword tab > Edit snippet edit the fields,
   for example, edit only meta description then save as draft. 4. Now the permalink
   is doubled for example. “www.domain.com/events/halloween” become “www.domain.
   com/events/eventshalloween” you will notice that the “events” is created again
   besides “halloween”.
 * This is only happening on draft, I think when the post is Live this bug is not
   occurring I hope you can help us.
 * Thank you in advance.
 * Note: my plugins are up to date.

 * [@tdluiamisola](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tdluiamisola/) Thanks for
   the heads up. I have checked and found that when you update the description in
   Yoast SEO then it automatically updates the slug of the post. If your permalink
   structure contains “%postname%” then it would be duplicated.
 * I have resolved this issue. Please check the latest version and provide your 
   valuable feedback.
 * Thanks,
    Sami

 * Hi Sami,
 * I believe it solved the issue, but now Yoast slug field is gone (the permalink
   is not added/autofill) and yes the permalink structure contains %postname%.
 * Causes the Snippet Preview’s slug only the domain not the full permalink of the
   posts.
 * Thank you.

   that’s only for the view. It doesn’t harm your SEO.

 * Hi [@sasiddiqui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sasiddiqui/),
 * Thank you for your reply, I honestly thought that it is the case, but when the
   client/admin see it they panic, is there any way we can make it functional as
   before? the interaction between the two plugins?
 * Thank you for your continues support.

 * Have a good day.

 * Hi [@sasiddiqui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sasiddiqui/),
 * Hi just check the latest version, and it is working! however, I found out that
   there is still a bug not 100% sure but just an observation.
 * When I created a new post, save as draft, fill-up some usual stuff like content,
   yoast, excerpt etc. and hit publish the preview draft permalink is changed for
   example. [http://domain.com/this-is-a-new-thought-leadership-post](http://domain.com/this-is-a-new-thought-leadership-post)
   is changed to [http://domain.com/new-thought-leadership-post](http://domain.com/new-thought-leadership-post)
   after published.
 * Thank you!
