    Good morning all,

    I am having some issues with the YOAST SEO widget and keep encountering this same problem even after 40 revisions of the text I have created to fix the problem.

    Readibility: Needs improvement.

    1. Consecutive sentences: The text contains 4 instances where 3 or more consecutive sentences start with the same word. Try to mix things up!

    I can’t find any instances on the web-page I am writing right now which makes this error stay so persistently.

    Please help! I don’t know what to do anymore! 🙁

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    I found the developer’s forum after I posted the post because I was not sure where it should go.

    If you can help with my issue however please do so, thanks.

    We are looking forward to hearing from you.

    @lincoban Thanks for providing the screenshot. If you click on the text highlight function for the warning, does it indicate which part of the text the analysis is referring to?

    Hi, thank you for your reply.

    No, it doesn’t indicate which part of the text it refers to, which is even more frustrating because I can’t fix it.

    I have tried to manually adjust it and the text is just fine as it is according to the guidelines provided but the error still persists.

    I tested the source code of the content of the provided page and found that the 4 icons with text are created with repetitive paragraphs which appear to provide different layouts for different screen sizes.

    Therefore, this is a false positive cause by the method used to create this section. The message can be ignored for now.

    Please report this issue to the plugin or theme developer that allows you to create this section style to determine if there’s a way to prevent the section from repeating the same content multiple times.
