Title and description duplicated

    I noticed that in the admin, the title and description of the first post in the list get duplicated without showing the actual (overridden) title/description for that page.

    Home is set with page order -5, to show as first in the list. If I set it to 0, page “6 domeinen” is first so then that title/description is used everywhere.

    See screenshot: https://pasteboard.co/7ktUzsJ0hmRM.png. Screenshot is made with a default WP theme and all plugins deactivated.

    Hi @beee,

    Thanks for using the Yoast SEO plugin. From the screenshot shared with us, it looks like you’re viewing this on a staging site’s (were the environment is not set as production) where SEO Data Optimization is disabled. Since indexables aren’t created when the environment is set as staging or development, the overview page displays the SEO title and description of the first post or page showing on the overview list by default. However, if you check the source code of each page within it, you’ll see that the correct SEO title and description you’ve set are being applied to their respective pages. We also have a bug report related to this here.

    If you are seeing it on the live site were the environment is not set or set as production, please follow the below steps:

    1. Install & activate the Yoast Test Helper plugin
    2. Go to WordPress dashboard > Tools > Yoast Test
    3. Locate the Yoast SEO section and click on the ‘Reset indexables tables & migrations‘, ‘Reset Prominent words calculation‘, and ‘Reset Internal link counter‘ buttons. After each click, the page will reload to confirm that the specific reset was successful.
    4. Go to Yoast SEO > Tools, and under SEO data, click the “Start SEO data optimization” button to allow Yoast to rescan your content.

    Do let us know how it goes.

    You are correct, this is a screenshot from a development site. I did notice the correct meta info being outputted in the source on the front-end.

    I was not aware of this specific for development/staging environments.
