@taisa1984 Changing the logo is a solution for Yoast SEO because they were using the old way of reading exif data! They said it in their GitHub issues! They’ve updated the plugin since, and this might not be an issue anymore. But it is possible to be an issue for other plugins! You can see what’s the path that it gives you in the PHP errors, they tell you which plugin is causing the errors. If not, you can disable each plugin and see if you still have the errors.

I wasn’t explaining you what a SVG is, I was explaining you what causes the error. And besides, there’s other people reading this, and it might be useful for them, even if it’s not for you! 🙂

@travelmexicosolo @dev678 OK, so I’ve dug through their GitHub repo and I found the following issue that relates to this problem: https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/16879

Apparently the problem is that the Yoast SEO plugin doesn’t support SVG images. If you go to SEO -> Search Appearance -> Knowledge Graph & Schema.org and you have set an image that is SVG as the logo, you get these errors in the front end. If you set the logo to a .png or .jpg, the errors will go away!

This is a problem with the plugin, not the hosting! The $attachment_meta parameter from the generate_from_attachment_meta() function is supposed to be an array, and it receives a boolean instead. It says what’s the problem in the error message!

They changed how image files metadata is handled in WordPress 5.7. I believe this has something to do with it: https://core.trac.ww.wp.xz.cn/ticket/52826

Please at least include an if statement to check if $attachment_meta is really an array before trying to use it!

/**
 * Retrieve data about an image from the database and use it to generate a Schema object.
 *
 * @param string $schema_id       The @id to use for the returned image.
 * @param array  $attachment_meta The attachment metadata.
 * @param string $caption         The caption string, if there is one.
 *
 * @return array Schema ImageObject array.
 */
public function generate_from_attachment_meta( $schema_id, $attachment_meta, $caption = '' ) {
	$data = $this->generate_object( $schema_id );

	$data['url']        = $attachment_meta['url'];
	$data['contentUrl'] = $data['url'];
	$data['width']      = $attachment_meta['width'];
	$data['height']     = $attachment_meta['height'];
	if ( ! empty( $caption ) ) {
		$data['caption'] = $this->html->smart_strip_tags( $caption );
	}

	return $data;
}

@johnny_n Indeed that was the case. I solved it by increasing the PHP server resources. I thought that WordPress has some limitations, but it doesn’t. It was the hosting server.

It seems to be some sort of bugs. I had my website in development and I had the option “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” ticked. When I decided to get my site indexed by Google, surprise, surprise, it told me that robots.txt was blocking the access to the site, even though I knew I unchecked the “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” option and I had the right robots.txt configuration. After that I clicked “Save Changes” several times, I’ve reset the configuration for XML Sitemaps and completely deleted robots.txt. It immediately worked afterwards.
