@trmkr If you aren’t seeing your robots.txt as having been updated, it may be due to the file being cached.
If you clear your cache (server, plugin/theme, browser, or CDN such as Cloudflare) does this resolve the issue? If you are not sure how to clear your server cache you should speak with your host provider.
We have information on how to clear your browser cache at the following link: https://yoast.com/help/how-to-clear-my-browsers-cache/.
@websols Thanks for your reply and please let us know if there is anything else we can assist with in this matter. We’re going ahead and marking this as resolved, but you’re always welcome to re-open the topic. Please read this post before opening a new request.
@tma2020 Often, we see problems occur in combination with another plugin or theme. The fastest way to rule out any conflict is to deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme like Twenty Twenty.
Due to this, we’d like you to please perform a conflict check. This will help us narrow down the exact cause and determine what the next steps are while saving you time.
Please test this on your development or staging site, if you have one. If not, we recommend using the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin. This plugin has a troubleshooting mode, which does not affect normal visitors to your site.
If you’re unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we’d like to point you to a step-by-step guide that will walk you through the process: How to check for plugin conflicts.
@tararais Thanks for suggesting a new feature for our plugin! We’re actively using the bug tracking on our GitHub repository so your best next step would be to create a new feature request for our developers at https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/new. You can create a new issue to submit your feature request. You will need an account to create one.

In reply to: [Yoast SEO - Advanced SEO with real-time guidance and built-in AI] YOAST SE0@saleh86 I’m sorry you’ve been unable to access the Yoast SEO settings, causing you not to maximize the plugin. We don’t expect this to be the case since you have the latest version of the plugin.

@aliyeyilmaz If you are seeing unexpected behavior or appearance for one of your site’s social previews when sharing it on social media, this can be caused by the social media site caching old metadata for that page. This is why you may not immediately see the new values you set up for the page reflected in the page’s preview when you share it (image, title, description, etc).
This guide includes more information on this and explains in detail how to resolve this: https://yoast.com/help/linkedin-sharing-not-working/
@rubaiyatbintaj This posts appears to be a duplicate of your other post here, so we are going ahead and marking this one as resolved to avoid any confusion or duplicate replies.
@rubaiyatbintaj We’re sorry but there is not currently a way to add a focus keyphrase in bulk as you are describing. Previously we have had similar feature requests to add the other options to the bulk editor, including the focus keyphrase, but as of yet these have not been implemented.
However, if you want to submit a feature request for this we’re actively using the bug tracking on our GitHub repository so if you wish to, you can create a new feature request for our developers at https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/new. You will need an account to create the new issue to submit a feature request.
@pawelszroeder Regarding your concern, the plugin does not contain a feature to set a .pdf on your site to
noindex. The settings for media that you are referring to is in reference to the attachment pages that WordPress creates when you upload a media file.If you need to set .pdf files to
noindexon your site, we would recommend exploring using the X-Robots tag to accomplish this. For example, I’ve used the following code in my own .htaccess file to do this:<FilesMatch "\.pdf$"> header set x-robots-tag: noindex </FilesMatch>As .htaccess is a very sensitive file and any errors can result in breaking a site, we would recommend consulting with your hosting provider on the best way to implement this if you aren’t comfortable working with .htaccess, or alternately testing on a staging site so as not to run the risk of breaking a live site.
You can also find more information on using the X-Robots tag here: https://yoast.com/x-robots-tag-play/
@denisflorin197 We’re sorry but we aren’t able to provide this level of support in the forums. These forums are dedicated to offering support for the plugin, but this unfortunately doesn’t include development support so we aren’t able to offer support on custom code (needed to change core features of our plugin).
Since we don’t want to take the risk that we break your website by suggesting incorrect or incomplete code, we cannot advise you on how to make such changes. Maybe someone watching these forums can assist you further, but if your topic is inactive, we’ll mark it as resolved to keep the overview.
Thank you for your understanding.
@denisflorin197 No, the
wpseo_sitemap_entries_per_pagefilter applies the limit of the number of entries to all sitemaps contained in the sitemap_index.xml.@helenppc We’re sorry to hear you are experiencing this issue on your site.
Regarding your issue, can you please confirm you are using the most recent version of Yoast SEO, version 20.0? You can learn more about updating here: How can I update my free plugin?
Also, can you confirm you are using WordPress 6.1.1? You can check by clicking on the W in the top left and selecting About. If you need to update, please check with your host provider. Please know that if you are using an older version of WordPress Core you may experience unexpected behavior with Yoast. This guide explains more: Why we don’t support old WordPress versions.
If you update to the most current version of WordPress and Yoast SEO, does this resolve the issue?
If you have already confirmed that both Yoast SEO and WordPress are up to date and the issue is still occurring, we would next recommend performing a conflict check to determine whether another plugin or theme is interfering with the Yoast plugin.
The fastest way to do this is to deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme like TwentyTwentyOne.
Test this on your development or staging site, if you have one. If not, we recommend using the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin. This plugin allows you to run a conflict check without affecting normal visitors to your site.
