Hi @koolkatdesign,
Google can still index URLs blocked by robots.txt if they are linked to from other pages which Google can crawl.
If it is a single URL, then you can safely ignore it. If you are getting this warning for multiple URLs, then blocking them through robots.txt might not be the best solution. Instead, you might have to noindex them using the X-Robots-Tag.
Deleted, as @mazedulislamkhan has already answered.
Hey @haendler55,
How exactly are you checking that Google is only showing the page title? We have inspected your URL on Google (i.e. https://i.imgur.com/zSX1r84.png) and it matches the title and meta description tags generated by Yoast SEO.
Hi @testsystem,
We are not aware of any security issues or risks with the current version of Yoast SEO. If there were any, we’d fix them as soon as possible.
Hi @tomberwolf,
The attachment sitemap should contain URLs for pages corresponding to each media file on your website, no matter if the images are being used or not.
The images in the post/page sitemap are indeed only the ones which can be found on those posts, but this is the expected behavior.
Hey @toto1988,
If you want to use an older version of Yoast SEO, you can either download it here (scroll all the way down to select an older version) or use a plugin such as WP Rollback.
Before switching back to an older version, please check if increasing the maximum memory limit fixes this issue. We ask as we are not aware of any bugs between Yoast SEO 7.8 that would break the editor of WPBakery Page Builder, the low memory limit is a common reason for such issues.
We have removed the feature to noindex subpages of archives in Yoast SEO 6.3, you can read more about this here.
These pages should not have identical content, as they should each show different posts of your website. The only problem regarding these pages it having duplicate titles, which can be solved by adding the %%page%% variable in the title template. To do so, please refer to this guide.
Hi Akash,
It is possible to change the number of entries per sitemap using a snippet such as this one. You can change 1000 to your desired value.
If you are not familiar with editing the functions.php file, you can use a plugin to add code snippets.
@arman_gts Thank you for the kind words! 🙂 You are awesome too!
@lordsnake we’ve inspected your URL and can confirm that is indexable. It is possible that Ryte considers the homepage to be https://michaels.me.uk (without a trailing slash), which has a rel canonical to https://michaels.me.uk/ (with the trailing slash).
The canonical tag means that the version without the trailing slash will not get indexed (because the version with the trailing slash will get indexed), which would explain why you are getting this warning.
It is safe to ignore the warning, as your homepage is getting indexed correctly (with the trailing slash).
Hi @scumpy,
Unfortunately, there is no exact number of characters that would fit all scenarios. There can be only one meta description, but Google does not set any actual limit on how long the snippets shown in the search results are. Here’s an example from today: https://i.imgur.com/TQK0z0Z.png
That being said, there is no exact formula, as the meta description length can now be different for each URL. It might be best to make sure the most meaningful information is in the first ~120 characters, so it will always get displayed, no matter the device. However, it is also possible that Google will completely ignore your meta description and replace it with a snippet from that page. We recommend checking out this guide.
Hey @mattykatel,
We’ve inspected your URL and can confirm that the structured data for breadcrumbs is being added correctly for the page which you have sent us.
Hi Sanjay,
These are media attachment pages, which WordPress creates by default for each of your image. You can automatically redirect these pages to the actual image files, so that Google won’t crawl these pages anymore.
To do so, go to SEO → Search Appearance → Media and select Yes when asked if you want to redirect these pages.
Hi @rahulroy79,
If we’d show a notification when deleting multiple URLs at a time, then it wouldn’t be possible anymore to create individual redirects for each page.
When a page gets deleted, a 301 redirect should be created to a new page where the content has been moved. It is unlikely that the content of 100 pages has all been moved to a single page, so that each of the old URLs would redirect to a single page.
