Can I use your Schema blocks in the Classic Editor?

In short; no.

The longer answer: The new block editor offers unique opportunities for users, theme- and plugin developers. One of the biggest advantages of the block editor over the classic editor we see at Yoast is that it allows us to properly implement Schema.

That』s why Yoast SEO adds HowTo and FAQ blocks to your editing experience. These custom blocks are using the full potential the block editor offers when it comes to implementing Schema microdata.

The old Classic Editor doesn』t have this block-based structure and thus doesn』t allow the easy implementation of Schema. That』s why Yoast』s custom blocks are not available for the Classic Editor.

Why is the plugin in English when my site uses another language?

Yoast SEO automatically downloads translation files based on the language set for your WordPress installation for all languages other than the default English (US).

In some cases, you may want to manually force a fresh download of the translation files, please remove the current translation files and run the WordPress update tool to download the current translation files again.

How to manually download Yoast SEO translation files

To remove the current translation files, you must have:

Your FTP or SFTP login informationIf you do not have this information, please contact your host provider and obtain your host (or IP address), Username, Password, and Port number.An FTP or SFTP programWe use and recommend FileZilla but any FTP or SFTP program should work, including file managers provided by most web hosts.

Check your site language and change if necessary. Connect to your site using FTP or SFTP program. Browse to /wp-content/languages/plugins. This path will be located under your WordPress installation path. If you are unsure where WordPress is installed, please contact your web host for assistance.

Locations archive page shows recent posts, not locations

If your /locations/ page doesn』t show your locations but instead shows your recent posts, your themes archive.php probably queries directly for the 「post」 post type instead of checking for which post type it should query. You can either fix this in the theme, or you could create a specific template file for your locations page.

Why doesn』t the Video SEO plugin index all my videos?

The Cause

Especially on websites with a large number of videos, the plugin can have problems finding all the videos, due to (a shortage of) memory.

The Solution

You should try going to SEO-Video and then re-indexing a number of times. You may need to scroll down to find this feature. However, be sure to leave the 『Force Re-Index』 box unchecked. Once the number in the sitemap is static, it has found all the videos.

Why are my new videos on the bottom of my second sitemap?

The Cause

These videos are on the bottom of your second sitemap because that way only the last video sitemap changes and Google only needs to re-fetch that one instead of re-fetching all the video sitemaps all the time.

The Solution

Do nothing. The last update time is expected to tell Google what』s new.

The Classic Editor

Marks are available in the default Visual editor if you are using the Classic Editor plugin. If you are using the text or HTML editor, please switch to the Visual editor. You may need to update the content or refresh the page to activate the marks.

The text or HTML editor looks like this:

Switch to the visual editor which looks like this:

Gutenberg

In same cases, you may see a block that appears as the classic editor as shown in the image below

You will need to convert this block to a Gutenberg Block by clicking on the three vertical dots to the right and then selecting Convert. As shown in the image below. When you do that, the block will change to Gutenberg text blocks. Yoast is then expected to highlight these.

Pagebuilders

Please note that some features, like the readability markers, may be disabled when using page builders.
