Yoast SEO plugin compatability

[DJM]

Hi, I'm trying to use the Yoast SEO plugin with Lay theme, but the plugin doesn't recognise text on my project posts. I've tried adding another plugin which enables Yoast to read advanced custom fields but this hasn't helped.

Is there any solution to getting Yoast to read my text boxes? Any classes that the lay theme grid uses which I could try implementing into one of the plugins code?

Thanks
David

Hey David, as far as I know atm this is not possible. However, I'm writing it down and might work on it one day.

hey @arminunruh, hey @mariusjopen,
I know this is a really old topic, but I wonder if there are any news about the Yoast SEO plugin compatability?
For know it looks like the Laytheme still does not communicate with the Plugin, but it would
be super great if it would do so... :)

@FesT Hi!
I just installed Rank Math and without knowing anything (at least little) about SEO and its full possibilities I have to say that it seems to work.
Maybe that helps.
Best,

Dear @mariusjopen
still "Text length: The text contains 0 words. This is far below the recommended minimum of 300 words"

Dear @dingdong
Ok, thank you for writing. We will have a look also with Armin and hope to get back to you as soon as possible.
Thank you for using LayTheme!

uhm update to the latest version of lay theme

go to "lay options" or "plugins" and read the notification about yoast plugin compatibility
but i think thats unrelated

yoast cannot read the texts inside the gridder, so it might say "contains 0 words"
however, this is just not true, and just because yoast cannot read the texts inside the gridder, doesnt mean google can't. on your website, in the end, the text is just regular HTML so google does read your texts.

please don't take yoast seriously here in that regard
it just not compatible with the gridder in this ways
