QuoteHi, does Simple Press work with Yoast SEO Plugin? I was researching options and came across this post which has me concerned:
http://dottech.org/101602/prob.....cal-guide/
Looks like there is a major issue with how the two plugins interact? Is this true? Recently someone posted this comment below.
Please clarify if Simple Press works fine with Yoast SEO Plugin. Many thanks. I like what I see in your forum and just want to make sure this is the right solution for me.
Warm Regards,
Robert
RECENT COMMENT FOUND ONLINE WHICH IS A "SOLUTION" TO FIX SIMPLE PRESS/YOAST SEO:
For anyone this might help. Without adding the code above, The main forum title is showing in the title as expected, but we need the forum section or forum post title to show for the title instead so we don’t have over a hundred duplicate titles from the forum. This was the simple solution:
to the theme’s functions.php
function forumtitle() {
$urlparts = explode(“/”,$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);
$title=ucwords(str_replace(“-“,” “,$urlparts[count($urlparts)-2]));
if ($title == ‘Forum’) { $title = ‘**** *** **** *****'; }
return $title;
}
In the header.php (id of course being the forum’s main page id #)
I’m now going to use that same if statement to add the title to the end of the description tag so those aren’t duplicate anymore also.
If this is helpful to anyone, be sure to replace the asterisks in the line in the function to whatever you want your forum landing page title to be. Our page slug is forum, so we wanted the inital forum title on that landing page.

yes, the two plugins work together... a few filters need to be used.. but work fine... use them together on several sites.. detail in our support forum...
not sure what that stuff you posted is trying to do...

The website is talking about the main forum title in Simple Press is duplicated on every forum post, which causes duplicates and is harmful to SEO. The forum posts should pull from it's own title, not just repeat the main forum's title as the post title. The thread here and comments explains it all:

Not sure what this all means but when I was googling yoast seo and forum solutions it came up, which had me concerned that these two plugins may not work best together. Maybe this is something Yoast needs to fix on his end? Or maybe you can add it into Simple Press like you have for All In One SEO?
Thanks for your follow-up. Looking forward to trying the forum.
Warm Regards,

the issue with the title and yoast seo is just a priority issue on the filter... seems every seo plugin and wp theme wants to affect the title... we cannot do one title priority that fits all.. so a simple filter is needed to adjust it for yoast and it will work fine... all in one seo works fine with simple press too...

Oh ok thanks for the followup. Seems like a minor adjustment. I'm not too tech savvy but maybe the instructions on that post I linked to will help me. Or yoast or simple press can build something into the plugin on the next version to select what to show as the title, that would be handy. I'll play around with things and see what happens. Thanks, will be joining the forum as a paid member shortly once my site is up and I create the forum.

Still have a problem.

I have been using Genesis/SimplePress for a while now and all was fine.
I added WordPress SEO by Yoast and now SimplePress displays forum objects above the header as well as displaying the properly formatted page below the header.
When I uninstall Yoast is works again.
I have left it enable so you can see what is happening.
It seems these two plugins don't work together well for what seem to be some very simple reasons but i can't fins any information about how to fix it. what to disable and how.
Please help.
Thanks!
