ETA on v 3 (SEO/Yoast conflict)

Anonymous

Excellent plugin in many ways. However as mentioned in previews threads, the plugin messes up YOAST meta-data and displays the first search result as page title, canonical URL, breadcrumbs etc. I’m using the Search and Filter plugin (or that was the plan) on a page that has big SEO relevance for the site – so until this has been fixed – I’m not able to use the plugin. Which leads me to the question – do you have an ETA on v3 of the Search And Filter plugin – which I understand should solve the YOAST problem?

Hi Chheg

I’m hoping October at this rate.

You are correct with the yoast issue, when using the display method “archive”. This shouldn’t be an issue if you use any other display methods such as “post type archive” or “shortcode”.

In order to control your SEO, I would recommend to use the shortcode method on a page, so you can control the SEO of the page, and then customise the results following these instructions.

It will require some knowledge of PHP and (copying) WP templates, to get your results looking like your archive, but its entirely possible.

We will be retiring archive display method in v3, in favor of a system more like WP Blog archive, or WooCommerce shop page, whereby you create a page which is assigned as an archive type page – again, allowing full control of SEO.

I hope that helps.

Thanks

Hi Ross,
thank you for fast reply. I have changed the display results method, and it seems to be working.
