Yoast meta data on WooCommerce shop page where S&F is used

Anonymous

Hi,

I am using Search and Filter Pro plugin on my WooCommerce shop page to search and filter for products: https://laespontanea.wine/comprar-vino-natural/

I am using Yoast SEO plugin to edit the meta data title and description for this page.

There is a plugin conflict, when Search and Filter Pro is active on a specific page, Yoast detects that page as a “search” page and uses the meta title specified for search pages. It also adds a noindex tag as search pages are marked automatically as noindex by default by Yoast.

Have you encountered such similar issues before and what is the best way to solve it?

I was able to change the meta title using the solution provided in this thread: https://support.searchandfilter.com/forums/topic/page-meta-title-on-search-page/

Do you know how I could add a meta description?

Thanks
Michele

I can see that the body tag has the search classname attached, which is not normal. Is Yoast adding that? See here:

I don’t think so. I just deactivated Yoast completely and can still see that same tag. Also if I switch to a standard theme like Twenty Twenty, it’s still there.

Is this something that Search and Filter does?

It doesn’t add them, no (unless, maybe in the Advanced settings of the form you have set is_search to ON).

Yes, in the advanced settings set is_search is turned ON. This was how it was setup by our developer. I tried turning it off, but if I do so the Search and Filter form on our WooCommerce shop page doesn’t work as expected. If you perform a search, the page just reloads with all products – not showing you the actual results for your search…

But it does remove those classes, and does Yoast then behave? It sounds like the form is not correctly connected to the products.

Yes, if I turn it off then it removes those classes and Yoast behaves normally.

How can I fix it? How can I connect the form to the products correctly?

I have tried as far as I can, but it would appear that those two settings on the Advanced settings tab are needed for your theme, Uncode, to work with our form.

I do not think that there is any simple way to fix this from our plugin. As per the thread you referenced, I think you will need to use a similar Yoast function. This Google search may yield some ideas:
