I have talked to them as well and have posted other threads on this subject on here.

If Kreisi isn’t aware of the long term outcry around this then he clearly isn’t paying attention.

Ed is 100% correct. I have had the theme for over a year without any of my gallery images indexing.

I tried your tips and you can keep going around the bush, but it is a huge flaw in the theme.

Maybe it is how Enfold hooks to Yoast or this or that, but enfold is marketed as a drag and drop theme.

Simple to us and user friendly.

For the most part Enfold is, but in regards to this gallery problem maybe your team should focus on finding a solution that makes it so gallery images are easily indexed.

Ed, I have done their tips, but after over a year of trying to find a solution to this they have not come close.

As a business, this seriously affects our seo ranking by losing out on hundreds of content worthy images being easily noticed by google. I’m sure the affect is just as great on yours.

Best of luck, but from my experience if this is a serious problem I would recommend looking for a different theme. That’s something I have begun to do. Enfold is easy to use, but it seems to be easier to recreate our website in a naturally more seo friendly way using a different platform then solve this image seo problem with enfold….

This is what Yoast told me previously, but they still are not indexed on google:
Hi Dean,

Thanks for your email.

Our plugin only analyzes the default WordPress content areas (title, url, main content box, etc.) If you are adding your images through other plugin/theme content boxes, Yoast SEO Premium won’t be able to detect them. However, this doesn’t mean that Google won’t be able to index them. Our content analysis is just to validate the content of your website and doesn’t really affect how search engines index your site. So if you have images there that aren’t recognized by our plugin, you should be fine.

In the past, we have tried to parse shortcodes and other content boxes with horrible results so we opted to provide plugin and theme developers with an API that can be used to pass their content to our page analysis.

If you are using a plugin or theme that doesn’t send their content to our page analysis, please reach out the developer and ask them about adding the functionality to their visual builder. This KB article will help them with the implementation: Can I add data to the page analysis?

Yes we’re set up on google webmasters.and no not for that particular url. I will try that.

Any other thoughts?

When can I expect a reply or update?

I do appreciate all of your help i’ve received, but I do get nervous with sensitive info especially when it’s my clients.

Just spoke to our hosting account and they said nothing was being blocked on their end.

So does anyone from the Enfold team have an actual solution?

Or do you guys not even know? I’ve asked multiple times and have gotten everything but a real answer. Always blaming someone else whether it’s yoast or now Godaddy.

Then this is what you told me previously:
I think what you are referring to is background images and I don’t think the Yoast plugin will include those, but I wouldn’t worry too much about it since search engines will see the image even if Yoast doesn’t.

———————————————————-

2 things: 1) Why do you keep referring to masonry gallery images as background images? 2) you both told me not to worry, but they still are not indexed on google?

I have been trying to solve this problem for a long time and need a solution because it’s a business’ website.
