As far as I can tell, these problems began on 9/4. They appear to be related to the Yoast SEO plugin. I’ve contacted Yoast and they recommended I report these issues here as well.
1) Permalinks for Portfolio Pages are randomly changed to titles from posts when editing a Portfolio Page, resulting in a URL change. I originally noticed this when strange URLs appeared in Google Analytics. For example, the page “/portfolio-item/lifetopix-app” was changed to “/portfolio-item/best-practices-for-getting-things-done-prioritizing-tasks-in-lifetopix”
2) Excerpt and Preview text is stripped from Portfolio Pages when you open and save a Portfolio Page; therefore, top level pages that include this text were stripped of the text.
3) All SEO settings are stripped from Portfolio Pages when opened and saved. I have not tried to modify regular Pages with the plugin enabled – disabled it as soon as the bugs were discovered. Once the plugin was disabled, all issues with changing permalinks were resolved.
Anyone else seeing this problem and is there a fix? It is rather serious. I really don’t want to switch to a different plugin.
I’m using WordPress 3.9.2
Hey Bullwyf!
Can you provide admin credentials for the site here as a private reply so we can log in and take a look. I know Peter has talked with Yoast a good bit about the theme and the plugin making sure things work whenever bugs so if there are issues that need to be addressed we’ll get them sorted out.
Best regards,
DevinHi Bullwyf
Try and install version1.5.5 https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/developers/
It work for us ;-)
Thanks @fourdesigndk
Hi!
@bullwyf Please let us know if @fourdesigndk ‘s suggestion works fine for you too so we can mark the thread as resolved or assist you further :)Best regards,
YigitHi,
I had the exact same problem and lost most of gogle traffic. After I rolled back to yoast 1.5.4. traffic from google also came back.
This, however is only a temporary solution. I tried to move to seopressor, but lost traffic again. I don’t want to end up in a situation, where I don’t follow plugin or theme updates, it takes my flexibility.
Please investigate the issue further so that we can at least confirm what the root cause is, and build a plan when to expect a fix.Thanks
I strongly agree that this is an urgent issue requiring whatever collaboration is necessary between Kriesi and Yoast.
This is a crippling problem, and rolling back the version of Yoast SEO is a fragile, temporary solution.
We need to know this is being dealt with. Incompatibility with Yoast SEO is not an option for Enfold, and Enfold is much too popular and established for incompatibility with it to be an option for Yoast.I’m having the same issue and would be super appreciative if you guys could take a look. Beyond the SEO loss, it’s just super annoying to have pages redirect by themselves! Thanks
Hi!
Try deactivating all other active plugins and see if that helps. I’ve tested things out on my dev install and am not getting the same issues with all updated versions of WordPress, theme and the plugin.
Cheers!
DevinDevin, I’m stunned by that answer. You have multiple users with different setups reporting a major conflict with one of the most site-critical plugins much of your user base is using.
The conflict randomly changes page permalinks through websites built with Enfold. and makes using the most important SEO plugin with your theme impossible.
This needs to be tracked down, at the highest level, and you need to tell us that it’s being done.
Hi Devin, Do you mean deactivating all other plugins besides Yoast? And then what? Sorry, not sure how this helps solve the issue? Thanks for helping and clarifying.
Rolling back to an older version of the Yoast plugin would certainly fix the issue (because it worked before), but I agree that this is only a temporary solution. I will be more likely to use a different plugin if this isn’t resolved within the next couple of weeks. I also agree with Camtay. Not sure how deactivating the other plugins will solve the issue. Everything was fine until the update of the Yoast plugin approximately 9/4.
Also, when attempting to re-create the issue, take into account all is fine until you publish the Portfolio pages and then go back to modify them later. It occurs after you re-publish. If you don’t regularly make changes to portfolio pages, you could easily miss this problem. I first noticed it when seeing strange URLs in Google Analytics.
I apologize, but I cannot provide you with Admin credentials, and I don’t want to re-activate this plugin on a live site because I do not want to fix the damage once again.
TY

Regards,
IsmaelThank you for posting this update Ismael.
Following the links in your post, I have some discomfort with the following:
• One of the linked sources recommends updating to Yoast SEO version 1.6.1, in which this issue is NOT fixed.
• The most recent information directly from Yoast in your links is more than a month old and suggests that at least at that time they were giving this issue low priority and had no ETA for a fix.If you have more concrete and reassuring information, can you please provide it? I can personally verify that downgrading to Yoast SEO version 1.5.5 is straightforward and works as a temporary fix — but this is a deal-breaker level issue, I am concerned about the current and future stability of multiple sites developed in Enfold, and would like a stronger reassurance from you.
Thanks.
Hi!
If I am not mistaken, Dude created a workaround for this and should be included on the next update. For confirmation, I’ll ask him to take a look.
