We are running WP 4.2.2 – Enfold 3.1.2. – WordPress SEO 2.1.1
All our pages were built using the Avia Layout Builder. The SEO Page analysis shows “There are 0 words contained in the body copy. This is far too low and should be increased.” and “No images appear in this page, consider adding some as appropriate.”. There is body copy and images.
The only modification to the theme was temp fix the issue with register-widget-area.php errors where the register_sidebar was called incorrectly.
It appears WordPress SEO by Yoast is unable to see Avia Layout Builder body content.
Hi webcitymedia!
Yes that is a known issue. There is not much we can do about it now. If it’s absolutely necessary you can use the default editor but it’s not that big of a deal so I would ignore it. Keep in mind that it has no effect on your actual SEO it’s just that the plugin cannot see it in the layout builder.
Cheers!
ElliottThanks for the reply Elliott. Can I assume this issue will be resolved soon? I plan to introduce this theme to new clients since it performs well otherwise and is flexible. The Yoast SEO plugin helps self direct customers to optimize the web site SEO elements.
Hey!
Most of the advance page builders (visual composer, mini-max, fusion builder, etc) out there don’t work well with the Yoast SEO plugin’s analysis feature. This is something the plugin should improve on, not vice versa. You can contact the plugin author for more info.
Cheers!
IsmaelI am not sure where to turn here. There are three parties involved in this issue. Should this issue be fixed by the plugin, theme and or page builder author? The SEO plugin was designed for use for the WordPress platform and the native built in editor and a standard location of the content. If a theme chooses to use a different editor that stores the content elsewhere the theme developers and advance page builders should use common code to allow any plugin to “see” all content regardless of it’s location. Sort of like an alias path.
If I has the background to develop a WP plugin that works with the WP core I don’t think I should be required to add code at my own expense to support a third party plugin.
I think this is on the page builder folks to work together for a common solution within the WP framework. Isn’t the Avia Layout Builder is an Kriesi product?
Hi!
Perhaps in the future it will be worked out but there is not much we can do about it now. If it’s absolutely necessary you can use the default editor but it’s not that big of a deal so I would ignore it. Keep in mind that it has no effect on your actual SEO it’s just that the plugin cannot see it in the layout builder.

ElliottI have the same problem with the Avia Layout Builder. I understand that it doesn’t actually effect the SEO, but I want to be able to use the full functionality of the Yoast SEO plugin.
I’m seeing this post on Yoast’s site: http://kb.yoast.com/article/217-is-the-plugin-compatible-with-xyz-visual-page-builder
where it talks about adding data to the page analysis http://kb.yoast.com/article/91-can-i-add-data-to-the-page-analysis
and the following code on GitHub which uses a filter: https://gist.github.com/tacoverdo/6578081Will this code fix this problem? If so, can you tell me exactly how this code should read to work with the Enfold theme?
Kriesi has sold us a great theme with a good but proprietary editor that enables great control over the payout of posts and pages. Avia Layout Builder is a selling point. It works well as advertised.
Yoast SEO provides a great tool to help users setup the SEO for each page/post in a educational way. It is one of the most widely used SEO plugins. It should not be required to write custom code for every optional editor.
The solution lies with Kriesi. There should be option in any theme using the Avia Layout Builder to use the code suggested by Yoast to make the content generated by the Avia Layout Builder visible to Yoast SEO.
Hi!
It seems that it is something that needed a lot, so we will try to get it into consideration.
Just a heads up, that there are many different plugins out there, and it is hard to keep our themes working with all of them!
Regards,
BasilisIt is agreed it would be unreasonable to support every plugin. Plugins with a major following like Yoast SEO which provide an essential service to the WordPress community need to be supported. Especially if Yoast folks stepped up and provided instructions to allow a seamless integration with their code by any theme using a proprietary editor. A check box in the theme options would work best to turn on the compatibility.
Thanks for the reply Basilis, but you didn’t answer my question. With the code that is provided by Gravity Forms at GitHub, will this solve the problem if the code is placed in the functions.php folder? Does it have to be altered and if so in what way? Please reply with exact details. Thanks so much.
Hi!
Possibly, it’s something that our devs have been looking into. Though it looks like the filter you posted is only available in the premium version of the plugin.
Regards,
ElliottI think this should be checked out: http://kb.yoast.com/article/151-i-cant-save-seo-data-when-using-avia-layout-builder
I tried this without success.
Hi!
@webcitymedia, That is the same filter that TheURLdr linked to, http://kb.yoast.com/article/91-can-i-add-data-to-the-page-analysis. It appears it’s only available in the premium version of the plugin.Regards,
ElliottHello,
I also use the Yoast Seo Plugin and yoast cannot read content of avia layout. Is there a solution?
Ich nutze auch das Yoast Seo Plugin und es erkennt keinen Text vom Avia Layout Builder. Gibt es hier bereits eine Lösung?Unfortunately I didn’t find a solution in this forum.
Leider konnte ich keine im Forum finden. Vielen DankI see this topic became alive…
Here is my opinion: yes Yoast Seo Plugin cannot read content of avia layout, but this should resolve the Author of the Yoast plugin. Yoast should be compatible with themes – so let’s contact Yoast to improve their product ;)WordPress states “When developing Themes, it’s good to keep in mind that your Theme should be set up so that it can work well with any WordPress plugins users might decide to install.” https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development
Imagine if you are the author of an SEO plugin and would have to make special arrangements for everyone who decides to break this WP standard. I would ask myself why should I spend my time and resource$ to fix a problem setup by someone else?
Kriesi developers made a choice to include functionality that is not compatible with a plugin that looks for SEO source content in the normal WP location. Kriesi should work with SEO Yoast to bring the Enfold theme and probably a lot of others back to WordPress core tenant of themes working well with plugins.
The large question here is: Has Kriesi talked to Yoast development? It is quite possible Yoast might help them add functionality to the Kriesi themes.
The fact is Enfold is compatible with Yoast SEO, it is just not supporting 3 spots color feature. I guess Developers of Yoast SEO plugin could think of better flexibility and do scaning in front end as crawling bots are scaning the page.
