Thread: WordPress SEO by Yoast | XML Sitemaps - Post titles and meta descriptions

Yes I've turned all plugins off and as soon as I activate Wordpress SEO plugin I have problems once I turn it off everything works

Hi.

I still have a problem with my sitemap.xml

This page contains the following errors:

error on line 2 at column 6: XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

I don't use any other plugin. And I use the last version of Wordpress SEO. Do you know where could from the problem?

Cheers.

Hi barukar, Thanks the 3.5 resolved my problem.

Just, If you are indexing the search. the number of page is not working.

I'am doing This title template for Search pages :

Ads %%searchphrase%%, Offer%%searchphrase%% %%page%%


it work well and google send me visitors.

The problem is that the Title is the same for all pages. %%page%% isn't working.

risk of duplicate content.

Any IDEA

@ piplo, Hi piplo.
Did you verify you're canonical. see if you have made any changes in the canonical url, in a post or category and remove it.

The "%%page%%" only works when paging is enabled, ie when you do a search and return only one page the title will not contain the number of pages. Moreover interessente would set the search page to "noindex, follow"

Here's a research with the "%%page%%" working: Pesquisa por vendo | Classimóveis Página 2 de 5

Thank you for your reply.

But I do not know what that means. Where can I see this?

For some reason, Yoast is adding an extra title. I followed all of the instructions on the first page.

Please see screenshot for example.

How can I get rid of the extra site title? I followed all the instructions on the first page.

Thanks. See screenshot.

Be aware that for WordPress SEO to be able to modify your page titles, the title section of your header.php file should look like this:

<title><?php wp_title(''); ?></title>

If you can't modify or don't know how to modify your template, check the box "Force rewrite titles"
Be aware that changing your template will be faster.

Many Thanks! The YOAST SEO Plugin works extremely well. It certainly comes into its own when you want to generate an XML sitemap that will include your Ad URLs!
