New Yoast - Does Any Like?

**edgarf76** · 22 November 2015, 10:49 am

Yoast released an update and personally I cannot stand the update. How does every body else like this update that uses Yoast? Anyone upgrade to the premium or another plan?

It looks better and it works more efficiënt to me. Technically I have no opinion about the updates yet. Besides that some bugs are fixed.

Don't like that fact that it's included some 3rd party software that now warms me that my site is not indexed in Google, just because I choose to block it's bots in my HTaccess.

so far - no.

The on page part i never use.. Only the 301 redirect which they removed, I think the whole thing is out dated.. The SEO part looks like old methods from early 00s Highlight keyword, put in title, put in 2% etc which can make the page look spammy the pages i rank number 1 for i use the keyword maybe twice.. what yoast advises would make it look over optmized

I hate it. I don t like it. I don t find meta tag in this new update.

it's still there just hard to see where it says snippet editor and a small bit of text you have to click on

Was broken for pages for a while (would work on posts only) but the latest bug fix update, corrected that. I also had a hard time finding the meta tag, but now i actually like it, as it gives u a preview how exactly it will appear in the serps.

Should be an improvement once they sort out the remaining bugs. Amazing they can release a new rewrite of the code without properly testing it. I thought they were a lot better than that. They rushed out a couple of crucial updates to solve the most dangerous bugs. It'll be good when its finished, but I hear wonderpunter re: the seo optimization - was thinking same sort of thing myself and then assumed maybe I was just wrong.

It seems nice at first glance. Although, It wouldn't work when I tried to use it on my site when adding a post in Opera. Works fine with Mozilla or Chrome.

Just click on the pre-written metatag above or below your focus keyword.

bag of crap, lost count the amount of times I write a meta description then it just deletes, replaces the crap what was there and makes me start again

I am glad I did not bother with this plugin, I guess sticking with all-in--one is still a good choice.

nothing wrong with the old version, didn't really do anything special just made your title and meta tags really, same as this version but it just makes it more of a pain when it starts going wrong

**universal4** · 25 November 2015, 6:08 pm

Well the problem is, if you have the plugin already installed, you get constant warnings and recommendations to update/upgrade.

If you don't have it already downloaded somewhere, you need to download the new version, or get it from an un-authorised download directory which may or may not have additional code added.

If enough people are disappointed with the recent changes, they will likely fix it.

I figured it. It does it when it auto saves the draft, which is kinda annoying cause you got a minute if you start exactly after the save. Otherwise you might a few seconds and then it will "refresh". Annoying little bug.

**Triple7** · 29 November 2015, 11:54 am

Quite some bugs and what drives me up the wall most, is that I always have to try 2 or 3 times before the meta description is like I want it.

**MrBinaryAff** · 29 November 2015, 5:41 pm

It's just new. It is like moving from Windows 7 to Windows 8. New Yoast is OK for me for now, didn't find anything odd.

**Christiaan** · 29 November 2015, 5:47 pm

After reading all these comments, I'm going to wait a bit before installing the new version. Or should I update already?

If you want less features or intend to buy the pro then upgrade.. otherwise just stick with the old one
