Yoast settings help

[ttb]

I could use some real help here in my Yoast settings. I had some great settings before but we switched servers and it looks like we lost all our settings. I've taken some screenshots and I'm hoping someone can help!

The best suggestion I can give you is to read their tutorial which is very good an explains all the settings.

Here is the link: Yoast Wordpress Tutorial

I would put %%excerpt%% in all the descriptions to give them a default description.

Also - you can check out my article on WordPress SEO from Moz - its very detailed and has all the best practice settings.

Dan,

Won't putting %%excerpt%% stop Google from pulling the meta description that we put into each post? It would simply repeat the description of the site over and over, no?

We actually go through the pains of entering a meta-description each time for every post we do...

Thanks!

Hi... nope... if there is a custom description in the post its self it uses that instead of the template.
