garratt on "[Plugin: WordPress SEO by Yoast] XML Parsing Error: junk after document element"

$

Hey Yoast,
can you solve this riddle?

WordPress version: 3.5.1
WordPress SEO version: 1.4.7

I did this: updated wpseo plugin a week or so ago to 1.4.7.

I expected the plugin to do this: continue working as expected.

Instead it did this:

XML Parsing Error: junk after document element
Location: http://www.website.com/sitemap_index.xml
Line Number 36, Column 54:<!-- XML Sitemap generated by Yoast WordPress SEO --><script type="text/javascript" > jQuery(document).ready(function($) { jQuery.get('http://www.website.com/wordpress/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron=0'); }); </script>
-----------------------------------------------------^

sitemap-index.xml does not exist in cpanel public folder. Even asking it to show hidden files it can't see it.

No wpseo tables in database exist, I'm unsure where you store plugin information. I can't even look at this error line number.
-------------------------------------------
I did this: Deactivated Plugin then deleted, then reinstalled

I expected the plugin to do this: work again

Instead it did this: same error.
-------------------------------------------

I did this: posted a junk post

I expected the plugin to do this: recreate sitemap

Instead it did this: same error.

-------------------------------------------
I did this: Deactivated last two installed plugins. Organise series post (3 weeks ago installed it) and Covert Cookie (1-2 week ago installed it) Deleted wpseo again, installed again

I expected the plugin to do this: magically start working

Instead it did this: same error

any thoughts? ideas? questions?

I can confirm that both my sites which were experiencing this issue now work as you described, that is, the content is automatically copied from the Page Builder tab into the Visual amd Text tabs, and is therefore picked up by the SEO plugin.

Thanks Greg - really appreciated. :-)

Hey, I came here thinking this didn't work, but it does.

So, FYI:
If anyone else comes here with a similar issue - the above fix, of course, works. The reason mine were still displaying incorrectly is because I had the Yoast SEO title field filled in on some particular pages. That field has to be blank for the settings in Titles & Metas to work.
duhhh :)

Hope this gets fixed soon. It's been going on 8 months and no response from Yoast.

If this is pinging Google with every post update it's the exact OPPOSITE of good SEO. Hard to believe this would be allowed to remain.

Maybe it's gone by now? Who knows.

Yoast please reply and update us all. Thanks.

Doesn't work, date shows up in google snippet, and my meta description is cut. I've been waiting the fix for this for a very long time.
I haven't checked the option for date display.
I had add_filter( 'wpseo_show_date_in_snippet_preview', '__return_false' ); in my functions.php for months, but nothing to do.
I removed the filter, in case of some strange conflict with the option.
I checked the option, in case of some strange something, or a bad translation.
Nothing to do, date is always there.

Please I will really appreciate some help here...for weeks now I've scouted the web for a solution and all the suggestions seem not to work for me.
The %%sitename%% template has refused to show up on my post titles, only appearing when I activate 'Force rewrite titles' or enter them manually while writing a post. This makes it difficult for me to share my post on Google+ because the title then bears the sitename, which I can't edit.
I have tried the following:
- Disabled all my plugins except the SEO plugin and changed back to the default Wordpress theme as advised. Nothing changed.
- Made sure the code <title><?php wp_title(''); ?></title> is in the Header section of my theme. I even tried to modify it a little as suggested by some people, yet nothing worked.
- My title template for posts is set as %%title%% | %%sitename%%,exactly the same way Yoast set their own. I wonder why theirs is showing and mine not.
What am I missing? Please see one of my post pages to see what I'm talking about.

How does this plugin add a 301 redirect to a page. Is it placed in the header of the individual page? Doesn't look like it's placed in the htaccess file. I'm trying to locate all of the 301's that have been implemented using the plugin.

Oh, really?!

It is HostGator - can you recommend me a better host than this? I don't think so! :)

And with this high CPU usage, any host will block my site, not only HostGator! The same thing happened also before, when I has my site hosted at iPage - so it will be the same with any host!

It is not about the hosting service, it as about the plugin's CPU usage, that is extremely high!

WordPress version: 3.5.1
WordPress SEO version: 1.4.7

I did this:
Click "Update" on a post.

I expected the plugin to do this:
Save the "SEO Title" field.

Instead it did this:
Saved an empty string as the "SEO Title" field.

This is due to IE 9 and below not supporting the placeholder attribute. Adding the following code to line 118 of wp-seo-metabox.js gets around the issue:

jQuery.support.placeholder = (function(){
var i = document.createElement('input');
return 'placeholder' in i;
})();

if ( ! jQuery.support.placeholder) {
force = true;
}

WordPress version: 3.5.1 latest (not beta)
WordPress SEO version: latest

I used the "Google XML Sitemaps" plugin and recently started using WordPress SEO by Yoast and I've noticed the Yoast plugin seems to have a sitemap generator built in - can I simply delete the "google XML Sitemap" plugin and leave sitemap generation all up to the Yoast one? Can I have both plugins running together? Lastly: it appears that, instead of creating a sitemap in the root, the Yoast plugin creates multiple sitemaps (which don't seem to appear when viewing things via ftp)... why make more than one? And why doesn't it create a sitemap.xml file in the root?

Sorry to bother you (I can imagine you get a lot of questions already..), but I'd really like a quick reply to this if at all possible.

Best,
Brin

Here is the solution that worked for me after debugging the code:
1. Open this file: wp-admin/js/post.min.js
2. Format the code of that file using a service like this: http://www.formatjavascript.com/
3. Find l = n.split("-"); In my case it was line 250.
4. Replace

l = n.split("-");
l.shift();
i = l.join("-");
k = i + "_tab";

with

if (n) {
l = n.split("-");
l.shift();
i = l.join("-");
k = i + "_tab";
}

5. Go to the admin and refresh. Problem should be solved now.

I just had this same issue. I ended up deactivating and deleting WordPress SEO and reinstalling and reactivating it to get rid of the OpenGraph data. I wish I did not have to do that since I lost my settings for WordPress SEO and had to redo them.

Hi yoast.
Your plugin has been a great help for my site. The optimization work very good. I'm quite impressed with the result. However, I have simple request for you.

Could you split category an tag as well (not only posts)?
WordPress is great platform and I use it in almost all my project. Few of my sites were using uncommon setup. It has more than four thousands of Categories and hundreds of tags. I know it is somewhat odd. Using Too many categories is not good idea. I already understand about it. I'm planning to use custom category but it would have the same problem as well.

I wish you consider to implement it in your next release.
Anyway, few information below may helful for you:
WordPress version: Latest (3.5.1)
WordPress SEO version: Latest (1.4.7)

I did this: using sitemap for huge categories and it failed to do the job due to PHP time/memory limit. Splitting categories in multiple sitemap might help. You may consider to limit the request to database for each 1000 categories as well.

I expected the plugin to do this: split the category sitemap and retrieve few amounts of categories (maybe 1000) from database for each query (due to memory and time limitation).

Instead it did this: didn't split the category sitemap and make a query to database for large result. Due to huge categories, the sitemap wasn't created because it hit the PHP memory and time limitation.

Last, I enjoy reading and sharing my opinion in your blog.

Well, the code change above works against instant pinging.

However, I saw that after a few hours, Webmaster Tools shows that the sitemap is Pending again, which means it was pinged. This is still fine, at least I can do several edits without worrying about excess pinging. Why do I edit several times ? Well, I change my mind sometimes, or correct something.

So why is it pinging ? I then remembered Joost mentioning something about a cron in the change log. So I installed the plugin
WP Crontrol (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-crontrol/).

Voila, there is a cron to ping. And other crons I have never known about before. So it's great, now I can optimize the cron jobs to what I feel like ... you learn something everyday :)

astrasuite on "[Plugin: WordPress SEO by Yoast] disable XML sitemap automatic pinging for google and bing"

Well, I changed the code again after learning about crons, restored original inc/wpseo-functions.php, and instead modified class-sitemaps-admin.php. Commented out some lines and changed time from 300 (5 minutes) to 86400 for the cron job. That's 1 day for me to do as many edits before it pings.

Anyway, all the best to others in solving the issue ...

// Allow the pinging to happen slightly after the hit sitemap index so the sitemap is fully regenerated when the ping happens.
		if ( wpseo_get_value( 'sitemap-include', $post->ID ) != 'never' ) {
		//  jcr (that's me)
		//	if ( defined( 'YOAST_SEO_PING_IMMEDIATELY' ) && YOAST_SEO_PING_IMMEDIATELY )
		//		wpseo_ping_search_engines();
		//	else
				wp_schedule_single_event( ( time() + 86400 ), 'wpseo_ping_search_engines' );
		}

Hi,

A company I am working with has a few sites using WPMU Dev's Infinite SEO plugin. I would like to switch these over to Yoast's WordPress SEO plugin and was wondering if there is anyway to import the data into the Yoast plugin?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Justin
