@vintagesbali thank you very much for your help.
I’m not sure if in my case is a good idea disable canonical entirely.
I’d rather prefer it was like before, i.e. no need to remove canonical URLs and my home page indexed.
I don’t understand at all why now Yoast choose for us not to index the home page too, this is the point. Yet I don’t understand why he blocks the next-pages (2,3…) indexing, but now even the home page? Why? I just don’t understand the sense.
Do you think is it normal that the home page is no longer indexed in the latest versions of the plugin? Is it against the purpose of this plugin, or not?
To fix this, currently I have reinstalled an old version, 1.5.3.3, because I have noticed a decrease in Google indexing since there is this problem.
I think every SEO checker or plugin has it’s own parameters, and not all of them always support each other. Ok, we take http://www.bluesreviews.it/ for example.

“bluesreviews.it looks OK!”
But when i checked from Google , it said
“About 1,940 results (0.22 seconds)
Page Rank: 5 (for homepage)”
It’s just SEO checker or plugin parameters. There is nothing to fear, mate.

@vintagesbali, I understand what you are saying, but it has nothing to do with home page indexing.
I don’t care what all of those different tools say about my page rank, loading time and so on, these are useless information to me now and ever. The problem is that Yoast has changed something, i.e. something has gone wrong (it can be said? Sometimes it seems that Yoast is God…), and home page – not only mine, I guess – is no longer indexable.
It’s not indexable in any way, the tools have nothing to do here, it isn’t a value that change with this or that. Something has gone wrong with Yoast after 1.5.3.3, which is the version I have now – and this also tells you that you have “tested” my site with the “good” version (quotation marks because also 1.5.3.3 is a bugged version, for titles, etc.). I’ve seen this new problem after 1.5.33.
thanks vintagesbali, that’s useful 🙂
