Support » Plugin: Yoast SEO » Proper Yoast Configuration To Prevent Content Duplication?

    Hi!

    I just fixed a bad problem but created a worse one by deactivating Yoast after an IT expert reviewed copy-pasted Page Editor code and said Yoast was causing content to display in 7-10-fold duplicate on several pages at http://www.luckeywriter.com.

    After repeatedly getting a Code 403 Error on every attempt to bulk deactivate all plug-ins, I finally figured out that it might be Jetpack causing lack of permissions to bulk deactivate. After deactivating JetPack, duplicated content reduced to just 1 repeat rather than 7 or 10.

    Upon deactivating Yoast SEO immediately afterward, ALL duplicated content finally disappeared. HOWEVER, a good SEO plugin is obviously mandatory and overwhelming expert consensus advises Yoast is #1 for WP bloggers.

    I also suspect that mis-inserted Google Analytics Universal Tracking Code was a contributing cause, being a technical neophyte with no prior experience in website setup and maintenance, etc. So I’m virtually 100% sure that I didn’t insert GA tracking codes properly.

    Can anyone advise me about how to reactivate Yoast and allow GA tracking w/o having this issue reoccur?

    Thanks in advance.

    FYI: I found out since posting the original message in this thread that the Code 403 Error was caused by Bad Behavior. I overlooked an embedded link in the error message that led to explanatory content that Bad Behavior will generate a Code 403 when run on any port except 80 or 400(?).

    Although my expert IT assistant advised my site does in fact run on port 80, I temporarily deactivated Bad Behavior and had no Code 403 errors on bulk or individual plug-in deactivation afterward.

    As a technical neophyte dummy, I dunno why, but it worked!
