Internal links not recognized by Yoast SEO

    I created 4-5 internal links in Elementor as a button using proper links (same ‘https://….’ everywhere in the link and also in my original website), but Yoast SEO does not recognize them. Also created a Navigation Menu (through Appearance/Menu) and placed in the Footer that directs to different pages of the website. However, still getting the message in SEO analysis that “Internal links: No internal links appear in this page, make sure to add some!” Why is that? Would search engine still recognize my internal links or do I have to fix something? Thanks for your help in advance.

    There are a few cases where links might not be recognized: Only links from inside the WordPress post editor are recognized. This means that links from navigational bars, menus, sidebars or footers are not recognized. If you’re using custom fields or other plugin/theme content boxes, widgets, including page builders and visual composers, Yoast may not be able to recognize that.

    This doesn’t mean though that Google won’t be able to crawl them. Google will still crawl them it’s just that our plugin isn’t capable of analyzing them.
    Links need to be in absolute form. This means that links need to include the full domain. For example, http://www.example.com/page-a is an absolute link, while /page-a/ is a relative link.
