I’ve the same problem, but seems to be fixed with 3.0.7 update of the plugin.
Thanks
but the plugin is update before my comment
the problem is major when you write the text(post) before title
thanks
The new update didn’t seem to work for me. Anyone else had any luck solving this? Is there something in Yoast I can just turn off?
Same problem over here. With Yoast SEO activated, WordPress “freezes” posts’ permalinks as soon as they’re first automatically generated on draft mode. Then, if you make any change to the title before publishing, the permalink stays the same.
This is very bad. :-/
I just experienced the same problem on a real estate website in multiple languages (WPML). I have many posts with identical titles (e.g. “3 bedroom house in town_name”). New additions have been assigned the exact URL of already-existing posts (i.e. the sequential numbering of post slugs like -2, -3, -4 etc. has not occured) causing tons of redirects and 404s. Disabe the plugin, and everything works properly.
The “fix” I found is:
1. Go to the main posts list in wp-admin
2. Pick a problematic post and “Quick edit”
3. Delete the slug string
4. Click “Update”. The correct slug is then generated. I tried this in the individual post edit screen, but it didn’t work. It has to be via “Quick Edit”
Also, the plugin is not removing stop-words when the posts are initially saved as draft.
Any chance of this being fixed on the plugin’s next version?
I’m almost disabling it, only because of it.
No response from the plugin developer, no ETA for a fix. 🙁
Doesn’t seem to have been fixed on 3.1, even with changes related to posts’ slugs. Bugger.
Anyone here clueful on WP’s changes to draft handling? IIRC something changed recently in a major version.
3.1.1 released today. Bug still not fixed.
I have the same problem too.
And according to 3.1.2’s release notes, bug still not fixed either.
Installed 3.2.3 today. Bug still not fixed; unbelievable. 🙁
And, of course, 3.2.4 is out without any fix for this.
