ACF Custom Field in SEO Analysis

Resolved streamworksaudio

Hi,

I am testing out the Rank Math plugin on a local sandbox machine and I have several ACF fields for my page post types, I have the ACF option enabled but the SEO analysis is not reading from the custom field (score never changes).

Perhaps the issue could be with the fact that there is no default wordpress editor loaded (have disabled support for the editor on page post types).

I do have the ACF plugin installed on it’s own and not bundled with a theme. If it could be a theme issue then what does the theme need to support this as the theme we used I wrote myself.

Cheers

Hello @streamworksaudio

Thank you for contacting the support and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

It is working fine on our end even after removing the editor support:

Assuming you are using the latest version of all the plugins and the themes (please update if not yet), it would seem like a conflict with one of the plugins or the theme you are using.

To determine that, please follow this troubleshooting guide:

Only the site admin would know and your users won’t be affected by this troubleshooting.

Looking forward to helping you.

I have my own custom theme that I wrote from the bottom up. Is there supposed to be some sort of support that I need to add to the theme?

In the video you are using an ACF text field, does it matter what type of field it is and what content is in the field? I am using a Codemirror field that I am placing HTML into.

I will try it with a plain text editor.

It seems to be the Codemirror Code field (which is added by a plugin) that does not work. It is working with Text Area and WYSIWYG fields. Those are the only two I have tested thus far anyways.

Hello @streamworksaudio

This shouldn’t cause any problem if you have properly developed the theme, which we assume you have.

You can check if the console is showing any errors or you can activate the default WP theme and see if the content analysis work.

By default, the ACF plugin does not have any Coremirror field. Maybe you are using some addon plugin or are we missing something here?

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Yes, I know it is not a default that ships with ACF, it is a 3rd party add-on.

Just for fun I tried it with the default WordPress 2020 theme and it does the same thing.

So I am thinking it is the codemirror add on that is causing the issue.

With Yoast we had the option to turn off SEO analysis while maintaining the meta data fields. This would allow us to set the meta data but not have to have the plugin do any analysis. Is there any plans to add this to Rank Math? At the moment I can only find an option to disable all SEO boxes for each post type. This however removes all seo options (meta & seo analysis).

I would like to keep using the Codemirror ACF extension (as I like to edit my posts in a classic HTML editor type environment), but as discussed Rank Math and this ACF custom field cannot interact, so I would like to remove the analysis all together.

Possible?

Hello @streamworksaudio

You can disable the On-Page Analysis for a particular user role from the Role Manager settings. Here is a screencast:

Hope that helps. Thank you.
