To fix the error I’ve edited line 27 in the file robots-helper.php so that it checks for a valid array before trying to look in it. * So line 27: `if ( in_array( 'noindex', $presentation->robots, true ) ) {` * Is changed to: `if ( is_array($presentation->robots) && in_array( 'noindex', $presentation->robots, true ) ) {` * Not sure what other ramifications this might have. I’m sure it will be addressed by the Yoast team quickly. In any case you can always roll back to an earlier version. * [dcarey2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcarey2/) * (@dcarey2) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-errors-191/#post-12747466) * Found that it only has warnings when the box to “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” is checked under Settings -> Reading. * [fddlss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fddlss/) * (@fddlss) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-errors-191/#post-12747651) * +1 It gives you the above error when “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” is checked under Settings -> Reading. However, I have 3 website where that option is NOT checked and I’m getting: * There has been a critical error on your website.

Never update to a main update. Will always include a lot of bugs. but local and staging have “Discourage search engines from indexing this site”. * I hope to see another patch today to fix all the new bugs that appeared. * Thread Starter [Rookie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alriksson/) * (@alriksson) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-errors-191/#post-12749307) * [@prunly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prunly/) Thanks, I give it a day to see if they patch it if not I will use your code change. * [prunly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prunly/) * (@prunly) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-errors-191/#post-12751639) * [@alriksson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alriksson/) I can confirm that this function has been rewritten to fix this error in Yoast 14.0.2 * Thread Starter [Rookie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alriksson/) * (@alriksson) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-errors-191/#post-12751742) * [@prunly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prunly/) Saw that, thanks! * [devnihil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devnihil/) * (@devnihil) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-errors-191/#post-12762750) * [@prunly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prunly/) [@alriksson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alriksson/) Thanks for confirming that the update to 14.0.2 corrected the issue for you. * [@alriksson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alriksson/) [@speedyp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/speedyp/) [@dcarey2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dcarey2/) [@fddlss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fddlss/) [@shawnslee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shawnslee/) If you update to the most current version of Yoast SEO version 14.0.4, does this resolve the issue?
