We’re also running into the fetching issue and followed the next step to manually register on OnPage’s site. The only problem is that after getting an email verification email, OnPage stated that it would send an additional email with login details. The login details email has not arrived in the past couple hours.
This recent update appears to be causing more agita than calm. I would just like to know if these errors are pointing to legitimate server error or a plugin bug.
By the way, the OpenPage login site notification pop-ups are all in German.
Why has Yoast required users have to give their personal info to yet another website in this case OnPage, in order to get the issues fixed with our sites caused by this Yoast SEO update?? Very frustrating. And as BigFeat asked, is this really a server error or a plugin bug? I tried the Fetch and update process as outlined but I still have the same error: Your homepage cannot be indexed by search engines.
FYI – I checked our server log and can’t retrieve any errors that would point to this. My next step was to contact GoDaddy and they stated there is nothing in our server that would restrict us meeting the first two criteria on Yoast’s link:
1.Your server can’t connect to other servers at all
2.Your server has a whitelist of servers it’s allowed to connect to, in this case, adding onpage.org would fix that
So this still begs me to ask, could this possibly be a plugin bug if we aren’t able to identify any issues on our server? What are our next step or should Yoast be going back to the drawing board to verify whether it may have missed a viable bug.
