 * Hi to anyone!
 * I noticed that Yoast free plugin does not recognize and process posts generated
   by other plugins.

 * Only after I open, and (just) click on the post’s Update button, the gray-dot
   changes in green/orange-dot.
 * What can I do?
 * Thank you

 * Hello [@dceditore](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dceditore/)
 * Thanks for reaching out about the Yoast SEO content analysis. The plugin analyzes
   the default WordPress content areas like the title, URL, the main content box(
   WordPress editor). **If you are adding your content through other plugin or theme
   content boxes (as most page builders do), Yoast SEO Premium may not be able to
   detect it by default.** Currently, we are compatible with the Elementor page 
   builder. The [Yoast SEO Elementor integration](https://yoast.com/yoast-elementor/)
   is free to use for everyone; no premium or add-on is required for core functionality.
 * If you are using another page builder, please understand that page builders commonly
   use a custom editor designed by their team. Because plugins rely on the default
   editor, some page builders make the data entered into their editor available 
   in the default editor. In these cases, Yoast SEO will see and analyze the content
   as if created with the default editor. When this is not the case, an integration
   feature must be available to parse the page builder content into Yoast SEO for
   analysis.
 * It’s like opening a room to find a safe inside it. Unless you have the code to
   unlock the safe, you can only see the inside of the room. To get the code to 
   open the safe, you must contact the person who set the unlock code. We have tried
   to automatically unlock and parse content from other plugins and themes with 
   inferior results in the past. Therefore, we opted to provide an API that developers
   can use to unlock their content and pass it to our page analysis.
 * If you are using a plugin or theme that doesn’t send their content to our page
   analysis, please reach out to the author or developer to request an integration
   feature for better SEO compatibility. Our development team provides information
   about creating a custom integration [here](https://developer.yoast.com/customization/yoast-seo/adding-custom-data-analysis/).
   In the meantime, you can create a draft post without using the page builder and
   copy the content section from the frontend of your site into the default editor.
   The Yoast analysis will run on the draft’s copy of the content so you can review
   and change the content in both editors. Once you’ve optimized the content, you
   can discard the draft copy.
 * **Although our plugin does not detect your content and shows an incorrect analysis
   report, this does not affect how search engines crawl and analyze your site. 
   Search engines process the front end of your site and will detect your content.**
