Hi @bruberries

Thank you for the helpful reply. Just now, I went to submit a feature request using your provided link and clicking “New Issue,” but received the message, “Issues are disabled for the selected repository. Please select a different repository.” Am I doing this correctly? I don’t know my way around GitHub.

Also, if it’s not too much to ask, could you provide that CSS snippet that would hide the popup on my portfolio pages, and where I would insert it (I’m assuming a template)?

I appreciate the help!

I’m still waiting for this issue to be resolved. Any updates?

Hi @bruberries,

Thank you for the response. I’m a bit confused on the technical stuff. In my screenshot, I have the toggle set to “display on all posts/products,” but my music posts are posts. Shouldn’t my form be displaying on them, then? Also, why would my form be displaying on other categories’ posts, like those under the video games category? They all share the same post template, so there should be no unique code. If you look at non-music posts, they have my end-of-post form displayed.

When I say they don’t appear on category posts, what I mean is they don’t appear on posts under that category. I’m not aiming for it to display on archive pages, but rather on the posts within an archive.

Does this clear anything up? Sorry if I’m wording things poorly.

Hi, @threadi. Sorry for the slow reply. I’ve been very busy. I still need to look into those things you mentioned, but I noticed something that might narrow down the issue.

During these long load times, I’ve tried to access my site in incognito mode, where it typically loads at normal speeds. Recently, I’ve attempted to actually log in in incognito mode, which also loads at normal speeds. This means I can receive a minutes-long load time in my normal setup, then copy and paste the exact same editing URL into incognito mode, log in, and continue to work even before the original page has loaded!

Does this point to what might be going wrong?

Thank you for your help, @maybellyne. It’s too bad to hear Yoast currently doesn’t have a workaround. I would prefer not to configure my site’s aesthetics around Yoast’s lacking customization options. I think this is a reasonable request, as dark themes are quite popular. I may be compelled to give Yoast a poor rating, at least until this is addressed. I’d be happy to change it if that ever happens!

Regardless, I appreciate you looking into the issue.

Thank you, @maybellyne! Your response was very helpful. I will put additional care into my tag and category page SEO.

Thank you so much, @threadi. I can more clearly visualize how this all works on the backend, now. I do want to affect postmeta as well, for consistency. This is my professional portfolio, so I want anything visible to adhere to MLA conventions.

I’m using the default block editor, as far as I know. I know there’s things like Gutenberg, but I’m still figuring out my way through the default editor, so I’d rather not step over that acquired knowledge so quickly.

Incidentally, the glossary tool does provide functionality I’ve considered before. I like to be thorough, and this could cut down on the density of my pages without removing information. How taxing is a plugin like this? I use cost-effective hosting, so I’m always a little cautious of things affecting my speed too much.

Hi Pete, @dilirity

So, false alarm! My host and I thought Boost was the cause of these outages, but while disabling it did appear to decrease their frequency, the ultimate problem ended up being within .htaccess. I just now reenabled Boost, and I have yet to notice any of the same behavior. I’ll let you know if it returns, and use the link you provided.
