We don’t recommend having the focus keyword being part of the anchor text for a link. Please change it to something else. You may refer to this kb article to learn more: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/warning-youre-linking-to-another-page-with-the-focus-keyword/
You can find the Yoast variables listed here.
Can you please manually install the plugin by uploading the plugin files via FTP?
If you have multiple physical locations, you can use the Local SEO plugin to set up those locations on your site. For Local SEO to work efficiently, you have to have a brick and mortar business as you’ll have to set a physical address in your setup. Google does need to know the exact location of the business in order to give a high ranking in local search.
You may want to update WordPress to the latest version first. If it’s still the same, please perform a conflict check.
All our premium plugins, including Local SEO, are expected to work with the latest version of WordPress. In fact, we do not support old versions of WordPress and plugins as explained in this kb article.
Have you tried performing a conflict check? It’s possible that your other plugins or your theme is conflicting with our plugin.
By default, the Yoast SEO plugin only analyses the default WordPress content areas. It does not recognize content that is outside of the main content box of a page or post. If you’re using custom fields or other plugin/theme content boxes, Yoast may not be able to recognize that. Please get in touch with the developer of your editor to request compatibility. They can learn how to integrate with Yoast here: https://github.com/Yoast/YoastSEO.js/blob/master/README.md
As for the focus keyword not in first paragraph warning, this is often thrown out if there is an HTML element, code, image, or whitespace around the keyword which is affecting Yoast’s ability to scan for it. Try switching to classical or code view and inspect the post and check if there’s anything above the first paragraph.
The Yoast sitemap is generated on the fly so you won’t find any physical sitemap file on your server. You can find the sitemap generated by Yoast here: http://www.lustaufleben.at/sitemap_index.xml
To test it properly, you need to deactivate all other plugins and switch to a standard theme like Twenty Seventeen. So it’s just Twenty Seventeen and Yoast SEO running. Nothing else. You can do the same with the other SEO plugins. This is to make sure that plugin or theme conflict isn’t at play.
Upon checking the source code of the URL you provided, it looks like the noindex tag isn’t coming from the Yoast SEO plugin. Have you tried deactivating other plugins or theme functions to see if it removes it?
Have you checked for conflicts? If you haven’t yet, please do so. We recommend using the Health Check plugin as it allows you to run a conflict check without affecting normal visitors to your site. Please refer to this kb article: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts/#conflict-check.
Sorry to say there’s no option in the Yoast SEO plugin to rename the sitemap.
To fix duplicate meta tags, please refer to this kb article: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-do-i-fix-duplicate-meta-tags/
Make sure that the XML Sitemaps functionality is enabled in the plugin. Please refer here. If you’re still getting a 404 error, please flush your permalinks by going to Admin > Settings > Permalinks and save the page without changing anything. Once done, try loading your sitemap again.

By default, the Yoast SEO plugin only analyses the default WordPress content areas. It does not recognize content that is outside of the main content box of a page or post. If your images are contained somewhere else, the plugin may not be able to detect them. This doesn’t mean though that Google won’t be able to crawl them. Google will still crawl them it’s just that our plugin isn’t capable of analyzing them.
