Yoast SEO conflict and pagination

    Hello guys,

    There is something wrong I do not know if it is with Yoast SEO plugin of with Salient, but my theme is ending up with serious duplicate title/description issues.

    I have Wordpress SEO by Yoast set to noindex subpages and to give diferent titles for items that are in a pagination.

    This is working very well except where there is a shortcode. For example, titles and noindex tags are working in my categories pages. However, they are not working in pages with shotcodes, like my home page and my porfolio page.

    In both places, I am getting duplicate title issues and the plugin is not being able to insert the noindex tags.

    I have searched the forum for similiar issue and had not find any.

    Best regards,

    Breno

    Guys,

    Does this have anything to do with this issue? It seems that a query is being loaded too late...

    https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/437

    Could you help me here? Maybe some code to place in header.php, I guess.

    regards

    Hey Breno!

    Can you deactivate the plugin and see if the issues are appearing. If they are coming from the plugin i believe you will have to wait for a fix by them .

    Thanks

    Hi there Tahir,

    I see no point in deactivating the plugin, since it is not causing an issue. In fact, it comes to solve a natural Wordpress issue. If I deactivate it, the problem will still be there.

    The problem here is that SEO plugins are not working properly with Salient shortcode generated pages... These plugins correct normal pagination duplicate titles and description issues by adding a noindex tag and unique titles to paginated items (.../page/). On pages that are not shortcoded, everything works fine in Salient.

    Since duplicate titles and description is really bad for SEO and shortcodes are one of the most amazing things within Salient, it would be nice to have both things working properly.

    The link I sent you before (https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/437) is about another guy experincing the same problem with another theme. The conclusion was that the pagination query was running too late on a template file, when it should run earlier, on the header. Since I am not a coder, I can't say if that the issue with Salient.

    If that is the case, could you help us to run that query earlier, so SEO plugins may take an action on that?

    Best regards
