Howdy! Great plugin idea... but the huge warning keeps coming up.

I'm running multisite and have activated your plugin on the individual sites. I just upgraded to the latest version. I've attached the screenshot.

Thanks!

I know there's now a setting inside Yoast to remove the Yoast icon from the admin bar. However, this is only accessible from an individual sites Yoast settings and not from the Yoast network settings.

Can we bring back the setting for removing this so it works for the Network Admin too?

Just open Settings>Permalinks on WP Dashboard and check at the top for a box like this added by Yoast http://prntscr.com/np4hjx,

OK, so there seems to be something pretty weird going on. I don't know if it's a conflict with another plugin or just an issue with this one.

I'm getting the error because when SO Clean UP WP SEO is active, something is trying to load scripts that don't exist?

here an example of the error
http://cjhs2.dev/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/codepress-admin-columns/codepress-admin-columns.php/plugin.min.js?wp-mce-4109-20150505

This error is happening for every active plugin on the site. It seems to be only happening on the 1.6 version. I have another site with this plugin with version 1.5 and there are no errors.

As per title, original thread

Will update thread once added

Hi. I'm hoping you could add support in your plugin for the Yoast SEO conflict nag for Google XML Sitemaps plugin. This one is annoyingly pervasive. It appears on every page in the back end for ALL user levels even after being dismissed. It's very confusing to my contributors because they don't understand what it means and can't access plugins. A plea to Yoast has been ignored because I am not a paying customer (I use the free version of Yoast SEO).

At this point, the nag has annoyed me to the point where I would never use Yoast's version of an XML sitemap even if it was better. For now, I have hidden the warning message by adding the following to my current theme's functions.php file but this is just a temporary fix and I don't feel like I should have to put a child theme in place just for this.

add_action('admin_head', 'disable_yoast_notice');

function disable_yoast_notice() {
  echo '<style>
    #wpseo-dismiss-plugin-conflict {
     display: none;
    }
  </style>';
}

Thanks for your help. :)

Yoast/wordpress-seo#2329 (fix requested almost 5 months ago)

Cpt. Obvious is sure to say something like "Just buy a license bro". Though, other's could be wondering... How do I remove the expired / invalid license nag?

I recommend adding an option to remove expired / invalid license nag. You can cut (or delete) a small snippet of code from local file:

\wordpress-seo-premium\vendor\yoast\license-manager\class-license-manager.php

before uploading it to remote location:

/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo-premium/vendor/yoast/license-manager/class-license-manager.php

Specifically, you'll want to remove lines 117 thru 119

<div class="notice notice-error yoast-notice-error">
    <p><?php printf( __( $message, $this->product->get_text_domain() ), $this->product->get_item_name(), $this->product->get_license_page_url(), $this->product->get_tracking_url( 'activate-license-notice' ) ); ?></p>
</div>

my sftp uses port 22 but you seem to default to port 21. how can I update

using 2.4.0

With the release of gutenberg in wordpress 5.0 Yoast SEO has made compatibility changes on their part.
This includes the mandatory ad to buy the premium version.

I suggest a feature to hide this ad, or simply extend the 'Hides the "Premium" submenu in its entirety.' setting.

Screenshots attached for clarity

Hello,

Do you take the comment tags that the SEO plugin adds in the markup into account? I still can see
<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v3.2.3 - https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo/ -->
and
<!-- / Yoast SEO plugin. -->

YOAST Seo Free contains advertisments for the premium version, and the premium version contains advertisments/callouts for translation help (though many plugins do that)

Expected behavior

An option/checkbox that hides this box (see screenshot)

Current behavior

The box seems to appear randomly, but contains a cartoon-ish logo that doesn't fit with the wordpress core design.

How to replicate

1. Install Yoast SEO Premium
2. Install WPML
3. Set up Finnish language in WPML
4. Navigate around in Seo Premium screens until the box appears.

It's likely that the box will also come with other languages that Yoast Premium isn't translated fully into yet.

Possible way to add this

The advertisment has an ID attribute which can be used to hide it.

#i18n_promo_box {
	display: none!important;
}

Screenshots

Edit: Fixed markdown formatting in list

We are getting the following errors when this plugin is activated

PHP Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, boolean given in wp-content/plugins/so-clean-up-wp-seo/includes/class-so-clean-up-wp-seo.php on line 247

Yoast - Version 4.5
SO Hide SEO Bloat Version 2.6.1

Hello - looks nice plugin - can you make for SEO All In One ?

This helps: https://gist.github.com/llgruff/a7ab776167aa0ed307ec445df54e5fdb

But still a lot of other bloat and also in sitemap

Even though the plugin has this:

/**
 * at some point Yoast SEO has introduced "Primary Category Feature"
 * This function removes this "feature"
 *
 * @since v3.6.0
 */
public function so_cuws_remove_primary_category_feature() {
	if ( ! empty( $this->options['remove_primarycatfeat'] ) ) {
		add_filter( 'wpseo_primary_term_taxonomies', '__return_empty_array' );
	}
}

but that does not seem to work with Yoast Premium. But if I add

add_filter( 'wpseo_primary_term_taxonomies', '__return_empty_array' );

to functions.php then it works fine..

With the latest update of Yoast SEO (9.2), the coloured rating dots have disappeared from the sidebar metabox in the page and post edit screen. The text description (e.g. "SEO: okay") is there but no coloured dots for rating or readability. The one in the admin toolbar is showing (I've got that set to not be hidden). I did update settings for Bloat after the update. This is happening on multiple sites I manage. I can't find any setting for Bloat that should be making the dots disappear.

They are displaying as expected in the column in the lists of pages and posts.

Thanks! Very useful plugin!

In CUWS::so_cuws_hide_visibility_css, there are several calls to in_array with $this->options['hide_admincolumns'] as its second parameter.

in_array expects this parameter to be an array, and at least on my install that assumption is not (always?) true.

Furthermore, the third parameter (strict equality) should generally be set to true when calling in_array.

Hi, there is another yoast column which I hid successfully by by including the line "echo '.column-wpseo-links{display:none;}';" after line 309 in class-so-clean-up-wp-seo.php. Possibly you can extend your settings to include this column as well

Thanks
Anton

The "Page Analysis" tab in the Yoast SEO box that appears when editing posts displays "Page Analysis has been disabled." when activating SO Clean Up Yoast SEO. Is this intentional? Is there an option to selectively enable the "Page Analysis" tab?

Thanks!

Received following via WP Support :
On wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpseo_titles#top#general there is an image that promotes premium local seo services.

Installed your plugin Version 2.5.4 on WP 4.7 hoping to hide 'All SEO Scores' dropdown on Posts admin backend. So far no effect. Please advise fix. Thank you.

Yoast's plugin recently started trying to upsell at the top of the All Posts screen every time you delete a post (page, anything). Super annoying. Would love to see that hidden!

Having just put this together:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/typing-lag-fix-for-yoast-seo/

And having just found your plugin. I am led to the question,

Is it time to just fork Yoast SEO?

originally posted by antonv on WP.org support:

WordPress 4.9.1, PHP 7.1, Hide SEO Bloat 3.4.1
and in wp-config.php: define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);

If I edit a User and then Save I get following warnings:

Notice: Undefined index: option_page in /home/btelg/public_html/wp-content/plugins/so-clean-up-wp-seo/includes/class-so-clean-up-wp-seo-settings.php on line 102

I want to remove to two select boxes that appear in every admin page listing post, pages or cpts:

• SEO Scores filter dropdown
• Readability Scores filter dropdown

Here is an image: https://snag.gy/SJLExf.jpg

I was unable to un-hook, so I hide them. In my functions.php I have:

function my_hide_wpseo() {
    if ( is_admin() ) {
	print '<style>select#wpseo-filter, select#wpseo-readability-filter {display:none;}</style>';
    }
}
add_action( 'restrict_manage_posts', 'my_hide_wpseo', 15 );

I hope this explains.

I just network activated the plugin on my multisite network, but the Yoast SEO dasbhoard messages are still there. Is this normal?

Thanks,
Marc

Yoast 7.0 was released today (March 6, 2018) and has a lot of "improvements".

We need to look into them all and see how we need to fix our settings accordingly.

That will take some time as we have a few projects going on at the moment.

If you see anything that needs adjusting, then please leave a comment on this thread, so we can add that to the list. I have added the first one below as an example.

Open a post, check the Yoast meta box below the post and just below focus keyword, check for this box http://prntscr.com/np4i4i.

Some post types I'd like to view the content analysis, and others not. For example, on pages, I use ACF fields for content, and so the Yoast content analysis section is useless. For my "team" post type, I use the regular the_content field, so the content analysis section is useful.

I have the plugin installed on Multisite. However, the Yoast box still appears on custom post type write screens. Is there something that needs to be done to activate the plugin on CPTs?

Everthing is checked on my Hide Bloat Settings, but can't hide one column, see capture below :

Thanks!

This is a feature request:

You have come this far - how about going to the next step and having the option to remove the HTML comments that identify Yoast SEO plugin in the source code.

Option to remove the URL at the top of the sitemap.xml

Thank you

Hello,

I was hoping that an option can be added to remove the following:

Generated by Yoast SEO, this is an XML Sitemap, meant for consumption by search engines.
You can find more information about XML sitemaps on sitemaps.org

As php/html code:

Generated by <a href="https://yoast.com/">Yoast</a> <a href="https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo/">SEO</a>, this is an XML Sitemap, meant for consumption by search engines.<br/>
				You can find more information about XML sitemaps on <a href="http://sitemaps.org">sitemaps.org</a>```

It can be found in ```wordpress-seo\css\xml-sitemap-xsl.php``` and the lines are 93-96.

Looks like a "Go Premium" sub menu has been added under the main SEO menu. I probably wouldn't have noticed it if it wasn't for the big orange star also included.

It appears Yoast has added a new column called Readability to the posts page. I modified the source in my site to get rid of it but thought you might also be interested in the modification I made. I didn't know if you had developers for the code or if anyone could so I'm posting this as an issue. It probably should be added as a separate item in the settings but I just wanted it gone.

In the page, so-clean-up-wp-seo/includes/class-so-clean-up-wp-seo.php at current line 230 under comment // all columns I replaced the line with this:
echo '.column-wpseo-score,.column-wpseo_score,.column-wpseo-score-readability,.column-wpseo-title,.column-wpseo-metadesc,.column-wpseo-focuskw{display:none;}'; // @SInCE v2.0.0 remove seo columns one by one

Then after line 235 under comment // seo score column I added this line:
echo '.column-wpseo-score-readability{display:none;}'; // @SInCE v2.0.0 remove seo columns one by one

The feature removes the Yoast SEO settings from the Admin Bar works fine, but with 2.3.5/1.7.2 still a SEO entry appears in Admin Bar, which has some links to keyword research resources, id=wp-admin-bar-wpseo-kwresearch.

Can you add removal of whole SEO entry in Admin Bar?

Thanks for the plugin.

@afragen
I noticed a problem with the current version of the plugin.
Everywhere where there are multiple settings can be selected:

• Problems/Notifications
• Content (Readability) / Keyword (SEO) Score
• Help center
• Admin columns

Although it looks like the settings are saved on the Settings page, the relevant styling rules are in fact not added to the cuws_settings options table.

Do you have any idea why/how that is possible?

Thanks for having a look at it!

Why does the plugin need to be activated network wide?

I have the Yoast plugin activated on some sites, but not all, but oddly I need to have the SO Clean up WP SEO plugin network activated. It seems strange to me.

“Remove HTML Comments” does not work on Yoast SEO Premium.

Proper way to hide this would be: https://buddydev.com/remove-this-site-is-optimized-with-the-yoast-seo-plugin-vx-y-z/

With a Settings page in place we enable the user to clean up individual items, instead of the current blanket rule.

Via Joe Campbell came the suggestion to add a setting to remove the Cornerstone articles post filter.

To continue discussing moving the options to an array as brought up in #16

Moving settings to an array simplifies for a single call to get and save options. If you want I can work on a branch for that.

Currently if we hide Admin columns such as SEO score column, Readability score column etc the data actually gets hidden but the options still shows up "Screen Options" settings. I'm guessing the columns is not unhooking the proper way. The proper way to hide those would be this: https://gist.github.com/amboutwe/18558a7e681e36c6bfe6e4fb647265ce

FR: is there any way to hide “Advanced” tab? – https://s.put.re/jPZh688X.png

Via email we received the following question:

I have a question about your Hide SEO Bloat plugin, and I wasn’t able to find an answer in the FAQ or any of the support pages.

I understand that it enables hiding a lot of the features of the Yoast SEO plugin, but does it actually help with page speed? Yoast is known for being a bit bloated and potentially contributing to slow page loading speed. Does your plugin aid in increasing page speed by disabling the features of the Yoast plugin, or does it simply hide features in the UI of WordPress?

As other people might have the same question, we decided to post it here.

The Yoast SEO plugin indeed is known for being bloated, but I am not sure whether it also contributes to slow page loading speed as most of the bloat is on the backend. Where have you heard/read that it slows down the frontend?

The Hide SEO Bloat plugin hardly disables anything. It hides stuff that Yoast adds. Therefore I rather not make any claim that it would help with page speed.

Hope this helps.

Hi Piet, like your plugin a lot... much as I like Yoast, I do not need to see him all over the place in the backend(s)... I'd rather have a drink with him at a WordCamp :-)
Maybe there is a way to make the adds disappear in his other plugins at the same time :-)

Hi, I'd just like to leave a feature request - I haven't been able to get either of these instructions working:
http://www.lubus.in/blog/wordpress-yoast-seo-hide-settings-user-profile-page-19

Ideally we would like to hide the Yoast SEO settings from the User Profiles - for our subscribers that login into the website:
Title to use for Author page
Meta description to use for Author page
and the three checkboxes.

Thanks!

The Bar Steward plugin by Lee Rickler removed the SEO stuff from the Admin Bar.

Have a look to add that in upcoming version.
