Pretty helpful for basic SEO stuff. Easy to use n guides well, but sometimes feels a bit limited. Still does the job nicely for most sites. tnx Yoast 👍
I reported a documented “PHP Deprecated” warning occurring in meta-description-presenter.php on line 60. This issue (passing null to stripslashes) has been deprecated since PHP 8.1, yet it still persists in the current version of Yoast SEO.
Despite explicitly stating multiple times that my environment is running stable PHP 8.3, the support repeatedly sent canned responses about PHP 8.4 Beta and told me to “just ignore” the warnings.
It is frustrating to see such a major plugin refuse to implement a simple one-line null check for a stable, supported PHP version. If you care about clean error logs and professional technical support, be aware that your reports might be ignored with off-topic scripts.

feature works well, but a little bit expensive, i think this plugin should add some ai agent features to spice it up, like ai blog rewrite and trending topics suggestions
This plugin used to work seamlessly with most websites, really lightweight, simple and straightforawrd but I feel the more it gets updated, the worse it gets.
On top of that, even though it seems to be raking in millions in revenue, they can’t seem to dedicate a member of the support team to pass on reported bugs to the dev team. They expect you to sign up to github and explain in depth how to replicate an issue before it gets looked at and resolved, what a privilage to help them fix/improve their own product!
If you are reporting an issue with this plugin, please post in the plugin support forum instead.
