If you have the YouTube code in your post excerpt, this will fix it.
<?php
function fix_content_input( $content, $vid ) {
$post = get_post( $vid['post_id'] );
if ( !empty( $post->post_excerpt ) ) {
$content = "\n" . 'http://youtube.com/v/'. $post->post_excerpt . "\n" . $content;
}
return $content;
}
add_filter( 'wpseo_video_index_content', 'fix_content_input', 10, 2 );

A cool example of what your locations post type archive page could look like
<?php
/**
* Template for displaying a map on the locations post-type archive page.
*
* @package Twenty_Twelve
* @subpackage Local SEO for WordPress Archive page template
* @author Joost de Valk
*/
get_header();

Bits of schema that require non-schema filters right now, for which I've written these functions
<?php
// For pages where you'd rather not have 20 rel=authors and in fact *do* need itemprop=author
// For instance on http://yoast.com/review/
function yoast_author_schema( $output ) {
return str_replace( 'rel="author"', 'itemprop="author"', $output );
}

The Events Calendar SEO fix

The Events Calendar SEO fix

This plugin fixes the horrible SEO mess that The Events Calendar can create.

The Events Calendar has been an SEO problem for ages, and I've reported these issues to them numerous times over the years. They have made some fixes, but it's still not enough and especially on a site that has been running TEC for a long time, the fixes are not good enough, as the problems are hidden, but not fixed.

Problems:

  • If you disable "day" or "month" views in the settings (on by default), those don't get linked, but they still work...
  • If you enable the month view cache (on by default), months without events are only noindex-ed on the first view of that page, when they're cached they no longer get noindex-ed. This plugin solves that by disabling this cache.
