Sure, I'll stand by for your update. The ticket will stay open for 30 days. No need to reply right now.

HI, Yoast have reviewed the issue and are stating the issue is caused by Toolset Layouts. When they disable this plugin the page works fine with Yoast enabled. I did some of my own testing yesterday and found the page breaks if Yoast is enabled, along with WooCommerce Memberships. This should be a clue as we are seeing a permissions based issue where Admin users don't get the problem. Another interesting thing is with Yoast disabled on staging4 when I browse Phoncis I can see this at the top of the page - [WPSEO_BREADCRUMB] as per the screen shot below. This could be another clue, do you know how this is coded into the Phonics page and if its required, could this be the underlying cause?

With live we are currently working with Yoast disabled and a custom CSS to hide the breadcrumb text but we need to get Yoast enabled too.

This was the detail from Yoast

Thank you for your continued patience. We temporarily disabled all plugins and enabled one at a time until we discovered that the Toolset Layouts is what changes the layout and outputs the multiple titles. As we are not familiar with the layout plugin, we were unable to determine where the issue comes from. Please reach out to the developer of the plugin for advice on tracking down exactly what code is being used to output the title multiple times in this layout.

Check the Resource Category Archive Layout:

Okay great, that gives me more to work with. We're seeing the problem when Yoast, Layouts, and WC Memberships are all active. I'm still investigating and will update you soon.

I tried replicating this problem on my own local environment, but I wasn't able to see the same problem. Unfortunately I don't have access to the same plugin versions of Yoast SEO Premium and WC Memberships. I think it would be best for me to work with a clone of your site. Duplicator Pro does not work, and the other cloning software I have access to exceeds the maximum upload size on your staging site. I could work with a SQL dump file from the staging4 database and a backup of the plugins folder. Can you put those online somewhere and provide download links for me? Private reply fields are active here. The fields may say "Duplicator" but any download link is fine.

[lukeM-7]

If you look on the dropbox link I sent over you will be able to access the WooCommerce and Yoast plugins from there.

[Christian Cox]

Okay that's fine, please provide a link to the SQL file. I'm having trouble replicating the problem in my local environment so hopefully the database dump will provide some answers.

Hi Christian,

Here is the link to the SQL file - hidden link

Thanks

If I ignore these errors, I can import the database with Western (ISO Latin 1) encoding. Then I am able to reproduce the issue we are seeing in staging 4. I have escalated this to my 2nd tier support team for further investigation, and I'll let you know what I find out. Sometimes errors in database imports must be resolved first.

[lukeM-7]

Have 2nd line found anything? I would like to re activate Yoast SEO plugin again on live.

Hi Luke,

As Christian is currently on vacation, I will be handling this ticket.

Our second tier supporters are mentioning that this is due to caching and suggested that your remove and remake this view Resource category: Children (Level 1)

The view Resource category: Children (Level 1) uses a content template (Loop item in Resource category: Children (Level 1)) , you will need to create a new content template as well because this content template causes the issue.

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,
I am not that comfortable making that change, is this something we could do with help from you over a video call / screen share?
Or something you could fix with access?

Thanks
Luke

[Shane]

Hi Luke,

Sure. I checked the forum for the url to the page where the issue is occurring but wasn't able to find it.

Could you send the link so that I can check ?

Sorry if you may have already provided it, but sometimes its difficult to get up to speed on an issue that was previously being debugged by another supporter

Thanks,
Shane

[lukeM-7]

Hi Shane,
This is the page with the issue - hidden link
As I currently have the YostSEO plugin disabled the issue will not show. Do you have admin access to the main site?
Is there any risk to the change?

Thanks
Luke

[Shane]

Hi Luke,

Thank you for the link.

I dont have access to the live site but I checked the issue on the staging site but wasn't able to see it. As christian mentioned as well he wasn't able to replicate either.

Let me have the credentials for the live site, just to see what the issue looks like.

Thanks,
Shane
