• If using Yoast SEO, search appearance settings for Pages may overwrite settings in the Content Group.  It may be necessary to configure these at Yoast SEO > Settings > Content types > Pages – for example, but not limited to:
  • ensuring the Meta description is either blank or uses variables,
  • ensuring Show pages in search results is enabled
• If using The SEO Framework, ensure Keyword Names do not contain hyphens
  • This does not impact data (Terms) stored in a Keyword; the Keyword Name must be free of hyphens. Underscores are accepted.
