Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP REST Yoast Meta

For each post/page/... you can find an array of meta tags in that object under yoast_meta.

For each post/page/... you can find an array of JSON LD data in that object under yoast_json_ld.

Yes, the plugin will automatically add meta tags to custom post types. Unless you have created a custom WP_REST_Controller for it and have not implemented the rest_prepare_POSTTYPE filter.

Yes you can! Use the hook wp_rest_yoast_meta/filter_yoast_meta like this: /** * Add a custom meta tag. */ function wpym_add_custom_meta_tag( $yoast_meta ) { $yoast_meta[] = array( 'property' => 'og:type', 'content' => 'article' ); return $yoast_meta; } add_filter( 'wp_rest_yoast_meta/filter_yoast_meta', 'wpym_add_custom_meta_tag', 10, 1);

Yes this plugin supports both the free and the premium version of Yoast SEO. Please keep in mind that the free version of Yoast SEO does not allow you to specify redirects, so the redirects endpoint will return an empty set.

This plugin adds a custom endpoint (/wp-rest-yoast-meta/v1/home) to retrieve the Yoast meta for the homepage.

Yes you can! Use the hook wp_rest_yoast_meta/filter_post_types like this: /** * Remove Yoast Meta from the page post type */ function wpym_remove_post_type( $post_types ) { foreach ( $post_types as $key => $post_type ) { if ( 'page' === $post_type->name ) { unset( $post_types[ $key ] ); } } return $post_types; } add_filter( 'wp_rest_yoast_meta/filter_post_types', 'wpym_remove_post_type', 10, 1 );
