Newspaper plugin-conflict with Yoast Video SEO

Hello,

the Newspaper theme is not compatible with the Yoast Video SEO plugin. When installed and enabled, the RSS feed shows wrong media enhancements with a doubled domain, so services like Deezer do not update the feeds, due to 404 errors caused by that links. They look like:

<media:thumbnail url="https://www.literaturcafe.de/www.literaturcafe.de/wp-content/uploads/rebecca_gable-1-1190x448.jpg" />
<media:content url="https://www.literaturcafe.de/www.literaturcafe.de/wp-content/uploads/rebecca_gable-1-1190x448.jpg" medium="image">

Here are the results of different settings:

– Standard theme Twentytwo with Yoast SEO: Video
=> Only post with videos have the media:thumbnail tag in rss-feed (desired behavior)

– Newspaper theme with Yoast SEO: Video
=> ALL posts have the media:thumbnail tag in rss-feed with wrong double-domain

– Newspaper theme with Yoast SEO: Video DISABLED
=> NO posts have the media:thumbnail tag in rss-feed

– Newspaper theme with Yoast SEO: Video enabled and ‘disable media RSS enhancement’ option in plugin settings ticked
=> NO posts have the media:thumbnail tag in rss-feed

I reported this issue to the Yoast support, and this is their reply:

Thank you for troubleshooting this. We endeavor to be compatible with the main page builders in WordPress, like Elementor, and other important themes in the WordPress environment, but in this case, would you mind escalating this to the theme developer so they can look into this further? If they need anything from us, they can email us with the details and we’d be happy to help them troubleshoot.

Could you please fix this or get in contact with Yoast to fix this.
