I’ve been running yoast SEO for years now. After switching over to the newpaper theme, the titles are no longer being optimized by yoast. Looking at the code, it looks like a lot of the meta tags in the header are also being duplicated.
The following are the meta tags that are being duplicated:
<meta property=”og:type” content=”article” />
<meta property=”og:title” content=”” />
<meta property=”og:description” content=”” />
<meta property=”og:url” content=”” />
<meta property=”og:site_name” content=”” />
<meta property=”article:tag” content=”” />
<meta property=”article:tag” content=”” />
<meta property=”article:tag” content=”” />
<meta property=”article:tag” content=”” />
<meta property=”article:tag” content=”” />
<meta property=”article:tag” content=”” />
<meta property=”article:section” content=”” />
<meta property=”article:published_time” content=”” />
<meta property=”article:modified_time” content=”” />
<meta property=”og:updated_time” content=”” />
<meta property=”og:image” content=”” />
What needs to be done to get the yoast SEO plugin to work correctly with the theme?
Where do you see duplicate meta tags?
Hi,
The Yoast SEO plugin is compatible with the theme, it has always been and it is the recommended SEO plugin to be used. If you could mention what exactly is the problem and provide a link to your website, we will try to help you.
I’m seeing the duplicate metatags in the head section of the site and across all pages and posts.
I have checked on a fresh theme install using only the theme plugins and the Yoast SEO plugin. The meta tags are only displayed once in the between the head tags

Duplicate tags may suggest that you are using an additional SEO plugin or implementation. You should only use one such plugin or service to avoid confusion or problems, if that is the case.
