Yoast CMB2 Field Analysis WP Plugin

About this plugin

This plugin adds in a js based method of recalculating Yoast SEO's content scores when updating page content, specifically custom meta fields added via the CMB2 library.

A js method is the required due to the php filters that used to allow for recalculating being removed from the plugin towards the end of 2015.

This plugin will work with either the CMB2 WordPress plugin or the library files if used directly within your WordPress theme.

Installing

To install, simply download a .zip version of this repository and upload to your WordPress instance via the Admin screens, Plugins -> Add New -> Upload Plugin.

Usage

In order for your CMB2 field content to be calculated in the SEO score, ensure that the field name (id field for group attributes) contains _cmb2_. It is a good idea to use this as part of a prefixing structure for your CMB2 fields but it can also be used in a number of different ways:

_cmb2_hero_banner_text
_my_theme_cmb2_hero_banner_text (recommended)
_my_theme_hero_banner_cmb2_

WordPress and Yoast SEO dependencies

Currently, this plugin has been tested up to WordPress 4.6 and Yoast SEO 3.5

This plugin will be updated and retested with new versions of both WordPress and the Yoast SEO plugin, with the version numbers above updated to reflect this.
