Beskrywing
Are you using WordPress for a headless set-up, using the WP REST API? And would you like to use the Yoast SEO plugin just like you would for any other project? This plugin adds the meta tags generated by the Yoast SEO plugin to the WP REST API output, allowing your headless set-up to implement them. Also when you are using Yoast SEO Premium you have the option to retrieve redirects throught the API: this plugin adds a custom endpoint (/wp-rest-yoast-meta/v1/redirects
) to provide those redirects in a JSON format. Since Yoast 11.0 JSON LD Schema.org data is also supported and is now also available through the WP REST API when using this plugin.
Installation from within WordPress
- Visit ‘Plugins > Add New’ (or ‘My Sites > Network Admin > Plugins > Add New’ if you are on a multisite installation).
- Search for ‘WP REST Yoast Meta’.
- Activate the WP REST Yoast Meta plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
Installation manually
- Upload the
wp-rest-yoast-meta
folder to the/wp-content/plugins/
directory. - Activate the WP REST Yoast Meta plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

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

I have installed the plugin, where can I find the Yoast JSON LD Schema.org data?
-
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.
-
I have set the homepage to display my latest posts, how do I get the Yoast meta for the homepage?
-
This plugin adds a custom endpoint (
/wp-rest-yoast-meta/v1/home
) to retrieve the Yoast meta for the homepage. -
I don’t want the Yoast Meta to be applied to post type X, can I stop it from being added?
-
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 );
