    We wanted to replace our static http://www.xml-sitemaps.com by installing Yoast SEO and using its default sitemap. But, when we install Yoast SEO, it's overwriting the meta titles and descriptions that already exist. Appears from research that this is a quirk with Genesis. Does anyone have a fix or workaround? #helpandrea

    The Yoast SEO plugin is designed to override the Genesis SEO settings. Joost de Valk runs his sites on Genesis, so I wouldn't say this is a quirk, more of a protection against having both fields available and future depreciation of the Genesis SEO function 🙂
    But all of your hard work and data in Genesis SEO settings is not lost. You can use the SEO Data Transporter plugin by Nathan Rice to export the Genesis SEO settings into the Yoast SEO plugin.
