Yoast SEO plugin compatible with Genesis?

[wptheme88]

Hi All, is Yoast SEO plugin compatible with Genesis?

It looks like Genesis has some built in SEO features already, just wonder if installing Yoast premium SEO plugin will create a conflict with Genesis.

Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

There's a function starting on line 137 of genesis > lib > functions > seo.php

/**
 * Detect some SEO Plugin that add constants, classes or functions.
 *
 * Applies genesis_detect_seo_plugins filter to allow third party manpulation of SEO plugin list.
 *
 * @since 1.6.0
 *
 * @uses genesis_detect_plugin() Detect active plugin by constant, class or function existence.
 *
 * @return boolean True if plugin exists or false if plugin constant, class or function not detected.
 */
function genesis_detect_seo_plugins() {

	return genesis_detect_plugin(
		// Use this filter to adjust plugin tests.
		apply_filters(
			'genesis_detect_seo_plugins',
			//* Add to this array to add new plugin checks.
			array(

				// Classes to detect.
				'classes' => array(
					'All_in_One_SEO_Pack',
					'All_in_One_SEO_Pack_p',
					'HeadSpace_Plugin',
					'Platinum_SEO_Pack',
					'wpSEO',
					'SEO_Ultimate',
				),

				// Functions to detect.
				'functions' => array(),

				// Constants to detect.
				'constants' => array( 'WPSEO_VERSION', ),
			)
		)
	);

Thanks, I am very new to this, what does this mean ? Does it mean I need to modify something on line 137 of genesis > lib > functions > seo.php before I can install Yoast seo plugin?

No action needed. Genesis will disable the Genesis SEO settings when it detects the activation of some SEO plugins.
