Yoast is not analyzing the ACF fields

Please give us a description of what happened.

I have the issue that Yoast is not analyzing the ACF fields correctly, it's like it doesn't evcen see ACF fields. It's not reporting the right word count (not even close), it also misses image alt tags, h2 and h3 headers, and some other issues.

Please describe what you expected to happen and why.

I expect Yoast to give a proper analysis of pages with ACF fields. (Including word count, image alt tags, h2 and h3 headers etcetera)

How can we reproduce this behavior?

This is just one example:
Page: [https://www.mindfulness-op-maat.nl/wp/anja/](https://www.mindfulness-op-maat.nl/wp/trauma-sensitieve-mindfulness/
This page contains over 900 words, yet Yoast gives a red bullet and reports:
“Text length: The text contains 89 words. This is far below the recommended minimum of 300 words. Add more content.”

Technical info

• WordPress version: 5.8.1
• ACF Content Analysis for Yoast SEO version: 3.0.1
• Yoast SEO version: 17.5
• ACF type: free
• ACF version: 5.10.2
• Relevant plugins in case of a bug: - (maybe Elementor Pro?)

What I tried to resolve the issue:

– turning off all plugins except Yoast and ACF content analysis / no effect
– reverting to a wordpress default theme (like twentyseventeen) / no effect
– reïnstalling both Yoast and ACF content analysis / no effect

• a.f.a.i.c.t there are no plugin conflicts

Any pointers or tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I just installed the plugin and also having issues. It's not seeing internal links at all even thought there are several.

I'm have the same issue, no external links are being detected. The plugin doesn't seem to have been updated in a good while, are you still supporting it?

It is still not fixed? Wow. People (me included) were talking about this bug back in 2017.
Yoast/wordpress-seo#7441

Maybe this plugin is just dead?

Same issue with WP 6..1, Yoast 19.9, ACF Content Analysis for Yoast SEO 3.0.1. Looks like this has not been updated in any substantial way since 2020.

Same issue here.
Any solutions since Nov. 2022?
