Yoast and noindex

Keep your eyes peeled folks. We've had three servers (20+ sites identified so far) running Wordpress with Yoast SEO all turn themselves NOINDEX on all pages Christmas Day.

Anyone else see their Google Web Console light up like a Christmas Tree? Appears there is some vulnerability. Disabling Yoast removed the code being shown on all of the pages, until we were able to identify that the "_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex" was set on ALL pages on the sites.

Merry freakin' Christmas.

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns.

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
