Yoast SEO 3.1: Improved snippet editor and primary category

Today we’re releasing Yoast SEO 3.1. It’s a release we’re truly very proud of in terms of functionality but also in the process we’ve gone through. Yoast SEO 3.0 was arguably our biggest release ever, with a lot of changes that needed to happen but it also lead to issues. Yoast SEO 3.1 aims to keep the good things of 3.0 while fixing the things that most people didn’t like.
Let me explain to you in the video below or keep reading below:
Snippet editor interface
The snippet interface has been changed to bring back the normal input fields, while keeping the real time feedback that we brought in 3.0. Of course, we still have more ideas on how to improve it, but we think this is a huge step forward:

Primary category
When you select multiple categories for a post, you could never determine which category was the most important. Which also meant you could never determine which category would show in the breadcrumb. Now you can:

Admin overhaul
In the admin pages we had checkboxes that disabled functionality and checkboxes that enabled functionality. Yeah that was almost as painful as that sentence. We now have toggles, instead of checkboxes, which should reduce the ambiguity:

Improved redirects feature
In our Premium plugin, the redirects feature got a lot of love. It’s now easier to serve 410 content deleted headers and you can serve 451 headers as discussed in a previous post. We’ve also made editing redirects a much nicer experience:

If you don’t have Premium yet, go get it. It rocks :)
Integrations
Several page builder plugin authors have worked with us to make sure Yoast SEO works with all the content on a page. Notable here are both Divi and Visual Composer. We also would like to thank Marcus Forsberg for working with us on making a well working ACF integration. We’ve just released that as a separate “glue” plugin on WordPress.org to allow for faster iterations. You can find that here.
Coming to you from my living room!
In a weird turn of events, we didn’t have electricity in our office this morning, so we released Yoast SEO 3.1 from my and Marieke’s living room:

Let us know what you think!
Now, if you’re interested, go read the full changelog, then go update & go play. Please let us know what you think in the comments, we’d love to hear your feedback! I think 3.1 proves that we’re listening :)

Same here. BIG BIG issue. Impossible to update the snippet.
We use 3.1.1 yoast + WP 4.2.2
SEO Title, Slug, and Meta Descriptions still do not appear for me. I have the Premium version, too. Tried deactivating plugins and changing to a default theme , but nothing has worked so far.
Hi! Same problem here: I can not save the metadiscription, it returns to the automatic one. I´ve read in the comments above that more people has the same problem, and that it maybe has to do with a conflict with plugin “Custom Permalinks” (which I have too). Anyone has solved this problem yet, or do we have to wait for a Yoast-update?
HI thanks….
