Installing the Yoast SEO Extension

Install the Yoast SEO extension in your WordPress site to register SportsPress data as Yoast replacement variables for use in title and meta description templates. Confirm the following before activating.

Requirements

  • WordPress with Yoast SEO installed and active

  • SportsPress 2.4 or newer (free or Pro)

  • The yoast-seo-for-sportspress.zip file from your ThemeBoy account

Steps

  1. Confirm Yoast SEO is active under Plugins.

  2. Confirm SportsPress is active.

  3. Go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.

  4. Upload yoast-seo-for-sportspress.zip.

  5. Click Install Now, then Activate.

The plugin uses TGM Plugin Activation to verify both dependencies. If either is missing, an admin notice will prompt you to install the missing plugin before the integration registers its replacements.

Verification

  1. Go to SEO → Search Appearance → Content Types.

  2. Switch to the Events tab (or any SportsPress post type).

  3. Click the Insert variable dropdown beside the title or description template.

  4. You should see SportsPress-specific variables (e.g. %%sp_teams%%, %%league%%) listed alongside the standard Yoast variables.
