WordPress Posts Title column jumbled With Yoast SEO Fix


The issue at hand is with WordPress Posts Title column being jumbled together With Yoast SEO plugin installed. This Fix will will walk you through the steps to fix the display so that post titles display as normally.

You can also get back to seeing article titles clearly and distinguish them one from another. Making things clear again to easily edit and find your posts.

The Issue

On your WordPress website where you are in the dashboard area all posts. You will find the section where Post titles are displayed, so you can view your articles’ or post. That the column that displays the post title will be too small and jumbles all post titles up in a single column that’s too narrow.

As such the post title only displays for a few letters and then breaks result in making it impossible to read your titles and articles. It makes it also hard to edit posts as you can barely distinguish them one from the other.

What is causing this problem?

The problem itself is caused by the Yoast SEO plugin. Its not a bug but a case where too many columns are added to the All Posts area by default.

Notice below in the Image that I have Title, Author, Categories, Tags, Stats, Comments, Date and three other information displayed in their individua; columns.
