Many WordPress users have the Yoast SEO for WordPress plugin installed on ... Fix the Focus Keyword is Not in First Paragraph Error ... and they haven't added automatically the way they are when using the visual editor. ... Unfortunately, the error will continue if the paragraph tag has any styling in it.

As Sanjaytech is saying, you need to make sure there is nothing in between the first sentence and the keyword. If you're editing in the Visual mode, you will want to switch over to Text/HTML.

Once you have done so chances are there will be a DIV, or something to the effect that is obstructing your first sentence from literally being first. Another thing that will fix it sometimes is simply added the paragraph tags <p>first sentence</p>.

In very rare occasions, Yoast has permanently glitched on me, in which case I just create a new blog, if it's not to ahead in the game of writing the article.

Follow the solution given by me and sanjaytech.

Hi

Can I ask what template you are using for your theme? I have has the same issues and also remarks about H1 tags. I contacted Yoast support. I use Avada theme and basically, Yoast says on these issues "Yoast is not compatible with every page builder plugin/theme like Avada" 

I asked if they could get their heads together with Avada to solve these issues as Avada is a big player in the WordPress market like Avada, there seems no will to do so.

If the suggestions that the other members made do not help you, you should keep in mind that Yoast may be bugged on your page. I had the same issue with one of my web pages earlier and I fixed it by simply reinstalling Yoast. Hope this helps.

Use Yoast to add titles, meta description and canonical URLs but as far as using Yoast to optimize your page for SEO, it over-optimizes. Ignore their suggestions and use your own smart insight.
