Yoast has updated this plugin since this video was published so it was difficult to find the same places to make changes. Great information but it was a little fast! I managed to follow along but only by stopping/starting the video and searching for the same areas in my version of the plugin.
Please update this video, lots of options are no placed anymore or at least not in the the same order.
