Plugin messes up core wordpress features and will ruin your content

  • After a recent update removed some of the core functionality of my rather generic WordPress install, like making certain features like categories and tags disappear and be integrated in with an entirely different section of the page administration, I had to disable Yoast to get my site working again, and when I did, lots of content disappeared or was different. This plugin continues to become more and more bloated, and like a lethal parasite, begins to wrap its tendrils around and inside of CORE wordpress systems to the extent that if you want to try something else, you risk breaking your web site. I will no longer recommend this plugin to any of my clients who don’t want web site features held hostage by a third-party plugin.

  • I had a similar experience yesterday after updating to the newest version. I’ve left Yoast and will never use this plugin again.

    Hi @humankind,

    Thanks for your review.

    We can imagine how concerning it’s when some of the WordPress functionality is affected after updating our plugin. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you.

    That’s definitely unexpected behavior so we’d really want to investigate it further. Can you please create a new topic in the plugin forum and provide as much information as you can, i.e. Yoast SEO and WordPress versions, detailed description of the problem, etc.? Our support team will look into the issue and help you find a solution.

    Thanks!
