    Hello,

    I changed sites old adress from “www.mysite.com” to “mysite.com” in Settings. Relogin and all plugins work perfectly, only Yoast no. Yoast is not prepared for changing: I am Yoast I wanna dieeee….

    Plugins warning: You must install Yoast free or premium to work.
    There is a plugin at the FTP but in Plugins only Yoast not see. I tried manually upload and unpack, nothing.
    Installed Yoast test helper plugin, half working (like Reset tables or Indexes) and half buttons getting critical error.
    When going from Install plugins and upload from PC:
    Unpacking…

    Installing plugin…

    Folder already exists. /www/wwwroot/www.mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/

    Go to plugin installer

    From where getting again WWW.mysite.com??? Its Mysite.com, without WWW. Yoast test helper successful installed, any plugin update or install… I want install Yoast free: I WAANNAAA DIIIIEEEEE, not prepared for easy thing like this.

    Hi @18tommyboy

    You mentioned Yoast SEO is not catching the change of the site address. May I have a screenshot of the issue you are facing?

    Please provide us with screenshots that highlight the issue you are experiencing. You can use any image-sharing service like https://pasteboard.co/ or https://snipboard.io/, or even upload the screenshot to your own website. Once you upload it to an image-sharing service, please share the link to the image here.

    About Destination folder already exists:

    We’re sorry to hear that you receive the “destination folder already exists” error during the plugin installation process. That must have been disconcerting. Let’s get to the bottom of what’s going on here.

    The error happens when the plugin is already installed, if a file is missing or corrupt, or if you have renamed the wp-content folder or the wp-content/plugins folder. Please manually update the plugin to resolve the issue. Before we discuss manually updating, let’s cover a few important things to be aware of beforehand.

    First, Yoast SEO stores SEO data and settings in the database, so manually updating is not expected to cause any data loss.

    Second, we recommend creating regular backups of your site and database for your site’s health and safety. This is especially important before installing, updating, or removing plugins. It provides you with a safety net in case something were to go wrong. Learn more about the benefits of regular backups.

    Uninstall and Reinstall Yoast SEO

    This method will remove all plugin files and install a freshly downloaded copy. As you are removing and uploading a new copy, you will have a clean install of the plugin. Please follow the steps to uninstall the plugin before you install the latest version. You can download the latest version here.
