Does not clean up

  • When this plugin is deleted, it will leave all its database tables and options in place. I would expect a plugin to clean up when it’s deleted, user should not be required to manually delete database tables and options from wp_options, as most users simply don’t have the capabilities to do that.

    A plugin that leaves a lot of garbage in the database when it’s deleted is not a good citizen.

    Hi @msaari,

    Thanks for your review.

    As you correctly pointed out, uninstalling Yoast SEO from your website won’t delete the metadata stored in the WordPress database. This is to preserve your SEO data and plugin settings in case you decide to install and activate the plugin at a later time.

    If you don’t plan to ever use the plugin again, you’ll need to clean up the database manually or through a 3rd-party plugin. That’s why it’s highly recommended to install the minimum set of plugins you really need on your website and test them on a staging site before installing them on production.

    This is a response that i could wait from Yoast, that why you just took 1 star.

    What this guy said is a real issue, and if you want to call your self professionals you should take it very serious and do something about it.

    Not giving to the users more problems because they tried you and did not liked you.

    Instead you respond to users like ” You should see how it works in a staging site before you install ”

    Very weird from contributors of wordpress core this kind of respond.

    Hi @msaari and @mrbassist,

    We’ve discussed this issue internally and have created a feature request in our plugin repository to add an option to easily delete the plugin data from the database.

    Our developers will consider the request when planning updates.

    Thanks!
