  • Hi @sabinooo thanks for your report and kind words ?? This error is known and should be fixed with version 14.0.1 which is available for download. Please update the plugin to see if this fixes your issue.

    Thanks for the heads-up, I confirm the site is working again with the 14.1 update.

    One minor bug report perhaps, after yoast SEO was re-enabled, I was greeted in my plugins admin page with a message that Yoast could store in a better way the SEO data, so why not, I clicked to allow it, it went on to proceed the 15k+ posts… and when I came back to this tab an hour later, the dialogue had disappeared, replaced with the initial proposal. When I clicked, again, to accept in that initial proposal, then came this error message “Something went wrong while optimizing the SEO data of your site. Please try again later.”

    Nothing big, but maybe you were interested in hearing about that error.
    Maybe a php execution timeout, my server’s pretty strict, 30 or 60 seconds I think, and I’m not raising it just to please a blog plugin. If it’s normal then, no worries. But in case it’s not normal, if you want me report more details (does the plugin store error messages in such cases, for instance), lmk!

    @sabinooo If you update to the most current version of Yoast SEO version 14.0.4, does this resolve the issue?

    Ah, about that, it’s relatively weird.

    – The two latest update mentioned that wp cli was recommended instead for blogs with 1000+ posts, so I did it that way, “wp yoast index”, and with that it worked flawlessly in the shell console, there was the progress bar and upon completion, a success message.

    – And yet, in wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpseo_dashboard, there is STILL the “NEW: Yoast SEO can now store your site’s SEO data in a smarter way!
    Don’t worry: this won’t have to be done after each update.
    Click here to speed your site now!” message.
