    Hi, this is the strangest thing. Ok We can see that the data for Yoast is being stored in the postmeta table under _yoast_wpseo_title and _yoast_wpseo_metadesc. However, there seems to be a temporary storage location as well. I just added some garbage to the meta-description of one of our posts. Saved it, made sure we can see it on the front end, and the newly added value does not appear in the database. If its not in the database, where is it being stored before until/if it gets added to the database? Thanks

    And the reason why this is important because we have a migration process moving the ENTIRE database from dev to production and the Yoast metadata isn’t moving with the migration although the entire database is being copied. And yes, everything else is being copied over except the latest Yoast SEO updates.

    Yoast SEO stores the SEO title and meta description in the wp_postmeta table where the meta_key is _yoast_wpseo_metadesc and _yoast_wpseo_title. This only applies to custom titles and meta description and not the default ones.

    The default SEO titles and meta descriptions are stored in wp_options table where the option_name is wpseo_titles.

    There are no other temporary places where Yoast SEO stores the SEO titles and meta description.

    If Yoast SEO data isn’t migrating when transferring the database, please make sure that you’re transferring the complete database correctly.

    Closed. No further questions.
