No action for cron wpseo-reindex-links

    In WP Crontrol I see the cron wpseo-reinidex-links has no action.

    Can I safely delete it?

    When this came up last year @amboutwe refered to the source code to say it calculated the number of internal links.

    Today the cron’s name appears only in a class deprecated as of version 15.1 and ignored by code coverage.

    
/**
 * Link_Count_Notification_Integration class.
 *
 * @deprecated 15.1
 * @codeCoverageIgnore
 */
class Link_Count_Notification_Integration implements Integration_Interface {

	/**
	 * The ID of the link indexing notification.
	 *
	 * @var string
	 */
	const NOTIFICATION_ID = 'wpseo-reindex-links';

  • Hi @iainelder,

    We’re not aware of any negative effects of leaving it, but ‘wpseo-reindex-links’ is no longer used in the latest version of Yoast SEO, so you can safely delete it. You’re always welcome to test this on a staging site, if you’re not sure.

    Thanks for confirming.

    I’ve deleted it.

    @iainelder Hello there,
    I’m facing a similar issue, did you remove this cron and did it work for you?
    Willing to do the same if it works successfully.
    Thank you!

    @farhan25 I think the cron actions have been changed in a recent version of the plugin.

    I have 4 cron events for the plugin in total, but these two have no action listed:

    wpseo-reindex-links
    wpseo_home_url_check

    However, it looks like they’ve been replaced by these two, which do have actions listed:

    wpseo-reindex
    wpseo_permalink_structure_check

    Maybe @priscillamc can confirm.

    Not that it is too inconvenient for manual removal, but I am curious as to why when Plugin updates come out, that deprecated cron action events are not removed by the updates?

    Is it not possible for removal to be a part of the update process?
