Hello @bb15 ,
Thanks for using Yoast SEO plugin and also for reaching out to us.
We are sorry that you could not complete the SEO data optimization. Can you please try resetting our indexables in the database tables by following the steps below?
1. Install & activate the?Yoast Test Helper plugin
2. Go to Tools > Yoast Test
3. Locate the Yoast SEO section and click on the ‘Reset indexables tables & migrations’, ‘Reset Prominent words calculation’, and ‘Reset Internal link counter’ buttons. After each click, the page will reload to confirm that each reset was successful. Note: Resetting the optimization doesn’t undo any of the hard work you’ve put into the plugin, as the SEO data is also stored in WordPress’ default tables. It’ll just reset the custom Yoast tables that contain the combined data pulled from those default tables.
4. Go to Yoast SEO > Tools, and under SEO data, click the “Start SEO data optimization” button to allow Yoast to rescan your?content.
For your site’s health and safety, we recommend creating regular backups of your site and database. This is especially important before making important changes on your website.
If the issue persists, we recommend using the?Health Check & Troubleshooting?plugin. This plugin has a troubleshooting mode, which?does not affect normal visitors to your site.
1. Install and activate the above plugin.
2. Switch to the Troubleshooting mode, where non-Yoast plugins will be deactivated, and the default theme TwentyTwenty theme is activated.
3. Activate the Yoast Test Helper and repeat the same steps as before to rerun the SEO Data Optimization.
Does the process complete this time?
We look forward to hearing from you and are happy to help you.
