Creating a new copy of website after first glitches due to SEO plugin

  • I’m not sure if I’m posting the topic in the right subforum. If not, please let me know where should I move it.

    Summary: I need to create a new website where I will manually move all the data from current live site, but I want to make sure that nothing, but post/page text info, is shared. Is WP network a good idea or should I just install WP locally, and replace live website with a local copy when it’s ready? The point is to replace all the code completely on each level.

    I have a new website that was fine until I installed Yoast plugin. After this the website completely disappeared from all search engines and google console stopped gathering stats.

    After a week of researching and tweaking etc etc, I managed to get it up again. However, only pages (that contain posts I search for) appear in search results. Google/Bing/etc still don’t display posts unless I search with ” PostTitle site:”

    It seems the plugin glitched and made search engines “nofollow” the site. It’s the only explanation I managed to find, but there might be something else too. Analytics is still giving virtually no data, SEO checker give error too. So now I think that it’s just easier for me to create a new site and replace the old one, than to spend hours fixing it.

    Please advise.

    I found wordpress.com/sites

    Please help me understand if this is the so called “wordpress network” and what the new site will share with the old?
