    Hello,

    Can free version users just delete in Yoast db tables the following columns without crashing something?

    In wp_yoast_indexable table

    title
    breadcrumb
    post_status
    is_public
    is_protected
    has_public_posts
    number_of_pages
    canonical
    primary_focus_keyword_score
    is_cornerstone
    twitter_title
    twitter_description
    open_graph_title
    open_graph_description
    link_count
    incoming_link_count
    prominent_words_version
    created _at
    updated_at
    blog_id
    language
    region
    estimating_reading_time_minutes

    In wp_yoast_primary_term table:

    created_at
    updated_at
    blog_id

    Regards,

    Julia

    Hi @julia77

    If you delete those tables, there is definitely the potential that the Yoast SEO for WordPress plugin wouldn’t work as expected, as it relies on that data for the indexables and for the primary category.

    If you want to uninstall the plugin and ensure that all data is removed, you’ll have to remove the tables as per this article – https://yoast.com/help/how-can-i-uninstall-my-plugin/#database

    Hello @mikes41720,

    This topic is about deleting the mentioned columns in those tables, not the entire tables. Would you recommend it?

    Hi @julia77

    No, we wouldn’t recommend deleting those database tables you’ve mentioned, as the indexables data would be incomplete and wouldn’t generate as expected. You can learn more about the indexables here.

    Same for the other tables you’ve mentioned, that is being utilized for the primary category feature.
