Confirming proper reinstallation

    Hi,

    I had an existing website with regular Yoast installed. However, I had a programmer rebuild the site and he installed a GPL version of Yoast and Yoast Premium without my permission. Once realizing what he did, I deleted them and reinstalled the official Yoast. It appears that all of my meta descriptions etc. remained, but I am worried that maybe the database has something messed up from the other GPL version.

    I looked over the database and compared it to another site I have. The only difference I see is that this rebuilt website does not have the yoast_seo_meta table. Is that a necessary table? Or is that something to do with Yoast Premium since I subscribe on my other site? Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hi @beantown123

    The wp_yoast_seo_meta table was used for the text link counter but this table was already deprecated in an earlier version of Yoast SEO.

    We recommend that as long as you’ve completed the SEO data optimization process under the WP admin dashboard > SEO (sidebar) > Tools, then that should all be fine in terms of the data stored for the plugin to function properly.
