    I was working on the update of Yoast WordPress SEO to the current version when I experienced a Fatal Error.

    Looking at my logs I see the following trace :

    PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Class 'Yoast_Notifications' not found in /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/wp-seo-main.php:455\nStack trace:\n#0 /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/wp-seo.php(50): require_once()\n#1 /wp-admin/includes/plugin.php(2286): include_once('/usr/home/data/...')\n#2 /wp-admin/includes/plugin.php(668): plugin_sandbox_scrape('wordpress-seo/w...')\n#3 /wp-admin/plugins.php(58): activate_plugin('wordpress-seo/w...', 'https://www.exa...', false)\n#4 {main}\n  thrown in /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/wp-seo-main.php on line 455, referer: https://www.example.com/wp-admin/plugins.php?plugin=wordpress-seo%2Fwp-seo.php

    I try to update multiple time, with a fresh archive each time, but the problem is still there. I tried deactivating the plugin, deleting the folder, it didn’t solve the issue.

    Any ideas ?

    Yoast SEO version : 17.3
    Wordpress version : 5.8

    We are sorry to hear that you’re having a fatal error after updating Yoast SEO to the latest version.

    The error you have shared with us showing the Yoast_Notifications class is missing from Yoast SEO plugin files and as such, you’re seeing the relevant fatal error.

    This issue typically occurs when the plugin update couldn’t complete due to a server or connection hiccup. As a result of that, it causes missing files in the relevant plugin, so you see the related error. Therefore, we recommend you, please manually update the plugin to the latest version using the following steps.

    Please note that by manually performing the relevant plugin update, you won’t lose any SEO data that you put into the plugin before. All the data will remain the same as expected.

    The fact is I already install and update my plugins using FTP.

    But redownloading and reinstalling it with a better connection solved the problem.
