If I de-install is my work lost?

    Unfortunately, one of my sites is injected with malicious code. If I deleted this plugin to simplify my site, will I lose the SEO info I have set up?
    When I reinstall later, will I see it all in its place?

  • yes; any settings added to the database should still be there. They won’t work, while plugin deactivated, since the plugin does on the fly rewrites, but better to scrub any malicious code/malware from site before doing anything.

    Thank you neotrope. That’s great to know.

    Instead of cleaning the site, I did a full server change, WP install, then imported only the WP export of posts, then pages, then images. After I created a new child theme, I copied my styles. For my custom php page I created a fresh one and brought in only a bit of good code. Everything else, I created new from my notes and screenshots. I did WordFence scans in between. And of course, I installed and activate Yoast SEO knowing all was well.
