Plugin deactivated itself after updating and will not reactivate
-
So after having had some issues in getting all plugins to register that updates were availalbe and then update the various plugins including yoast SEO, the plugin then deactivated itself (no idea how) after the update and now will not reactivate. When i click activate, i’m presented with a message “Activation failed: The Yoast SEO plugin installation is incomplete. Please refer to?installation instructions“ and the instructions don’t include any reference to this type of error. The plugin has been in use for over a year so this is not a new install and it was working fine on the previous quite out of date verion.
YoastSEO version 22.1
WordPress version 6.4.3
All other plugins the latest versions.
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks for reaching out. We understand you are facing Yoast SEO installation was incomplete.
You mentioned, you have been using the plugin for more than a year. Can you kindly check with a fresh installation? To check, kindly deactivate the free version of Yoast SEO 22.1, delete the existing Yoast SEO 22.1 and then download Yoast SEO 22.1, reinstall, and activate it. It will not harm the SEO or the data since Yoast SEO stores the data in the database.
Before you proceed, I recommend creating regular backups of your site and database for your site’s health and safety. A backup is crucial before installing, updating, or removing plugins and provides you with a safety net if something were to go wrong. You can learn more on how to create backup from here.
