    Hello,

    Is there a way to rerun the internal link counter?

    We recently updated to https/SSL and now our URLs have changed so I wanted to rerun the tool so the database entries are all updated with https prefix.

    Thanks

    Hi Garrett,

    I’m sorry to inform you that there is no easy button to achieve this problem.
    If you have access and knowledge about database, you can remove all entries from the wp_yoast_meta table. This will reset the Internal Link Counter data.

    Please keep in mind that this will change in the future.

    We have noted this use-case in our future development roadmap to try and see if we can implement something to make this easier.

    Best regards,
    Jip

    Thanks Jip,

    Appreciated, I’ve run the following SQL to update the wp_yoast_seo_links table.
    UPDATE wp_yoast_seo_links SET url = REPLACE (url, 'https://victoriafoundation.bc.ca', 'https://victoriafoundation.bc.ca');

    Is there a benefit to resetting the internal Link Counter data over just rewriting the URLs?

    Appreciated

    Hi Garrett,

    This approach should work just fine as well!

    I was just providing the easiest technical approach.

    Glad I could help!
