What triggers the updates to the database when updating Yoast SEO?

    Hi, amazing Yoast team!

    Recently, I updated Yoast to the latest version.

    Then, I had to backup an old database do do some tests.

    With that older database, Yoast SEO was causing an infinite never-ending page load when accessing some admin area sections (the page would never load, but also, it wouldn’t fail).

    Deactivating Yoast solved that.

    Then I realized there were some error logs about Yoast not finding some column in the database. I don’t have access to that error log now but it doesn’t really matter.

    My real question is… since I work with version control and don’t manually update the plugin on production, how can I be certain that on production Yoast will trigger a database update to add all necessary columns?

    Is that part of the code available on github, would appreciate having the chance to look at that to better understand how this is handled.

    Thanks!

  • Hey @alvarofranz,

    Thank you for using Yoast SEO and for reaching out!

    Please know that in certain versions, we have upgrade routines if we do change anything in our own indexables table. Have a look at /inc/class-upgrade.php or our migrations folder in our code.
