Yoast asking to optimize data because of change to permalink structure

    Hi there,

    I’m using the latest version of Yoast. I got a notification in WP that Yoast recommended running data optimization, because it detected a change to my permalink structure.

    I haven’t changed my permalinks.

    I did add 1 new category yesterday and re-assign some posts to that. Not sure if that could trigger it.

    Anyway, the data optimization went fine, no errors/issues. Just thought the initial message was odd, and thought I’d write here to report what I saw.

    Hello,

    Thanks for sharing.

    Since Yoast SEO v15.1, the plugin can now detect the home URL or permalink structure changes. And since it’s a significant change, Yoast SEO needs to run the SEO data optimization again.

    Since you have re-run the SEO data optimization and it completed successfully, you are in order and there is nothing to worry about.

    Thanks!

    Right, I guess my question was: I didn’t think I had changed my permalink structure. Nothing has changed. That was my concern.

    Thanks for the reply, though.

    @ronnie55 The changes you implemented normally wouldn’t necessitate a change to the permalink structure typically. However, sometimes other plugins or themes that have features that have the feature or ability to alter a permalink of a page can sometimes trigger a false positive in Yoast SEO. It sounds like that may have been the case.
