Well, the day after uninstalling and deleting all entries of your plugin I am back to what I was on those keywords. So that was definitely related to plugin.

Also, rather than criticizing quality and content of website it would have been better to understand what plugin did wrong to loose its ranking. This would have helped you to create better plugin.

ahh, finally I get a reply from developer after a month.

The day after I install plugin, google stop indexing my site. I had to create robot.txt and then google was able to index the site, but I lost the ranking.
After multiple changes, the day I deleted Yoast entries from database my site started crawling back to original google ranking on those keywords.

I am surprised by your observation that my site is right for google penalty. Its perfectly under google guidelines of not having more than 3 google ads on a page. If that’s violation, I guess most of the websites will be blocked.

After installing the plugin, it updated Virtual robots.txt
This blocked google from indexing my site. Also, the sitemap that it was referring to was wrong and had to fix this as well.

I expect that if I install any plugin, I should get all the default setting correct until the time I customize it for better use. I can’t even test this plugin in localhost, so a big risk that went wrong.

I downloaded Version 2.7 and it solved my problem. I have another query, but will post a new one.

Yo Yo…..the solution worked and now I am able hook other functions as well. Thanks for quick help
