Almost anyone that uses Yoast SEO by Team Yoast will agree that it is the SEO plugin, but the developers are adding more and more unwanted things to the WordPress Dashboard.
The purpose of the SO Clean Up Yoast SEO is to clean up all those unwanted things.
As per the current release, the plugin removes and/or disables the following unwanted items:
- removes sidebar ads on all Yoast SEO settings pages
- removes the Yoast SEO settings from the Admin Bar
- removes updated nag
- sets plugin-intro-tour user_meta to true (means done)
- removes the keyword/description columns on edit Posts/Pages pages
- removes the overview dashboard widget that was introduced in version 2.3 of the Yoast SEO plugin
- remove GSC (Google Search Console) nag that was introduced in Yoast SEO 2.3.3
- remove yst_opengraph_image_warning nag that was added to Yoast SEO 2.1, but we never noticed it before. In the changelog it has been described as "validation error", which of course is nonsense, because the world is larger than social media. The nag manifests itself by placing thick red borders around your Featured Image as well as a red-bordered warning message when your Featured Image is smaller than 200x200 pixels.
We support this plugin exclusively through Github. Therefore, if you have any questions, need help and/or want to make a feature request, please open an issue over at Github. You can also browse through open and closed issues to find what you are looking for and perhaps even help others.
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ISSUES VIA THE WORDPRESS FORUMS
