Bulk edit Keyphrases

Hello @globeboss

Thanks for reaching out about your focus keyphrases. I tested what you described with the WP Sheet Editor, and my keyphrases were updated.

You mentioned that the wpseo focus keywords column isn’t reflecting. Do you mean in the WP Sheet Editor plugin or the Yoast SEO plugin? Please provide us with screenshots that highlight the issue you are experiencing. You can use any image-sharing service like https://pasteboard.co/, https://snag.gy/, https://imgur.com/, https://snipboard.io/, or even upload the screenshot to your website. Once you upload it to an image-sharing service, please share the link to the image here.

Thanks for the helpful screenshot, @globeboss. I noticed the same with my test site but resolved it this way:

1. Installed & activated the Transient Manager plugin and deleted the relevant transient: _transient_wpseo-statistics-totals.
2. Installed & activated the Yoast Test Helper plugin
3. Go to Tools > Yoast Test
4. Locate the Yoast SEO section and click on the ‘Reset indexables tables & migrations‘, ‘Reset Prominent words calculation‘, and ‘Reset Internal link counter‘ buttons. After each click, the page will reload to confirm that the specific reset was successful.
5. Go to Yoast SEO > Tools, and under SEO data, click the “Start SEO data optimization” button to allow Yoast to rescan your content.

Do let me know if the Yoast SEO Posts Overview in the dashboard updates for you.

Thanks for following up, @globeboss. Again, I see what you mean. The Posts overview page is updated with the keyphrases and the Yoast SEO Posts Overview in the dashboard updates superficially after I tried the steps I shared above.

By default, Yoast SEO doesn’t have a feature to edit keyphrases in bulk. And it’s in our product roadmap to introduce CSV import functionality soon.
