 * Hi.
    I’ve just installed your great plugin today. The notification says something
   like “we recommend you use setup master to configure yoast Seo” (i’m using russian
   version, it says “мы рекомендуем вам запустить мастера настройки для того, чтобы
   сконфигурировать Yoast SEO”)ю
 * But when I hit that link, I’m getting this thing on top of the page
 * [redacted possibly malicious link]
 * I just don’t know, what that means. If I press it, i’m going back to dashboard.
 * Could you please tell me, what’s happening?

 * Hello,
 * Do you mean to say that you are unable to start the Yoast SEO configuration wizard?
   If so, you can follow the steps here to troubleshoot or possibly perform the 
   configuration wizard manually — [https://yoast.com/help/yoast-seo-installation-wizard/](https://yoast.com/help/yoast-seo-installation-wizard/)

 * Thanks for your respond.
    I did all those steps before I started this topic,)
   After step 6 I get that un-understandable message.
 * Sorry, the link to the screenshot was redacted. Reuploaded it

 * Also even after I hit that message, I’m still getting the notification in my 
   website:
 * “We found out, that you haven’t finished the setup, so we recommend you start
   the setup master to configure Yoast SEO (Мы обнаружили что вы ещё не закончили
   настройку, поэтому мы рекомендуем вам запустить мастера настройки для того, чтобы
   сконфигурировать Yoast SEO)
 * When I hit the link there, I’m getting un-understandable message from above.

 * Thanks for sharing the relevant screenshot. The blank configuration wizard issue
   typically occurs due to either a JavaScript conflict or when running an outdated
   version of WordPress or Yoast SEO. Therefore, can you please confirm whether 
   you’re running the latest version of WordPress and Yoast SEO?
 * If yes and the issue persists, we’d like you to please perform a conflict check.
   This will help us narrow down the exact cause and determine what the next steps
   are while saving you time.
