Hi there,

I am cleaning up the wp_options tables and have the following 2 tables which I am wondering if I can delete, or does your plugin use these tables?

wpseo_taxonomy_meta
wpseo_titles

I did a logn time ago use Yoast and it could be tables left over from that plugin, or are they standard wordpress tables which all SEO plugins enter data to?

Thansk for your help 🙂

Hi again!

Only Yoast SEO uses those tables — those should not impact anything on WordPress when Yoast SEO is disabled. So, you can safely delete them if you’ve concluded your migration.

Cheers 🙂

Oh forgot to ask, can I delete then all tables with the “wpseo” in them?

Hi again!

Yes, you can safely drop those as well.

Here you can find the database schema of a clean WordPress installation: https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Database_Description.

I forgot to reply to your request about SEO consultancy (about two months ago?) — as you might’ve guessed, I have little time to spend these days. I do recommend reading/bookmarking Google’s SEO Starter Guide: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/beginner/seo-starter-guide.
