 * Why is the encoding of the wp_yoast_seo_links table different from other tables?
   See if I have the correct coding database.

 * If you like you can convert encoding from Operations menu of PHPMyAdmin

 * Yoast did make some changes to the database in terms of how the plugin is storing
   data. It could be you need to update it. If you use the Yoast Helper Tool does
   the issue resolve? Please try the steps below:
    – i. Install & activate the Yoast
   Test Helper plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/yoast-test-helper/ – ii. Go
   to Tools -> Yoast Test – iii. Locate the Yoast SEO section and select the “Reset
   indexables tables & migrations” button – iv. Click the “SEO Data” button in the
   SEO->Tools section.

 * I install the latest version of your plugin on the new site and the seo links
   table encoding is not generated correctly. I was exhausted with your plugin. 
   It feels like your programmers are bad. You are introducing new features that
   don’t work as expected. If you don’t change your code quality policy, you will
   lose customers. You have made a Frankenstein monster out of a plugin. It seems
   that you yourself are confused and do not understand what you are doing.

 * Hi,
 * We’re sorry to hear that you’re having issues with the latest version of Yoast
   SEO for WordPress v15.7. We’ve introduced the SEO data optimization feature (
   which can be found under SEO > Tools) that combines several helpful features 
   in the Yoast SEO plugin (text link counter, internal linking suggestions (premium),
   indexables). You are only expected to run this feature once, and then the data
   will be stored in the appropriate tables in your database.
 * Were you able to reset the data and re-run the SEO data optimization by using
   the [Yoast Test Helper plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/yoast-test-helper/)?
 * If you continue to encounter any issues, could you perhaps provide us with specific
   information regarding the encoding or what it is with how the data is stored 
   that is causing a problem for you, so we can work together to help resolve it.

   require any further assistance please create a new issue.
