 * Optimize SEO Data hit button and it does nothing, everytime it says Optimize 
   SEO Data. Why ? Why is Yoast so broken. Seems to be that it can handle 2 languages,
   I have installed a wordpres with english and Optimize SEO Data works. I have 
   installed a wordpress in dutch and Optimize SEO Data don’t work. Please fix this.
   It is very annoying. also the notifications of yoast, when there is one, I press
   on it and it goes away, 5 minutes later it pops up again. or update while there
   is no update

 * Hi [@nordiqm78](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nordiqm78/)
 * Could you please check and confirm if you are on the latest version of WordPress
   5.9, Yoast SEO 18.0, and the latest versions of your other plugins and themes?
 * If you were to click on the button to start the SEO data optimization process,
   could you check on the details in the drop-down boxes for the ‘error details’
   and ‘response’ as it might give more insight on where the process is failing.
 * Could you attach a screenshot of what you are seeing from your end? You can use
   a website such as snipboard.io to upload a screenshot and share a link here.
 * You can learn more about it here – [https://yoast.com/help/we-couldnt-complete-the-optimization-of-your-seo-data/](https://yoast.com/help/we-couldnt-complete-the-optimization-of-your-seo-data/)

 * Hi [@nordiqm78](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nordiqm78/)
 * Would it be possible for you to provide us with a screenshot (using snipboard.
   io to upload a screenshot and share a link here) of the error message when the
   SEO data optimization process fails?
 * There should be a [drop-down arrow for both the ‘error message’ and ‘response’ in the red error message](https://yoast.com/help/we-couldnt-complete-the-optimization-of-your-seo-data/)
   that should provide more details as to why the process is failing.
 * Also, can you please try resetting our indexables in the database tables by following
   the steps below?
    1. Install & activate the [Yoast Test Helper plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/yoast-test-helper/)
   2. Go to Tools > Yoast Test 3. 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 each reset was successful. Note: Resetting the optimization doesn’t
   undo any of the hard work you’ve put into the plugin as the SEO data is also 
   stored in WordPress’ default tables. It’ll just reset the custom Yoast tables
   that contain the combined data pulled from those default tables. 4. Go to SEO
   > Tools, and under SEO data, click the “Start SEO data optimization” button to
   allow Yoast to rescan your content.
 * For your site’s health and safety, we recommend creating regular backups of your
   site and database. This is especially important before installing, updating, 
   or removing plugins.
