 * Please help me, I am getting error each time I clicked on the “Statrt SEO data
   optimization” button. I initially installed AIOSEO and did some setup but I deactivated
   it and installed Yoast. Could this have propably be the reason I’m getting error?
   I’m so confused right now, please who has experienced this before or have an 
   idea should be help me. Thank you.

 * Hi [@kaffydevelops](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kaffydevelops/)
 * We have seen unexpected issues where the previously optimized data is invalid
   or incomplete. We’ll start with a reset of the optimization to ensure we’ve removed
   any invalid data. Let’s cover a few important things to be aware of beforehand.
 * **We recommend creating regular backups of your site and database for your site’s
   health and safety.** Backups are especially important before making substantial
   changes to your website. It provides you with a safety net if something were 
   to go wrong. Learn more about [the benefits of regular backups](https://yoast.com/help/how-to-backup-your-wordpress-site/).
 * Now, back to the issue at hand. We know that resetting the data may sound intimidating,
   but our [How to reset the Yoast indexables](https://yoast.com/help/how-to-reset-yoast-indexables/)
   guide will walk you through the process step by step. We’ve also summarized the
   steps below.
    1. Install & activate the [Yoast Test Helper plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/yoast-test-helper/)
    2. Go to WordPress dashboard > 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 the specific reset was
       successful.
    4. Go to WordPress dashboard > Yoast SEO > Tools, and under SEO data, click the“
       Start SEO data optimization” button to allow Yoast to rescan your content.
 * Please let us know if the reported issue remains after resetting the optimized
   data.

 * Thank you so much for your response, I appreciate it. It is possible that this
   will occur if I don’t have enough content on my blog, right?
