Hi there!
Yoast SEO stopped working after migrate WordPress site from HTTP to HTTPS (installing SSL-certificate).
After the migration, a suggestion to optimize the SEO data appeared in the plugin settings. But it leads to error “Oops, something has gone wrong and we couldn’t complete the optimization of your SEO data. Please click the button again to re-start the process.”
Using the Yoast Test Helper plugin and resetting the Indexables & Migrations was unsuccessful.
Please help!

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out.

So you have migrated your site from HTTP to HTTPS. In addition, you may need to take several steps to get your site correct with Google after the migration is done:
1. Please claim and verify your HTTPS in Google. This guide explains more: https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/176793?hl=en.
2. Resubmit your sitemaps under the new HTTPS version. This guide explains more: https://support.google.com/sites/answer/100283?hl=en.
3. Delete your sitemaps under your HTTP version.

You may also find these guides on some tips and tricks for moving to HTTPs helpful: https://yoast.com/dev-blog/move-website-https-ssl/ and https://yoast.com/ask-yoast-redirecting-domain/.f you have any further questions.

If you have done all the above and still get an error while running the SEO data optimization tool, can you please check if there are Javascript errors on your browser’s console while on the error page?

Hello, Maybellyne. Thanks for you reply, but unfortunately your links are irrelevant (do not contain any useful information about my problem).

Anyway PROBLEM WAS SOLVED by myself.
I refused to manually migrate to SSL and used the Really Simple SSL plugin. To my surprise, it eliminated all the difficulties of migration and kept my WordPress site fully functional (including Yoast SEO plugin).
