    I used to have amp for my website then I recently took it down. I’m not sure if it created a copy of posts or so. Because the error below is being shown for all the posts, even new ones (created after removing AMP):
    “Previously used keyphrase: You’ve used this keyphrase 2 times before. Do not use your keyphrase more than once.”

    Hang On Life

    I don’t think there’s any plugin incompatibility as I’ve removed the AMP plugin as well optimized the DB. The AMP pages now redirect to the original pages.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi,

    AMP is not expected to make copies of your pages. We would like some more information.

    A. Can you confirm you are using the most recent Yoast SEO, v12.7.1? If you update, does the issue resolve?

    B. Can you confirm you are using WordPress 5.3.1? You can check by clicking on the W in the top left and selecting About. If you need to update, please check with your host provider. Please know that if you are using an older version of WordPress Core you may experience unexpected behavior with Yoast. This guide explains more: https://yoast.com/why-we-dont-support-old-wordpress-versions/.

    C. Are all your non-Yoast plugins and themes also updated?

    D. In that notification, if you click on the link inside of it, does it take you to a page where you can see what other posts/pages on your site have also used that keyword?

    Hi,

    Yes. I’m using the recent version of Yoast SEO and WordPress 5.3.2.
    When I click on that link it takes me to the page where it shows the posts, but the list is empty and doesn’t have any items. Because I haven’t used any duplicate key phrases.

    Hi,

    Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. This is a bug with AMP and Yoast. We apologize for the trouble you are experiencing with our plugin. A bug report is currently open with our development team for this issue.

    The workaround is to go to your AMP plugin and deselect the Stories feature.
