Yoast Installer Wizard Values Not Persisting

    We’re having issues with both the original installation and even re-installed versions of the plugin.

    Site Info Overview:
    Site Version: WordPress 5.6
    Theme: Divi 4.7.7
    Yoast Version: 16.0.2

    Steps To Recreate:
    • After installing Yoast SEO plugin initially, use the setup wizard to set the options required to use the plugin.
    • After completing all 9 initial steps with the Setup Wizard. Use the setup Wizard again to change the options (i.e. small business -> corporation, or disable multi-author, etc.).
    • Check the database or wizard again to see the options persisted–your change will not appear, the radio button for the option previous chosen in the first setup will be persisted.
    • Uninstall plugin, DELETE records from wp_options and wp_postmeta related to wpseo, and DROPed wp_seo tables. After this purge, reinstalled plugin, and repeated steps 1-3 with the same results.
    Scoured the forums, web, stackedOverflow and WordPress support for this issue, and cannot find a resolution. Would love to see if you’ve solved this for others in the past, with a similar experience.

    Hi,

    Would it be possible for you to first update to the latest version of WordPress v5.7.1, Yoast SEO for WordPress v16.2, and the latest version of the rest of your plugins and themes?

    We tried testing out the configuration wizard by initially setting it, and then running it again and making some modifications. When we ran it the third time, it saved the changes from the second time we ran it. We’re not sure we are able to replicate what you are experiencing, as it might be a plugin or theme conflict on your site.

    Please do feel free to set the configuration wizard settings manually (without needing to go into the configuration wizard) by following the steps here — https://yoast.com/help/yoast-seo-installation-wizard/
