    I tried to install the Yoast plugin through the normal procedure.

    But I got the messsage that the folder already exists. Through several other posts on this topic I managed to delete the wordpress-seo folder through my Plesk manager.

    Still I am not able to re-install the Yoast plugin. I am keep getting the same default meassage.

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

    This happens when the plugin is already installed, a file is missing or corrupt, or if you have renamed the wp-content folder. In this case, you need to manually install the plugin by uploading the plugin files via FTP.

    Thank you for your reply.

    I tried this before too, but for some reason I am able to see the plugin within the plugin folder inside my WordPress-page.

    Could you please give me a clear instruction on that?

    Thank you in advance

    If you are unable to see the plugin folder located at /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo this may be due to a permissions issue, so if that is the case we would recommend checking with your hosting provider. However, we would recommend first trying to perform a manual upgrade of the plugin. We have instructions on how to upgrade the plugin manually at the following link: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-can-i-update-my-free-plugin/#manual. You will need an FTP program such as FileZilla and your FTP details, which can be obtained from your host provider.
