Support » Plugin: Yoast SEO » Becoming irritating

  • I’ve been using Yoast for a long time, and it’s just getting on my nerves now. It’s generally had good features, but the amount of “upgrade to premium” advertising is getting over the top. The features that it offers are good, but I’d prefer something simple, without so much in-your-face “upgrade to premium” notices.

    Every time you install or upgrade the plugin, you’re bombarded with notices like this:

    “Yoast SEO has been updated to version 3.2.3. Click here to find out what’s new!”

    Nothing should be new! I upgraded from 3.2.1 to 3.2.3. It’s a point release, and it shouldn’t be anything other than security and bug fixes. Yet, it’s another chance to show a YouTube (!?) video now that tells you to upgrade to premium.

  • Hi @kirkbeard,

    Sorry it’s taken us so long to get back to you. Almost 7 months have passed since your review. Are you still using our plugin? If not, we’ve made a ton of changes to Yoast SEO and would like to invite you to give the plugin a new try. In fact, we’ve added functionality to disable entire parts of the plugin, to allow you to use only what you need. Notifications and tools can be toggled on and off to your liking.

    If you want to learn more about the plugin before installing it, we feel our knowledge base is the best place to start.

    Thanks!
