 * Hi
    I am having problems with Yoast SEO plugin.
 * Basically I don’t have Readability or SEO Analysis on each page or post.
 * I have tried deactivating it then reactivating it but it still doesn’t work properly.
 * I have then tried deleting the database tables and then re-installing the plugin
   but it still doesn’t work.
 * So how can I safely delete all traces of this plugin so I can start again?
 * Thanks
 * Colin

 * If you want to uninstall the plugin, you may want to refer to this article —

 * It’s possible you don’t have readability or SEO analysis on each page or post
   because you have some settings that aren’t enabled. Please check the options 
   below:
 * There is an option to turn on/off the readability and keyword analysis. Can you
   please check whether they are enabled for you? You can find this on the left 
   menu under SEO > General > Features
 * Can you please confirm that the SEO and Readability are enabled on the posts?
   You can check this by going to your WordPress dashboard, and then going to SEO
   > Search Appearance > Content Types and seeing that the Yoast SEO Meta box says“
   show”?
 * Additionally, please check that your admin hasn’t disabled the SEO and Readability
   analysis for your users. Please go to your WordPress dashboard, and then navigate
   to Users > All Users > Edit > Yoast SEO Settings and seeing that the Disable 
   SEO & Readability analysis isn’t ticked?
 * Check if Yoast SEO is ticked in Screen Options on the upper right-hand side when
   editing a post or page

 * Hi Michael
    Thanks for replying, they were disabled in the Users Profile. I wouldn’t
   have thought of looking there.
 * Many thanks again for your help. It’s now working as it should.
