 * With the update of WP 5.5.2 my blog was put into development mode. I never had
   this before. The next point release corrected that.
 * With the Yoast SEO update to 15.2.1 I am getting this notification
 * “Because of a change in your home URL setting, some of your SEO data needs to
   be reprocessed.
    We estimate this will take a couple of minutes.
 * Start SEO data optimization”
 * Once I did the optimization I noticed that in posts, screen options, I still 
   have an option space to check received internal links.
 * My sister that didnt glitch on WP update and doesn’t have that check box anymore.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdb-index-optimization%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello [@marilyn1998](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marilyn1998/),
 * Thanks for reaching out.
 * You mentioned that after performing the SEO Data Optimization, you noticed that
   in posts, screen options, you have an option to check received internal links.
   We are not entirely sure what that is.
 * It will be helpful if you can send us screenshots of the issue so that we can
   understand it better.

 * Thank you. There is no way provided to add screen shots. How do you want me to
   share them. By email somewhere? Or can you add a way here to send 2 screenshots?
   
   Thx

   an image in your reply by uploading a screenshot using a tool like [https://pasteboard.co/](https://pasteboard.co/)
   or something similar, and then pasting the link to the image within your reply.

 * [@marilyn1998](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marilyn1998/) Thanks for your
   reply. We aren’t sure why you wouldn’t see the same choices in the screen options
   for both sites. Can you please confirm whether you see the** ‘Start SEO data 
   optimization’ **button when you go to SEO>Tools? Or does this show as **‘SEO 
   data optimization complete’**?

 * It is showing a green bar saying optimization complete.

 * Hi Marilyn!
 * On the site where you’re not seeing that option, can you please perform the following?
    1. Disable the “Text link counter” feature under SEO > General > Features tab.
    2. Clear your cache from your caching plugins, server, CDN like Cloudflare, and
       your browser. If you are not sure how to clear the cache from your caching plugin,
       please contact the plugin developer. If you’d like to clear the cache from your
       server, please speak to your host provider. To clear the cache from your browser,
       use [this guide](https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-clear-my-browsers-cache/).
    3. Enable the “Text link counter” feature again.
 * Does it resolve the issue?
 * If not, can you please check if there are Javascript errors on your browser’s
   console? You may follow the steps [here](https://yoast.com/help/how-to-find-javascript-errors-with-your-browsers-console/).

 * Thank you so much!!! That fixed everything. I am happy to have them both sharing
   the same information. You have been great. Enjoy your day!
