# Nice try…

 * The previous version of Yost SEO was reasonably fast to edit and update, but 
   this version has made it so difficult I am looking for a way to go back a version.
 * I post a lot of job listings every day and it “was” easy to get through the process
   of editing the seo settings. But now, when I click on any text field, the content
   disappears or is not selectable. That makes the process much much harder. Now
   I have to go back to the top of the page to get every little snippet of text 
   I need to make this all happy.
 * That does not make me happy.
 * If there is no way to go back a version, I will have to unplug the Yost SEO plungin.
 * I know a lot of work went into this version. But for me it is a huge step back
   in useability.
 * Thanks

 * David, try the WordPress RollBack Plugin to get back to version 2.3.5
 * I went back to the old version and everything is working smoothly. No data was
   lost

 * The problem is that sooner or later security vulnerabilities will be discovered
   in 2.3.5 and we’ll all be forced to make a switch.
 * I dislike the new version. It’s much less efficient. These are my biggest issues:
   
   You have to click a lot more if you want to make separate descriptions for different
   social networks; you can’t easily copy and paste and make edits – you have to
   go between tabs all the time. The new meta description box doesn’t display the
   character limit anymore. Editing it requires extra clicks. It’s calculating the
   reading ease test despite only a few words being in English.
 * Can anyone recommend a viable alternative to yoast?

 * All in One SEO is great.
