Hi I am having a problem – I think it’s a bug, from past 2 days my website is showing this error

Previously used keyphrase: You’ve used this keyphrase 2 times before. Do not use your keyphrase more than once.

Although we haven’t used this keyphrase two times before on the website, can someone please help this fix soon?

I have tried disabling all plugins and everything and rolling back old plugins too, but this doesn’t seem to go away.

@sheerazraza Can you check what happens when you click on the link in the SEO analysis warning that says ‘you’ve used this keyphrase 2 times before’? See image here.

This should show you on what page the keyphrase is already in use.

Same issue.
I have deactivated all plugins. Still same…

@devnihil I have already done that and I know the whole process of keywords, but the problem is we have only used this and other keywords just one time on the website but still, this bug is showing up that it has been used before on all articles. This is apparently a bug.

@sheerazraza Just to clarify, on your current post you’ve used the focus keyphrase ‘Top 10 books recommended by Elon Musk’ and you’re getting the warning that you’ve used this keyphrase 2 times before. If you click on the link from that, you aren’t getting shown any results of posts or pages where you’ve used this keyphrase before?

@mikes41720 – Yes, I have used this keyword only 1 time on the entire website’s post – when I click on the Used it before link it takes me to filter area where there is only one post – not any other post. It’s a bug.
