Status 500 after removing Yoast Seo Plugin

Thanks for reaching out here. We’re sorry to hear that you’re having trouble uninstalling our plugin.

Can you please confirm where exactly you’re seeing the status 500 after removing Yoast SEO? Is it on the browser console, on the dashboard, or on a specific page on the front end part of your website?

Please provide us with screenshots that highlight the issue you are experiencing. You can use any image-sharing service like https://pasteboard.co/, https://snag.gy/, https://imgur.com/, https://snipboard.io/, or even upload the screenshot to your own website. Once you upload it to an image sharing service, please share the link to the image here.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks for sharing the relevant screenshots here with us. We looked at the relevant website https://origoaustralia.staging.wpengine.com/ and can confirm that it’s not an issue specific to the Yoast SEO plugin.

We understand that you see the relevant error when deleting Yoast SEO but it’s completely a coincidence. We see that certain resources from your website aren’t loading and as such, you’re seeing the relevant error.

To verify once more, does the issue resolve when Yoast SEO is active on the relevant website?

Thanks for the feedback.

However, there is no correlation between uninstalling the plugin and the 500 – internal server error. Server errors (errors with a code in the 500-series) are usually described in more detail in the server error log. If you have access to your server error log, please generate the error again, note the date and time, then immediately check your server error log for any errors that occurred during that time period.

If you don’t have access to your server error log, we recommend reaching out to your web hosting provider. They may be able to check the server error logs to detect what the issue is.
