 * I’m getting this error:
 * **WordPress Database Error [Unknown column ‘object_published_at’ in ‘field list’]**
 * on every article that I published and in my WordPress backend I Can’t see any
   article but all I see is the error.
    The problem disappears when I disable Yoast
   SEO, how can I solve this issue? The plugin has the 17.6 version and WordPress
   is updated at 5.8.2

 * Hello [@l1z0b](https://wordpress.org/support/users/l1z0b/)
 * We are sorry about the WordPress database error you received. Can you please 
   try resetting our indexables in the database tables by following the steps below?
 * 1. Install & activate the [Yoast Test Helper](https://wordpress.org/plugins/yoast-test-helper/)
   plugin
    2. Go to Tools > Yoast Test 3. Locate the Yoast SEO section and click
   on the ‘Reset indexables tables & migrations’, ‘Reset Prominent words calculation’,
   and ‘Reset Internal link counter’ buttons. After each click, the page will reload
   to confirm that each reset was successful. Note: Resetting the optimization doesn’t
   undo any of the hard work you’ve put into the plugin as the SEO data is also 
   stored in WordPress’ default tables. It’ll just reset the custom Yoast tables
   that contain the combined data pulled from those default tables. 4. Go to SEO
   > Tools, and under SEO data, click the “Start SEO data optimization” button to
   allow Yoast to rescan your content.
 * For your site’s health and safety, we recommend creating regular backups of your
   site and database. This is especially important before making important changes
   on your website. Learn more about the benefits of regular backups.

 * Will resetting the indexables in the database tables affect my website? I don’t
   want risk to lose all of my posts and pages and similar and also I don’t want
   to lose my WordPress configurations.

 * Resetting the indexables and migrations table does not affect the website negatively.
