YOAST SEO plugin makes WordPress RSS disappearing

Here is the issue:

I use the latest version 3.8 of wordpress. I have an RSS http://www.mywebsite.com/feed

Sometimes, without any notice, this RSS just disappear and shows a 404 not found page instead.

I found that when i launch the file http://www.mywebsite.com/wp-admin/options-permalink.php in the browwser, that fixes the issue and the RSS content shows up correctly again.

After getting inside the code of http://www.mywebsite.com/wp-admin/options-permalink.php, i found that there is mention to various plugins including YOAST SEO for WP.

So, the next time my RSS was replaced by a 404 not found page, i did not launch the file http://www.mywebsite.com/wp-admin/options-permalink.php as usual but went and disabled YOAST SEO plugin from my plugins area. I made reload to the RSS page and the content showed up correctly.

We can see here, that actually, deactivating this plugin was the fix to see the RSS working again.

The question is why? Can you investigate further this issue and give a fix? I let you imagine the lost with a website without an RSS as you can’t fed your content to No social media without a feed/rss.

It’s not also possible to be stuck at your PC to watch the RSS and to launch http://www.mywebsite.com/wp-admin/options-permalink.php in the browser every time the RSS is gone. Especially, it can be gone in few minutes as in few hours!
