    Like everyone else that upgrade to version 14+ I am getting the “Yoast SEO was unable to create the database tables required and as such will not function correctly.” message and cannot resolve it. DB user has all the permissions, I have tried the Yoast Test Helper and it didn’t work. There is no way this is an issue on the our end. Please fix this ASAP. I had to roll back to 13.5 to get it working.

    Hi @ecco,

    First, we want to apologize for these issues. Please know that we are working hard to fix them as soon as possible.

    1) Can you please make sure that your WordPress database user has the proper permissions? Yoast SEO requires the following permissions: ALTER, CREATE, DELETE, INDEX, INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE and DROP.

    2) Does the issue persist if you update to the latest 14.1 release?

    3)Can you please check your wp-config.php file and let us know what the DB_CHARSET and DB_COLLATE settings are?

    4) Can you please check your database and verify if the following tables were in fact created? : _yoast_indexable, _yoast_indexable_hierarchy, _yoast_migrations, _yoast_primary_term

    Please let us know if you have any further information so that we can help you get the plugin up and running as soon as possible.
