Biggest opportunity: Swap “seo” and “search engine optimization” for “settings” and “technical seo”. “seo” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “settings” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “search engine optimization” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “technical seo” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →5.8%
of downloads still active
At least 20K of 346.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median SEO plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,193 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other SEO plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “seo” and “search engine optimization” for “settings” and “technical seo”. “seo” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “settings” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “search engine optimization” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #21. “technical seo” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

Version 1.1.8 I found this error in my server’s log:AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Warning: unserialize(): Error at offset 0 of 3704 bytes in /var/www/vhosts/l***.co.uk/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/yoast-seo-settings-xml-csv-import/yoast-addon.php on line 445; I hope it will help you to investigate.

This plugin used to work great until it stopped. I’m not sure exactly when it stopped, but today when I tried to import wpseo_focuskw, wpseo_title and wpseo_desc, WP All Import’s “Import Settings into WordPress SEO by Yoast” extension no longer detects these fields. I followed another user’s advice to use the WP Import Export Lite plugin, and it did the job perfectly! I spent 3 hours trying to import YOAST fields with WP All Import’s extension, and WP Import Export Lite did it within 5 minutes of installing the plugin! I’m definitely switching to this solution from now on. This topic was modified 1 year, 9 months ago by nikkoboy.

It seems to actually break the import process. I had to get server logs to give me this info from my host. Don’t use it until repaired.

No longer works, tested with 6.2 and followed their video guide (and common sense), wasted 30 minutes. Use “WP Import Export Lite” instead, that worked first time. Did contact their support directly, replied within 2 days, they said it works OK, but it clearly does not as the yoast fields are not populated.

Works perfectly with woocommerce products. I am using it with the WP All Import Pro version across 5+ websites currently. It has saved me countless hours of customization. Great plugin!

I am looking for a solution here and found this plugin, but even though it’s reading the excel file, it’s not replacing already made SEO with new data in the xl file. Going to keep messing with it, but it’s not seeming to work, I’m using 8.0 Php. going to try backing into the older version to see if it works.
