Hello,
I’m having trouble installing Yoast SEO, and would greatly appreciate some assistance.
Bit of a complicated story: I was running Yoast succesfully on WP. Then a Godaddy support agent said I should reinstall WP on Plesk as I had switched to using Plesk without doing so (I couldn’t upload new pictures). They neglected to suggest following a guide, so I didn’t take any backups, and as a result I lost all content from my site (although I found a previous version on archive.org so I have my pages & some posts).
Now I get a 500 Internal server error when I try to install Yoast. I have deactivated all other plugins, and am using a standard theme (2020) with only two other standard themes installed.
WP version: 5.4
PHP: 7.3.16
Here is the full error message I receive:
Installation failed: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd”> 500 – Internal server error. <!– body{margin:0;font-size:.7em;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;background:#EEEEEE;} fieldset{padding:0 15px 10px 15px;} h1{font-size:2.4em;margin:0;color:#FFF;} h2{font-size:1.7em;margin:0;color:#CC0000;} h3{font-size:1.2em;margin:10px 0 0 0;color:#000000;} #header{width:96%;margin:0 0 0 0;padding:6px 2% 6px 2%;font-family:”trebuchet MS”, Verdana, sans-serif;color:#FFF; background-color:#555555;} #content{margin:0 0 0 2%;position:relative;} .content-container{background:#FFF;width:96%;margin-top:8px;padding:10px;position:relative;} –> Server Error 500 – Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.
Many thanks in advance for any guidance.
