Support for free WordPress plugins

There are several ways to get help for the free Yoast SEO for WordPress plugin and related free plugins.

Support page in the Yoast SEO plugin

Within the plugin, you can find the Support page under the Yoast SEO plugin menu in your WordPress backend. On the Support page, you’ll have access to frequently asked questions and additional resources: a great place to start finding solutions to your problems!

Help center

If you need help, we recommend our Yoast help center. In our help center, we provide explanations and how-to-guides for SEO, features of our products, installation manuals and much more. The help center is maintained on a daily basis to help you solve the most common questions.

Support forums for free WordPress products

All our free plugins have their own support forums at WordPress.org. These forums are looked after by very enthusiastic and knowledgeable users of that plugin. We have a Yoast SEO forum as well as a forum for free Yoast plugins.

The help beacon and live chat support

If you have a premium product, we also offer a help beacon with answers and the possibility to reach out to Support via email and live chat. You can find the help beacon in your MyYoast account; in the Help Center, the Yoast SEO Academy and in your WordPress site Yoast SEO menu under Support.

I have problems with Premium support

Please note that premium personal support does not mean we’ll set up your plugin for you. Of course, we’ll help you with all your questions about the setup and basic use of the plugin you purchased.

If you have an add-on to the Yoast SEO plugin, for instance, Yoast Video SEO for WordPress, we will not provide support for the free Yoast SEO plugin. To get support on the Yoast SEO plugin itself, you need to upgrade to Yoast SEO Premium.

Sometimes, the Need Help beacon may not show. In that case, check that all plugins and themes are up-to-date and that you do not have Javascript errors.
