Hi everyone. I’ve got a site using Yoast right now and have been wanting to try out other SEO plugins and wanted to confirm a few things before doing anything.
Here are my questions:
* If I disable Yoast and enable a different SEO plugin, will that remove anything from the existing posts and pages that were made while Yoast was active?
* If I enable a new SEO plugin, will it overwrite anything that Yoast set up on those posts?
* Can I switch back and forth between SEO plugins without impacting anything else negatively?
* I was looking at SEO Framework which seemed to have a feature to import data from Yoast, I’m assuming that should mean the switch would be seamless. How about going back the other way around to Yoast?

Yes – the meta fields, custom page titles, etc will be removed.
*If I enable a new SEO plugin, will it overwrite anything that Yoast set up on those posts?*
No. But Yoast’s info won’t appear on the site.

All the major SEO plugins have an import feature, so it’s easy to switch between them.
