Support for free WordPress plugins

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

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.

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.

Click the Need help? button to open the help beacon. Under Answers, you’ll find the most popular help articles; you can also search for any specific problem you have. Under Ask, you can contact the support team via e-mail or enter the live chat to talk to our support team directly.

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.
