Recently, we announced the rollout of Yoast AI Optimize for the Classic Editor in WordPress. We’re excited to see the positive response and engagement with this new feature.
During the initial rollout, we discovered a technical issue where unintended classes were being added to content for some users. While these added classes are harmless and do not impact the functionality or appearance of your content, they should not have been added, that’s on us.
We take this seriously, and to maintain the quality you expect, we’ve been actively working on a solution. We’re pleased to share that a fix has now been released, and the issue has been resolved. For users already affected, we are automatically cleaning up the unintended classes as part of the fix, no action is needed on your part.
As part of our commitment to delivering reliable and thoughtful features, we have also temporarily disabled the AI Optimize feature for the Classic Editor. This will give us time to reconsider our approach and develop an improved solution. We’ll keep you updated and reintroduce the feature as soon as we’re confident in its performance.
Please update your Yoast SEO plugins to the latest version where available. Should you have any concerns, feel free to contact our support team.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
