    Hello,
    A while back I uninstalled Yoast SEO (free version) plugin and tried to re-install it again but couldn't as it said the following, "Installation failed: Destination folder already exists." I figured maybe it was because of auto-updates but been trying for a while now and no luck. I contacted Yahoo (webhost/server) and they weren't helpful. According to Yoast SEO plugin, it's compatible with my settings, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

    Any thoughts on what I need to do next? - Thanks in advance!

    If the folder already exists, then you do not need to install it again. Did you look in Plugins to see if it is there?

    If you do not see it, then you will need to log into the hosting file manager and remove the existing fder5. The install again.

    Need help with customization or troubleshooting? Reach out to me.

    Hi Anita,
    Thanks for your message. I'm trying to look into my file manager but can't seem the find a Yoast folder in the plugin folder and elsewhere. Is there a way to find it?

    Look for WP SEO. I don't think the folder is labeled Yoast.
