Hello

I think this issue should not have been closed. This behavior occurs with the free version of Yoast SEO.

The displayed messages are not even relevant, as in my case I don't see any imported product whose slug has changed. I think there should be an option in Yoast SEO to disable this feature completely (warning when slug was changed).

Redirects are not included in Yoast SEO free. This repository is for the free version. For Yoast SEO Premium, which includes redirects, please contact our Support team.

I agree. This is a problem with the free version. I changed my product slug once. Now every time I update the product I see the same warning. There is no link to dismiss this notice either, so it's a nuisance.

@nr5149 and @surfzen can you let me know step by step how I can reproduce the issue and get the notification to pop up?

Hello

The initial message of @ind88 describes how to reproduce this issue using WP All Import.

@surfzen describes a different issue, I was not able to reproduce (on my side, when I modify a product slug, Yoast SEO warning displays only the first time I hit the Update button).

Once again, the most simple solution could be to have an option in Yoast SEO to disable this feature completely (warning when slug was changed).

Any solution for now?
