This WordPress plugin is built to extend and remove the noob things in the WordPress SEO (WPSEO / Yoast SEO) plugin for you or clients who don’t care and just want a good plain technical SEO plugin.
It currently disables the following
<ul>
<li>“All SEO Scores” dropdown select on posts & pages listings</li>
<li>SEO dot, SEO Title, Meta Desc, & Focus KW columns on posts & pages listings</li>
<li>“SEO: (dot) Check” in publish metabox</li>
<li>“Page Analysis” tab content in posts metabox</li>
</ul>
What else I want it to do later if ever possible
<ul>
<li>“SEO” dropdown from admin bar. doesn’t annoy enough to fix</li>
<li>“Focus Keyword” input section and entire tab in the post/page screen metabox</li>
</ul>
All respect to the Yoast SEO crew (joostdevalk & team) still. A while ago I opened a proposal in their github repo to address this: <a href="https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/869" rel="nofollow ugc">WP SEO Issue #869</a> and later a <a href="https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/pull/2498" rel="nofollow ugc">Pull Request #2498</a> to try and address the post admin box content.
Feel free to comment in there that you want this implemented as an option or a more advanced filter – But until then here’s a plugin to do it.
If you think you’d like to contribute <a href="https://github.com/chuckreynolds/wpseo-nuke-noob-stuff" rel="nofollow ugc">on Github</a>, that’d be rad.
