* remove yst_opengraph_image_warning nag that was added to Yoast SEO 2.1, but we never noticed it before. In the changelog it has been described as "validation error", which of course is nonsense, because the world is larger than social media. The nag manifests itself by placing thick red borders around your Featured Image as well as a red-bordered warning message when your Featured Image is smaller than 200x200 pixels.
* remove + icon from new Edit screen UI as it serves only to show an ad for the premium version of Yoast SEO
* remove wpseo-score traffic light next to Move to trash on Edit Post/Page screen
* remove SEO score algorithm recalculate nag

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Where are the Settings?

For [v2.0.0](https://github.com/senlin/so-clean-up-wp-seo/milestones/version%202.0.0) we have planned a complete rewrite of the SO Clean Up Yoast SEO plugin which includes a Settings page to enable the user to clean up individual items, instead of the current blanket rule.

For now however you can stop looking, there is none yet. Activate the plugin to clean up your WordPress dashboard.

### Can I use SO Clean Up Yoast SEO on Multisite?
### Can I use SO Hide SEO Bloat on Multisite?

You can, but until further notice you need to activate the plugin on a per-site basis ([see this Github issue](https://github.com/senlin/so-clean-up-wp-seo/issues/4))

Yes, you are correct and many people say that it is important for a plugin to have a good rating.
Fortunately there are already quite a few people that have downloaded the plugin, installed it, activated it and keep it activated, as you can see from the Active Installs in the sidebar. There must be something good that the plugin does then, right?
