Since Yoast refuses to cut back on the the upsell spam, here's a snippet to remove all the "You trashed a thing! Buy our premium plugin!" notices that they clutter up the admin dashbaord with. Also recommend looking into the Hide SEO Bloat plugin which basically exists solely to remove all the crap that Yoast adds all over your site. Anyway, put this code in your functions.php (or use something like Code Snippets):
/**
* Unbind Yoast's awful constant upsell notifications whenever you trash/delete anything
*
* @ref: https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/blob/0742e9b6ba4c0d6ae9d65223267a106b92a6a4a1/admin/watchers/class-slug-change-watcher.php#L18
* @see: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/352509
*/
function unbind_yoast_slug_change_watchers()
{
$priority = 10;
$actions_methods = [
'wp_trash_post' => 'detect_post_trash',
'before_delete_post' => 'detect_post_delete',
'delete_term_taxonomy' => 'detect_term_delete',
];
global $wp_filter;
foreach ($actions_methods as $action => $method)
{
if (isset($wp_filter[$action]->callbacks[$priority]) and ( ! empty($wp_filter[$action]->callbacks[$priority])))
{
$wp_filter[$action]->callbacks[$priority] = array_filter($wp_filter[$action]->callbacks[$priority], function($v, $k) use ($method) {
return (stripos($k, $method) === false);
}, ARRAY_FILTER_USE_BOTH );
}
}
}
add_action('plugins_loaded', 'unbind_yoast_slug_change_watchers', 20);
Hopefully this makes things a little nicer for anyone using it.
@primathon : thanks for sharing! For me the best solution was to switch to SEOPress. :)

I'd suggest to don't get the
Yoast_Notification_Center
instance twice and to check whether the class exists.
