Yoast WordPress SEO Plugin Require Error Fix

Getting an error message along the lines of “Require… failed to open stream: No such file or directory wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/inc/wpseo-functions.php” whenever you try to activate the WordPress SEO plugin by Yoast you’ll encounter this issue (I did recently on a client website).

The solution?

Go to your wp-content > uploads folder and create a new folder called ‘wpseo’ make sure it has sufficient permissions for the plugin to do its thing, writing to and fro the folder, I use 757 permissions (some think this is a bad idea, but it was a fairly locked down server).
