 * Hey guys,
 * I am working with a client whose IT department has blocked all ActiveX controls.
   Their IT guys have suggested the Yoast is the one calling the ActiveX control
   and turning it off allows the users to access the pages to edit them but otherwise
   they just get a white screen.
 * Can anyone tell me when ActiveX became part of Yoast, as until a recent update
   this was not an issue? Also, what is it being used for?
 * Thanks,
    Thom

 * Hi Thom,
 * Yoast SEO does not use nor require ActiveX. I have just tested this on Internet
   Explorer 11.
 * 1)I have disabled ActiveX filtering (as seen [here](https://i.imgur.com/lFDMkEt.jpg))
   
   2)I edited a post, everthing works correctly (as seen [here](https://i.imgur.com/5bO006i.jpg))
