Title: Current Yoast version breaks editor Last modified: August 15, 2023 --- # Current Yoast version breaks editor * Resolved [grandadmiral12345](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grandadmiral12345/) * (@grandadmiral12345) * [2 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/current-yoast-version-breaks-editor/) * Opening ticket as requested from the comment here. * Yoast is causing issues on my website as well (seen here). It causes content in the editor to not be seen, but can be seen if I click the preview permalink. It also causes the buttons for my page builder (WP Bakery) to disappear in the editor mode. I can only access from the site itself using the frontend editor. It happened after updating to the most current version (20.13). Wish I could find the old version until it’s resolved. Until then, I have to de-activate it. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcurrent-yoast-version-breaks-editor%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Plugin Support [Maybellyne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maybellyne/) * (@maybellyne) * [2 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/current-yoast-version-breaks-editor/#post-16974277) * Hello [@grandadmiral12345](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grandadmiral12345/) * Please provide us with screenshots that highlight the issue you are experiencing.

As of now it looks like the issue went away. It could have been another plugin that caused this, but I can’t be certain. * I have the same setup/combination on 3 other wordpress sites, but had no issues there. Just another one of those mysteries…….. * Plugin Support [Maybellyne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maybellyne/) * (@maybellyne) * [2 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/current-yoast-version-breaks-editor/#post-16980500) * Hello [@grandadmiral12345](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grandadmiral12345/) * Thanks for the very helpful screenshots. I see that you are experiencing a blank meta box and not using the default WordPress content editor. Though you have rolled back to v20.12, and everything works fine now, we recommend using the latest version to avoid missing out on bug fixes and product enhancements. * As mentioned by [@downrangemedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/downrangemedia/), there could have been a plugin conflict. Also, you should ensure that WordPress and other plugins and themes are updated. * Often, we see problems occur in combination with another plugin or theme. The fastest way to rule out any conflict is to **deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme** like [Twenty Twenty-Two](https://wordpress.org/themes/twentytwentytwo/). * Please test this on your development or staging site if you have one. If not, we recommend using the [Health Check & Troubleshooting](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/) plugin. This plugin has a troubleshooting mode, which **does not affect normal visitors to your site**. * If you’re unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we’d like to point you to a step-by-step guide that will walk you through the process: [How to check for plugin conflicts](https://yoast.com/help/how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts/). * Thread Starter [grandadmiral12345](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grandadmiral12345/) * (@grandadmiral12345) * [2 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/current-yoast-version-breaks-editor/#post-16980726) * Hi [@maybellyne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maybellyne/). I’ve pretty much tried all of this and the problem only occurs with the Yoast plugin… on both of my two sites. There’s apparently something up with multiple people having issues with 20.13. If your response is the final action with this other than taking into account what others are saying about this version, then I guess my next step would be to find a new SEO plugin as Yoast 20.13 is not being reinstalled. - This reply was modified 2 years, 9 months ago by [grandadmiral12345](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grandadmiral12345/). * Plugin Support [Maybellyne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maybellyne/) * (@maybellyne) * [2 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/current-yoast-version-breaks-editor/#post-16989465) * Can you share a screenshot of the browser console?
