 * The method _WPSEO\_Utils::get\_title\_separator_ can be called from 3rd plugin
   and probably it isn’t an issue in Yoast SEO. You should enable debug back-trace
   to easy find out from where it’s called (eg. install [xdebug PHP extension](https://xdebug.org/)
   or [Query Monitor plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/)). Similar
   issue is [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dokan-yoast-seo-error/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/dokan-yoast-seo-error/)
