 * I disabled all other plugins and installed only the Classic Editor plugin on 
   the latest version of WordPress, and I’m still getting this error.

 * Hi,
   This error isn’t caused by the Classic Editor plugin itself.
 * “Minified React error #200” means there’s a JavaScript error happening **before**
   the editor loads. Even if you’re using Classic Editor, WordPress still loads 
   React/Gutenberg scripts in the admin.
 * A few things to check next:
    - Temporarily switch to a **default theme** (Twenty Twenty-Four / Twenty Twenty-
      Five)
    - Clear **all caches** (browser + server + CDN, if any)
    - Check the **browser console (F12 → Console)** for the full, non-minified error
    - Make sure your PHP version is compatible with your WordPress version (PHP 
      8.0–8.2 is safest)
 * If the error still appears with only a default theme and Classic Editor active,
   please share the **console error details**, as that’s the only way to pinpoint
   the exact cause.

 * Thanks for the details — this helps a lot.
 * The key issue here is the PHP version. **PHP 8.4 and 8.5 are not supported by
   WordPress yet**, and they are known to break parts of the admin UI, including
   React/Gutenberg.
   That’s why you’re seeing the React error even with a default
   theme and only Classic Editor active.
 * Please switch PHP to **8.1 or 8.2** (8.1 is the safest choice right now), then
   clear browser cache and reload the editor.
 * If the error still happens on PHP 8.1/8.2, then we can investigate further, but
   with 8.4/8.5 this behavior is expected and unsupported.

 * Hi,
 * This error confirms a **JavaScript / Gutenberg context issue**, not a PHP or 
   Classic Editor problem.
 * `Minified React error #200` usually happens when Gutenberg tries to render a 
   portal (toolbar, modal, popover) but the required DOM or editor context is missing
   or corrupted.
 * Common causes:
    - A theme or plugin overriding `wp-element`, `react`, or `react-dom`
    - Mismatched Gutenberg / WordPress core scripts
    - Editor scripts loading without the full editor container
    - Incompatible PHP versions (8.4 / 8.5 are **not supported** yet)
 * Important notes:
    - Classic Editor does **not** prevent Gutenberg scripts from loading
    - This error happens **before** the editor UI renders
 * Recommended next steps:
    - Downgrade PHP to **8.1 or 8.2**
    - Temporarily disable **all plugins except Classic Editor**
    - Switch to a default theme (Twenty Twenty-Four / Five)
    - Hard refresh browser + clear server cache
    - Check if the error disappears on a fresh install
 * If the error still occurs on a clean setup, this points to a core Gutenberg /
   React compatibility issue.

 * Hi [@tvphuong41](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tvphuong41/)
 * Thanks for using Yoast SEO plugin and for opening the thread. Since you have 
   already run the conflict check, have you tried clearing your browser and server
   caches to see if the problem persists?
   If you are using the Plugin Load Filter
   plugin on your website, we recommend deactivating and reactivating it, as some
   customers have reported that this workaround fixes the issue.
 * We look forward to hearing from you.
