    Hello, I have been getting a problem notification on the Yoast SEO plugin dashboard which won’t go away and I don’t understand why.

    “We have detected the following issues that affect the SEO of your site.
    Yoast SEO detected you are using version 12 of Gutenberg, please update to the latest version to prevent compatibility issues.”

    However I have checked several times that I have the latest update of WordPress (6.2) and of Yoast (20.6). I even reinstalled the Gutenberg plugin which wasn’t on my website since it’s not needed anymore with the newer versions of WordPress. I made sure it’s the latest update of the plugin (15.6.2) but even now the notification is still showing.

    I saw a similar topic from 2021 but haven’t found an answer that works in my case.

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    @zoe1894 We’re sorry to hear you are experiencing this issue on your site.

    The warning that you are receiving regarding Gutenberg is certainly unexpected. As the separate Gutenberg plugin shouldn’t be necessary, we’d recommend disabling or removing that, and then to try also removing and reinstalling the Yoast SEO plugin to see whether that corrects the warning.

    We have instructions available on how to remove and reinstall the Yoast SEO plugin here.

    After removing and reinstalling the plugin, we’d also recommend clearing your site’s cache as well. If you clear your cache (server, plugin/theme, browser, or CDN such as Cloudflare) does this then resolve the issue with receiving the warning regarding Gutenberg? If you are not sure how to clear your server cache you should speak with your host provider.

    @devnihil Thank you so much for your reply.

    I have followed all your suggestions and the warning is still there. Can I mute the notification assuming that this is just a glitch and not an actual problem for my website considering that everything is up to date?

    Hello @zoe1894

    Yes, you can go ahead to mute the notification as it is erroneous. Moreover, please check your wp-content folder via FTP to confirm the Gutenberg plugin folder doesn’t exist.
