Hi,
We apologize for the difficulties the plugin is causing for you. We are happy to help. We would like some more information as this can help us troubleshoot and rule out or in possible issues.
1. Can you confirm you are using WordPress 5.5.1? You can check by clicking on the W in the top left and selecting About. If you need to update, please check with your host provider. Please know that if you are using an older version of WordPress Core you may experience unexpected behavior with Yoast. This guide explains more: https://yoast.com/why-we-dont-support-old-wordpress-versions/.
2. We had another recent release. Can you confirm you are using the most recent Yoast SEO, v14.9? If you update, does the issue resolve?
3. Are all your non-Yoast plugins and themes also updated?
4. If you start typing the user name, does it then appear? See image: https://pasteboard.co/Js8sjxq.jpg

Hi,
Yes, I am using WordPress 5.5.1 and Yoast SEO v14.9 and all my plugins and theme are up to date with their latest versions.
If I type user name nothing happens.
@kasareviews
Hmmm.
1. Are you using any kind of plugin to create a user name? Or is just the default settings that comes with WordPress?
2. If you check for JavaScript errors do any appear on that page in the backend? Can you describe them or take a screenshot? If you are not sure how to look for JavaScript errors please use this guide https://yoast.com/help/how-to-find-javascript-errors-with-your-browsers-console/.
You can use a tool like: https://pasteboard.co/ to share the image.

Hi,
Thank you for suggesting to check JS errors. I have found the issue. I was blocking the display of username from my functions.php via the following code:
function disable_rest_endpoints ( $endpoints ) {
if ( isset( $endpoints['/wp/v2/users'] ) ) {
unset( $endpoints['/wp/v2/users'] );
}
if ( isset( $endpoints['/wp/v2/users/(?P<id>[\d]+)'] ) ) {
unset( $endpoints['/wp/v2/users/(?P<id>[\d]+)'] );
}
return $endpoints;
}
add_filter( 'rest_endpoints', 'disable_rest_endpoints');

We are glad the issue is resolved! We will close this issue in order to keep the overview. If you have additional issue please let us know by making a new post.
Hi there – this is exactly the same problem I have, however, I don’t have any understanding of JS errors or debugging in general. Is there another way it can be fixed?
