# Plugin seemingly not working

 * Yoast 3.3.4
    Yes, I’ve tried to delete and re-download the plugin.
 * When editing/creating a post I’m unable to add a Keyword to the post. The readability
   section is seemingly non-responsive as well. None of the normal suggestions show
   up, and the traffic light icon isn’t even on the page.
 * I’m unable to use the plugin. Chrome 51.0.2704.103 m. I’ve tried in regular browser
   mode, and incognito. Result is the same. Seemingly unresponsive, and non-functional.

 * That is indeed strange. Sometimes strange behavior may be caused by a plugin 
   or theme conflict. If you are unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we wrote
   a small guide that will walk you through the steps. You can find it here: [How To Check For Plugin Conflicts](http://kb.yoast.com/article/253-how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts)

 * For what it’s worth, this is happening to me on multiple sites, on different 
   physical servers with different themes and plugins on each.
 * I’ve also tried in browsers with zero blocking on it, just in case it was something
   on my end (which would be logical, given the circumstances.)
 * Clearly something in the latest release isn’t compatible. Is there any sort of
   logging type ability that could shed light on the issue? I don’t relish the idea
   of going over 4+ sites to find the issue.

 * Not sure if this helps anyone, but what I do to ensure my version of Yoast is
   updated properly
 * a) upload via FTP; delete old folder, upload new one (not ‘overwrite’)
    b) resave
   permalinks c) clear transients with wp-optimize d) resave pemalinks again e) 
   go to the yoast > title/meta, resave options
 * If having any other issue;
    a) disable plugin from the ‘plugins’ panel b) re-
   enable plugin from the plugins panel c) resave permalinks
 * All of these seem to keep it working across our network, for both the regular
   and pro versions.
 * Not sure if it will help any of you, but might be worth a try 🙂

 * I tried all of that tonight. No luck in getting it to work.
 * Up to version 3.4.2, and still not working. Bummer.
