# Problem about Readability analysis

 * For the Readability analysis, I can see the score **inside the editor of a single
   post** (in the Publish section to the right and in the part for Yoast SEO at 
   the bottom) or **in the Posts page** where all the posts are listed. And my problem
   is that, the Readability score of a certain post is somehow different in these
   two places.
 * At first, two blog posts got the OK score (orange) inside the editor, but the
   Good score (green) in the Posts page. Trust me, I don’t know why.
    And later,
   when I edited the posts, they got the Good score inside the editor, but the OK
   one in the Posts page!!!
 * Could anyone tell me what happened?

 * Hi,
 * That sounds like a plugin or theme conflict as something may be affecting the
   JavaScript Yoast uses to show the colored dots. Can you try and gather as much
   information for us as possible? Please perform the following:
 * 1. Make sure the issue doesn’t persist when Yoast SEO is disabled.
    2. Check 
   for conflicts. 3. Check for JavaScript errors with your console.
 * If you find any JavaScript errors related to Yoast SEO or if there is a conflict
   with a plugin or a theme, you can create a new GitHub issue for our developers.
   Please report the issue to a third party developer as well.
 * If you didn’t find any conflicts or errors, we think the issue is specific to
   your site. We’d need to investigate further but are unable to do so on these 
   forums. You can purchase Yoast SEO Premium and receive our Premium email support
   and we can help you further.

 * Hi,
 * Thanks so much for your reply. The problem has developed so weirdly but I think
   it somewhat makes sense. As I edited the posts and bettered them in terms of 
   readability, they both got the readability green dot in the Posts page (of course
   they still got the same green dots inside the editors).
 * So I started to think that this can be a kind of “nearly green”. Say, a post 
   scores a point that is _nearly enough_ to get a green dot so it’s labeled green
   here and orange there? Does it make sense?

 * The readability score should show the same colour on both the all posts page 
   and the editor screen. Were you able to perform a conflict check? If so, what
   were the results?
 * On the other hand, are you using _Visual Composer_ on your website? We ask as
   we have an open bug report related to the issue you’re experiencing which only
   happens when _Visual Composer_ is active: [https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/5809](https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/5809)
