 * When signing into my WordPress Admin for my websites, things are not working 
   properly. When I go to edit a page it wont let me edit the Yoast SEO settings
   for that page and I can’t link nor unlink any text in the body of the page. Does
   anyone know what could be causing this?
 * Thanks!

 * try a few basic troubleshooting steps:
    – Flushing any caching plugins you might
   be running, as well as server and/or browser caches. – deactivating ALL plugins
   temporarily to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate them
   individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s). – If that does not
   resolve the issue, try switching to the unedited default Twenty Fourteen Theme
   for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue. – If
   that does not resolve the issue, try [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   via [FTP or SFTP ](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients)or whatever file management
   application your host provides. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can 
   still cause problems (because the hooks remain unless plugins completely removed
   or some plugins stick around in cached files. So by renaming the folder, you 
   break them and force them inactive).

 * I am having similar problems and nothing you mentioned seems to be working. Drop
   down menus are not working, WP SEO is not working correctly.
 * Very odd. Really need help.

 * I’m not sure why but it just started working properly out of the blue. Maybe 
   WordPress had some issues that they resolved. Thanks for the help though!
