 * Yoast Plug Causing Editor Error: “The editor has encountered an unexpected error.”
 * This happens when I try edit a page/post or create a new one.
 * There are a lot of these topics open, none have a solution.
 * I’ve tried the troubleshooting steps Yoast support shared, including deactivating
   plugins and even switching the theme to WP 2021. Nothing helps.
 * The only solution is to uninstall Yoast and the problem is solved. But I love
   the plug and want to continue using it.
 * Interestingly, when I’m using Elementor, I can edit the existing page, but still
   can not create a new page.
 * Thanks,
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fyoast-plug-causing-editor-error%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * [@vbubuioc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vbubuioc/) We’re sorry to hear
   you are experiencing this issue on your site.
 * Can you please first confirm whether the issue still occurs when using a default
   theme such as [TwentyNineteen](https://wordpress.org/themes/twentynineteen/),
   and only having the Yoast SEO and the plugin active?
 * If the issue does still occur with the [TwentyNineteen](https://wordpress.org/themes/twentynineteen/)
   theme and only Yoast SEO and the plugin active, can you please check in your 
   browser console to see whether any JavaScript errors are being output while the
   issue is occurring? We have a guide on how to check for JavaScript errors using
   the browser console feature here: [https://yoast.com/help/how-to-find-javascript-errors-with-your-browsers-console/](https://yoast.com/help/how-to-find-javascript-errors-with-your-browsers-console/)`
