 * We have been using yoast fro 3 years successfully.
 * However suddenly this morning “<yoastmark text started appearing under the alt
   input text area under the image detail. When we disable the plugin the issue 
   is solved.
 * This issue started after the latest update of Yoast.
 * I did not find any solution regarding to this.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fyoastmark-issue%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * [@fohteh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fohteh/) We weren’t able to replicate
   this issue, but can you please provide a screenshot of it, if possible? Alternately
   can you please provide the steps to reproduce what is occurring? Is the ‘<yoastmark’
   text occurring in the ATTACHMENT DETAILS section modal window?

 * 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](https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts).
   3. Check for [JavaScript errors with your console](https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-find-javascript-errors-with-your-browsers-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](https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/new)
   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](https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo/)
   and receive our Premium email support and we can help you further.

 * Hi, same for me tonight, got the “<yoastmark issue on images alt text.
    This 
   happened after updating an article. I can’t update the images alt text anymore,
   it always displays “<yoastmark. I don’t have Yoast premium.
 * Maybe it happened after I udpated the meta description of one of my articles.
   I didn’t get the error before that.

 * Hi,
 * I had the same problem. The only thing that helps is clearing the picture. The
   text also contains a malicious code, which must also be deleted. It mainly affects
   images that have been uploaded with a date or marked with a numbering like this
   e1437406143331.jpg. Who carried out this marking, I do not know but it looks 
   like Yoast Seo also.
