Title: Yoasts not working; Causing Text Editor Issues Last modified: November 27, 2019 --- # Yoasts not working; Causing Text Editor Issues * Resolved [chiefbrody2001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chiefbrody2001/) * (@chiefbrody2001) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yoasts-not-working-causing-text-editor-issues/) * Discovered by switching off all plugins that Yoast is the culprit for causing WordPress editor to be unable to switch between Visual and Text editor. Yoast settings have also disappeared. This has occurred over the last 24 hours.

Turning off Classic Editor appears to get Yoast working correctly again. * [mommykatandkids](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mommykatandkids/) * (@mommykatandkids) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yoasts-not-working-causing-text-editor-issues/#post-12183849) * I have the same issue. It is very frustrating as WordPress has stated they will continue support for the Classic Editor indefinitely. * Thread Starter [chiefbrody2001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chiefbrody2001/) * (@chiefbrody2001) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yoasts-not-working-causing-text-editor-issues/#post-12185517) * I’ve decided to switch off Yoast indefinitely instead of Classic Editor as it was a case of which one is most important to me at the moment. 🙁 * That does enable Classic Editor to work correctly. 🙂 * But it meant going into the header.php file to sort out the browser details as Yoast was handling that. I used this code to get that working correctly: * ` | ` * Thread Starter [chiefbrody2001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chiefbrody2001/) * (@chiefbrody2001) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yoasts-not-working-causing-text-editor-issues/#post-12193202) * Given my site is a slave to Yoast, it has been turned back on to fix a number of other issues that were causing me headaches. Can Yoast update the plugin to fix the bug causing text editor (with Classic Editor plugin switched on) to stop working properly? * [Jerlyn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jerparx/) * (@jerparx) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yoasts-not-working-causing-text-editor-issues/#post-12212709) * We are sorry to hear about your issues. Unfortunately, we are unable to reproduce the problem with the following: * WordPress 5.3 Yoast SEO 12.6.2 Classic Editor 1.5 Twenty Nineteen theme. * Can you please confirm if updating everything on your side resolves the issue? * Thread Starter [chiefbrody2001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chiefbrody2001/) * (@chiefbrody2001) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yoasts-not-working-causing-text-editor-issues/#post-12218970) * I’ve updated all but the issue is persisting. * On another of my sites running Classic Editor 1.5 and YoastSEO 12.4, the problem doesn’t exist. * [Pcosta88](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pcosta88/) * (@pcosta88) * [6 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yoasts-not-working-causing-text-editor-issues/#post-12223599) * [@chiefbrody2001](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chiefbrody2001/) * When you performed the conflict check can you verify that you did so by deactivating all plugins except Yoast and the Classic Editor and then switched to a standard theme like 2019? Can you also confirm the issue still happens if you use another browser like Chrome or FireFox (be sure they are updated and no browser plugins are enabled). * We ask as we are able to switch back and forth between the editors as expected using Chrome v78.0.3904.108 (Official Build) (64-bit) on a Macbook Pro Catalina v10.15.1 . See image: [https://pasteboard.co/IKC1PZj.png](https://pasteboard.co/IKC1PZj.png). * If the issue still happens when you are on a standard theme AND in another browser then we may expect this to be a bug. * We’re actively using the bug tracking on our GitHub repository so your best next step would be to create a new issue for our developers at [https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/new](https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/new).
