The fastest way to do this is to **deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme** like [Twenty Nineteen](https://wordpress.org/themes/twentynineteen/). * Test this on your development or staging site, if you have one. If not, we recommend using the [Health Check & Troubleshooting](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/) plugin. This plugin allows you to run a conflict check **without affecting normal visitors to your site**. * As we can imagine that you’re unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we’d like to point you to a step-by-step guide that will walk you through the process:  [How to check for plugin conflicts](https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts/). * If you do not feel comfortable to do this yourself or if this does not solve your issue, our [Yoast SEO Premium plugin](https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo/) comes with one year of (technical) support. * [cutrano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cutrano/) * (@cutrano) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-seo-tab/#post-14414648) * Following this thread. having the same issue. have completed troubleshooting steps. The Yoast plugin is still broken with Twenty-twenty theme and just yoast and classic editor activated. * Changed back to parent theme and same issue, then back to child theme. same issue. * Please advise on next steps. * [Squiggy45](https://wordpress.org/support/users/squiggy45/) * (@squiggy45) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-seo-tab/#post-14415615) * Yep, same here. * [devnihil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devnihil/) * (@devnihil) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-seo-tab/#post-14416351) * [@cutrano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cutrano/) [@squiggy45](https://wordpress.org/support/users/squiggy45/) We are sorry you’re having this issue. Per the [forum guidelines](https://wordpress.org/support/forum-user-guide/faq/#i-have-the-same-problem-can-i-just-reply-to-someone-elses-post-with-me-too), we ask that you please create a separate topic for the issue you are experiencing. * That way it’s easier to track issues and provide assistance on your specific concerns on your specific site. Plus, you will get your own alerts for the issue rather than someone else’s.

Can you please provide us with the [console error](https://yoast.com/help/how-to-find-javascript-errors-with-your-browsers-console/) you are getting? * We’ve received similar reports where their CDN was causing the issue. Can you please check your CDN and see if you can clear its cache? After clearing the cache, does the issue resolve? * If you have SiteLock, try going to SiteLock dashboard → TrueShield settings → Clean cache. * Let us know if the issue persists. * [cutrano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cutrano/) * (@cutrano) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-seo-tab/#post-14419427) * Following.

I am not the OP * Cleared my siteshield cache and that didn’t seem to have any effect. Still have javascript errors on the page which seem to be related to Classic Editor. When I tested in the troubleshooter mode I had to enable Classic editor to get the toast plugin to even show up in the post editor. Not sure if that has anything to do with it but thought It was worth a mention. * Here’s my errors * [https://ibb.co/KxzhCC8](https://ibb.co/KxzhCC8) * [cutrano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cutrano/) * (@cutrano) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-seo-tab/#post-14421754) * For what it’s worth…I update my PHP version to 7.4 from 7.2 and that fixed it * [cutrano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cutrano/) * (@cutrano) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-seo-tab/#post-14421789) * Working in Chrome but not Firefox or Safari. - This reply was modified 5 years ago by [cutrano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cutrano/). * Plugin Support [Michael Tiña](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikes41720/) * (@mikes41720) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-seo-tab/#post-14423176) * Hi [@cutrano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cutrano/) * As mentioned, please respond or create your own topic on this issue.

It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress”. This means that there is a higher chance of the plugin conflicting. We do not recommend using outdated versions of WordPress, including (our own) plugins and themes, for the reasons covered [in this article](https://yoast.com/why-we-dont-support-old-wordpress-versions/). * Unfortunately, we are unable to provide additional support on how to make Yoast SEO plugin work with plugins **that may no longer be maintained or supported**. * [voxoweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/voxoweb/) * (@voxoweb) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-seo-tab/#post-14424892) * I have same problem.
