Double loading Lodash [Version 14.6.1]

Hi,

Yoast loads up lodash twice and breaks ACF Fields loading content

Php: 7.2
Wordpress: 5.4.2
Yoast SEO: 14.6.1

As of Yoast Version 14.6.1, I’m getting this console error that’s related to lodash getting loaded twice. The double lodash loading is screwing up my ACF field pages and I can’t edit pages. (To be precise, ACF fields with Wysiwyg Editor and media upload was giving an error, not displaying the content and giving saying there was no content when I added text to the editor field).

Uncaught TypeError: _ is undefined

That error links to, wp-admin/plugins.php (This occurred on the main dashboard)
```
<script src='https://mysite.com/wp-includes/js/dist/vendor/lodash.min.js'></script>
<script>
window.lodash = _.noConflict();
window.lodash = _.noConflict();
</script>
```
The fix was to deactivate Yoast SEO and then there was no more double window.lodash = _.noConflict(); loading in wp-admin, which meant Yoast was the cause of that double lodash line. I’ve searched through the wp-admin/plugins.php and can’t find any lodash line anymore after disabling Yoast SEO.

Is this issue just mine or can anyone else confirm the same errors? Can this be fixed?

Hello @devalexdev!

Can you please perform a conflict check? The fastest way to do this is to reactivate Yoast SEO, deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme like Twenty Nineteen.

Test this on your development or staging site, if you have one. If not, we recommend using the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin. This plugin allows you to run a conflict check without affecting normal visitors to your site. You may follow the steps here: How to check for plugin conflicts.

Hi, thank you for your response,

I see the reason is that both Toolset Types Version 2.3.3 and Yoast add the window.lodash to wp-admins/plugins.php

https://wordpress.org/plugins/types/

window.lodash = _.noConflict();

Hi @devalexdev ,

We wanted to replicate the issue but unfortunately, Toolset Types is no longer available for download as it’s been closed as of April 4, 2019. We can see that their latest version is 2.3.5 and you are running 2.3.3. We do not recommend running outdated versions of plugins as this might cause conflicts (and more conflicts in the future). As there is no longer any way of updating this plugin, we suggest looking for a similar plugin in the WordPress repository to avoid conflicts.
