Elementor plus Yoast SEO – Featured Image tab missing

    Issue: Featured image tab not displayed in Gutenberg Post editor
    Wordpress: 5.9.2
    Theme: 2020 (used as ‘generic’ since I’m not using a block theme)
    Elementor: 3.5.6
    Yoast SEO: 18.3

    I’ve just been through a lengthy process of elimination, and nailed this issue down to Elementor (free) and Yoast (free).

    With all other plugins deactivated, activating both Elementor and Yoast the ‘Featured Image’ tab in the Gutenberg Post editor disappears. With one or other plugin active alone, it reappears (on page refresh, obviously).

    OK… going back to fully functional site (reactivate everything), deactivating Yoast SEO does NOT restore the Featured Image tab, so there’s something else going on here… sorry, watch this space…

    So everything was reactivated and the Featured Image tab was still there… but Yoast SEO thought I was a ‘First Time’ install and offered me the settings ‘Workout’. Having been through that, the Featured Image tab disappeared again… and then on several ‘hard’ refreshes it came back.

    I don’t know what the **** is going on here, but I’m inclined to blame Litespeed Cache, which tends to be at teh root of things appearing and disappearing unpredictably when changes are made.

    As far as Yoast and Elementro are concerned though, I think ‘resolved’. Anyone else with similar issues with disappearing tabs, I’d suggest (a) Purge all in your cache and possibly also then (b) log out and log in again.

    No way. I’ve got the same problem. Its so frustrating.I’ve purged the cache and still no featured image option. A workaround I found is if I temporarily deactivate Yoast and Elementor. Select my featured image. And then turn them back on. This is not a very good use of time though!
