 * Hi, we are using Yoast SEO for years, and we never had any problems. We use the**
   XML sitemaps** function disabled as we have another plugin for that. All worked
   fine for a long period of time… 
   This week Yoast SEO plugin started giving an
   error message about using the XML Sitemap in conjunction with our plugin for 
   the same functionality.We checked and Yoast SEO XML Sitemap was active, it’s 
   weird as we never activated it. We tried to proceed with the deactivation of 
   this feature then, and the message we receive while saving the changes is: **
   Oops! Something went wrong while saving**We tried to toggle any other feature
   at Yoast SEO and all of them are giving the same error while saving the changes.
   We deactivated all plugins for a test, and Yoas SEO still can’t make any changes
   to features as when we save it, we get the error message over and over again.
   Please can someone help with this?

 * Hey [@mw3biz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mw3biz/),
 * Thank you for your continued patience and sharing that screenshot. However, it
   doesn’t really tell more than the ERR500 that is happening on the browser side.
   The actual PHP fatal 500 error should be logged in your web app/server log files
   and have more information on what actually happened. It should also have information
   on which code, file and which line it happened at. So if you get access to the
   log file, make sure to check around the specific date/time you encountered the
   issue so you only look at that info.
