 * Hi,
 * We understand that you encountered a fatal error when updating to v14.8 of Yoast
   SEO for WordPress. We apologize for any issues. If you don’t have access to your
   site, you can refer to this article for more information on how to deactivate
   the plugin — [https://yoast.com/help/white-screen-when-activating-or-updating-plugin/](https://yoast.com/help/white-screen-when-activating-or-updating-plugin/)
 * Could you also please check if your site meets the necessary plugin requirements
   here — [https://yoast.com/help/plugin-requirements/](https://yoast.com/help/plugin-requirements/)
 * We would also recommend that you perform a conflict check, as there could be 
   a conflicting plugin or theme — [https://yoast.com/help/how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts/](https://yoast.com/help/how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts/)
 * If you have a screenshot of the fatal error message, perhaps that could be helpful
   as well.

 * I will try to explain better. After i update wordpress version i also update 
   yoast. Then the site won´t load. it just keeping processing and does not show
   anything but a orange layer that is the main color of the website. Now the same
   thing is happening when i try to update different plugins but not all of them.
   I don´t receive any error msg from wordpress or the site.

 * Hi [@bernardino24](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bernardino24/) ,
 * Sorry to hear about the issues you’re having with your site. It seems that the
   problem you are having is caused by a conflict or maybe more than that. Can you
   please confirm if your server meets the plugin requirements [listed here](https://yoast.com/help/plugin-requirements/)?
   Have you also tried performing a [conflict check](https://yoast.com/help/how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts/)?
 * You mentioned that the same thing is happening when you update other plugins 
   so the issue could not be specific to Yoast SEO. Have you tried clearing your
   cache (browser, site, server) and see if that resolves the issue? We also suggest
   confirming with your web host if your server [meets the requirements](https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/)
   for running WordPress 5.5.

 * Hi. My server meets the requirements for running wordpress 5.5. unless they page
   would not open. The page does not open when i update plugins namely yoast.
    How
   can be a conflict check with the plugin? It always ran smoothly util the day 
   i updated him?

 * Hello [@bernardino24](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bernardino24/)!
 * Sorry for the trouble. The latest version of WordPress triggered some conflicts
   between Yoast SEO and a few other plugins (and themes), especially the ones that
   are running older codes. So we can pinpoint where the conflict lies, we need 
   you to perform a conflict check. 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, you’re unfamiliar with checking for conflicts. So 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/).
 * Please let us know the result.
