 * Hello [@simocalca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simocalca/),
 * I’m sorry you are experiencing a blank meta box. A [blank meta box](https://yoast.com/help/yoastseo-meta-box-is-blank/)
   issue occurs due to a JavaScript conflict. We’d like you to perform a conflict
   check to help us determine the next steps while saving you time.
 * Often, we see problems occur in combination with another plugin or theme. The
   fastest way to rule out any conflict is to **deactivate all non-Yoast plugins
   and switch to a standard theme** like [Twenty Twenty-Two](https://wordpress.org/themes/twentytwentytwo/).
 * Please 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 has a troubleshooting mode, which **does not affect normal
   visitors to your site**.
 * If 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://yoast.com/help/how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts/)
 * If you feel uncomfortable doing 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.

 * Hi,
 * thank you for your answer.
 * I tried to find conflicts but even disabling all plugins and activating the yoast
   base theme it still doesn’t work as it should.

 * I’m sorry that the issue persists. Do you mean that the meta box is blank when
   you switch to a default WOrdPress theme and only have the Yoast SEO plugin active?
   If yes, while you’re on the screen, can you please check if there are Javascript
   errors on your browser’s console? You may follow the steps here – [https://yoast.com/help/how-to-find-javascript-errors-with-your-browsers-console/](https://yoast.com/help/how-to-find-javascript-errors-with-your-browsers-console/)

 * There are JS errors about block editor (I think), but if try to active the classic
   editor the errors switch to classic editor…
