 * Hi
 * First of all I have updated everything to the latest including wordpess 4.3, 
   Easy Property Listings 2.26 ,Yoast SEO 2.3.4 as well as visual composer and ultimate
   addons.
 * Now to my problem:
    “I keep getting the error: wp-content/plugins/easy-property-
   listings/lib/widgets/widget-listing-search.php on line 5O”
 * I have narrowed it down to a conflict between the widget-listing-search and Yoast
   SEO. More specifically I can use both together with no problem as long as the
   widget stays in the default sidebar. As i am using visual composer I am placing
   the widget in the page itself. I can still use it and save it withought a problem.
   
   The problem is only when I finish editing a page and then I go below to the SEO
   section where i can add descriptions,metatags etc. .Once I finish the editing
   of the SEO and click on publish or update then I get the error and the page becomes
   useless (although I can still it in the front as if nothing is wrong).
 * I can use the widget normally and I can even use the SEO on the property listings
   adding/editing etc without any problem. The widget crashes the page only when
   it is added in the page itself.
 * The site to look at so you understand where the widget is placed is here: [http://www.bluechipre.com.au](http://www.bluechipre.com.au)
 * Any ideas will be greatly appreciated
    Thanks tassos

 * I can see you have two search widgets on the single page. You are going to need
   to remove one.

 * Hi Merv
 * I tried your suggestion plus a million other thinks but although it works partially
   now there is still a bug. I have now narrowed it down further to what I believe
   may be the exact cause. First of all the error that I am getting now is:
 * Call to undefined function epl_shortcode_listing_search_callback() xxxxxxxxxxx\
   wp-content\plugins\easy-property-listings\lib\widgets\widget-listing-search.php
   on line 36
 * Further testing though proved that there is a conflict between the widget and
   the code/field used by Yoast SEO.
 * An explanation in simple terms:
 * I can create my page as above using the widget within the page (if it is one 
   or two widgets makes no difference). I can then go to the Yoast SEO and give 
   a focus keyword and then add the seo title /description etc no problem. If I 
   save the page it crashes with the above error.
 * If I do though exactly the same but before I save remove the focus keyword but
   leave the rest then I can save without any problem. So the conflict is between
   the Yoast SEO field/code that is used for the focus keyword and the fields/code
   used for the widget.
 * I hope that helps 🙂 and please do let me know of any progress.
 * Thanks
