Setting post page stops yoast working

I’m using oceanwp. I created a new page to contain my posts, called “Blog”. I can edit this with elementor OK and the yoast plugin gives some feedback OK (not much because its an empty page at this stage). But, when I go to Settings->Reading->Post Page and set “Blog” as the posts page and save settings, when I return to the page I selected for posts it says that the yoast feedback such as readability is “not available” and when I try to edit the page in elementor I get an error message saying that elementor cannot load. If I go back and unselect “blog” as the Posts page then everything works fine again. Why is this?
