 * I am running WP 5.51, Avada Version 4.0.3, PHP 7.4. The Start Processing Yoast
   button loads page=wpseo_tools#start-indexation-yoastIndexationData. When I click
   the button on this page it does nothing. I deactivated Fusion Core and now when
   I try it says: Something went wrong while optimizing the SEO data of your site.
   Please try again later. I have tried deactivating all other plugins. Still doesn’t
   work.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fstart-processing-button-does-nothing%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * [@2chicks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/2chicks/) We’re sorry to hear 
   you are experiencing difficulties with the plugin.
 * Can you please confirm you are using the most recent version of Yoast SEO version
   14.9? You can learn more about updating here: [https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-can-i-update-my-free-plugin/](https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-can-i-update-my-free-plugin/)
 * If you have already confirmed that both Yoast SEO and WordPress are up to date
   and the issue is still occurring, we would next recommend performing a conflict
   check to determine whether another plugin or theme is interfering with the Yoast
   plugin.
 * 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**.
 * 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://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts/).

 * It must be the theme, because Yoast and everything else is up to date. I will
   update it next. Thank you!!

 * Hi [@2chicks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/2chicks/),
 * If updating fixes the problem or if is still happens with the latest version,
   you’re welcome to let us know. We’ll leave this open for a week just in case.
