Thanks for reaching out about your hyperlinks. I couldn’t replicate this with Yoast SEO 20.3 and WordPress 6.1.1. 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.
Please test this on your development or staging site if you have one. If not, we recommend using the Health Check & Troubleshooting 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
If you feel uncomfortable doing this yourself or if this does not solve your issue, our Yoast SEO Premium plugin comes with one year of (technical) support.
We are seeing the same thing as noted by @justin-bigscoots with the link box being shot to the top of the editor in most cases. works when Yoast is off or it’s downgraded to 20.2.1
I’m trying hard to reproduce this but to no avail. On a new installation of WordPress 6.1.1 (current release) and Yoast SEO 20.3 (current version), the popup for adding a link comes into play right at the cursor/line of the content where I’m editing and not somewhere in the upper region of the screen viewport as seen in the screenshots of @justin-bigscoots
Are you all on the latest WordPress version as well as the newest versions of plugins and themes? Are the Gutenberg or Classic Editor plugins installed? I’d be happy to know the steps to reproduce to be able to tell if this is in fact an issue in Yoast SEO.
A good step to investigate is going through the steps Mabel mentioned above to see if it is also reproducible with a default theme and Yoast SEO as the only activated plugin. With the Health Check plugin troubleshooting mode, this is easy to test without affecting your site.
It seems that this is indeed an issue and mainly on lower resolution screens and when on WordPress 6.1 or 6.1.1, where the popup might go a bit outside the viewport. But I have not been able to get the popup showing up on top of the screen. We’ve created a bug report for our team to investigate this. Thank you for your patience.
We are still seeing clients reporting this same issue. We have seen the issue on WordPress 6.0.3, 6.1.1, & 6.2, with Yoast 20.3 & 20.4. Rolling back to 20.2.1 always fixes the problem. Not being able to add links to posts seems like it is more than a minor issue and should be addressed, should it not?
