# Yoast breaking visual editor

 * WP 4.5.2
    Yoast 3.2.5
 * The visual editor is broken with the most recent updates. Deactivating Yoast 
   resolves all errors. I think it is because of the [jQuery 1.12 attribute selector fix](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-this-first-wordpress-45-master-list?replies=7#post-8271654).

 * The category editor is still broken today at version 3.3.1. When you edit the
   category, the editor page is out of wack, the left WP menu is moved way down 
   can only see the top of it, can’t edit the snippet etc..
 * I think someone reported this a while back, but they never paid attention to 
   fix it.
 * Chrome and FF have the issue so I think it’s the jQuery as you mentioned. Also
   tested with anlther theme just in case, but same issue, deactivating Yoast, the
   problem goes away.

 * WP 4.5.2
 * I have also had the problem where visual editor screen appears just white, so
   we can’t edit the page/post content.
    Just updated Yoast SEO to 3.3.1 (today’s
   update) and still having this problem.
 * Hopefully this can be fixed, as I’ve had to deactivate the plugin in order to
   edit pages. Thanks.

 * Just another update (I posted this in another thread but its been marked as resolved
   so reposting here):
 * Updated 3.3.1 and still got the white screen in the Visual editor. So I clicked
   on the Text tab to switch to Text editor (just wanted to see that the content
   was still there) and then back to Visual and the content is now displaying.
 * But this needs to be done every time I go in to edit a page or post – the Visual
   editor content is not displaying automatically. When I deactivated the plugin,
   it does display automatically.

 * Hi there,
 * I have the same problem. After the latest update my visual editor of the website
   is not working. The error log says that the Yoast plugin caused some errors.
 * Also, few things have been stuck, like loading the gallery and from time to time
   publishing the pages. I always have to refresh and most of the time loose my 
   work.
 * If I disable plugin everything is working fine.
 * Can someone help please? It makes the website almost inaccessible to work with.
 * Thank you,
 * Joanna

 * I think this issue was reported a while ago and they know about it. Why ignoring
   it is unknown and judging from their other threads, they probably will never 
   answer here.
 * Come to think of it, I can do without Yoast, most of what they offer is either
   cosmetic or convenient, with a bit of custom code in a theme that already is 
   SEO ready like Genesis, who needs Yoast anyway.

 * FYI [@all](https://wordpress.org/support/users/all/) there is recognition and
   actual discussion about this issue on their [GitHub repo](https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/4581).
 * I image this forum is not a great tool for tracking issues
