 * Hello [@melissacraxton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/melissacraxton/),
 * We’re sorry that you are experiencing problems that might be caused by our plugin!
 * Just to be sure, we would like to rule out any plugin or theme conflicts that
   may occur. 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**.
 * As we can imagine that 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/).

 * Hi [@maybellyne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maybellyne/)
 * thanks for the response! I have done this, I think there is a conflict between
   the plugin and the theme – the theme is soledad.

 * According to the Soledad changelog, it is compatible with WordPress version 5.5&
   Yoast SEO plugin. Please update the Soledad theme & update plugin “Vafpress Post
   Formats UI” to solve the issues with the editor.
 * Does this resolve the issue?

 * Hi [@maybellyne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maybellyne/)
 * yes I did – Bizarrely, updating the plugin didn’t do anything, but after I deleted
   myself as a user and then created a new user profile for me – yoast came back
   and it seemed to work again?
 * Crazy – but its sorted now!
 * A massive thank you for your help. You are a legend! 🙂
