a quick followup…
I’ve just gone to Products and, because they have never been (can’t be) edited with Elementor, i can both see the content I created and also see the Yoast elements.
Therefore can I assume this is some sort of conflict between Yoast and Elementor that stops me using Yoast on Elementor-made pages? Thanks
Hi,
We are using WordPress v5.2.2, Yoast v11.5 and Elementor v2.5.16 and the Yoast sidebar is appearing on a page. See image https://imgur.com/9WdYDZp.
We are not sure why it is not on your site. We would like some more information.
1. Can you confirm you are using the most recent Yoast SEO, v11.5? If you update, does the issue resolve?
2. Are all your non-Yoast plugins and themes also updated?
3. Can you confirm you are using WordPress 5.2.2? You can check by clicking on the W in the top left and selecting About. If you need to update, please check with your host provider. Please know that if you are using an older version of WordPress Core you may experience unexpected behavior with Yoast.

Hello,
Yoast is ver 11.5, WP is 5.2.2. Theme and all plug ins are up to date.
I can get my screen to look like yours also.

but, as you can see, there is no content showing to edit.
If I click on ‘Edit with Elementor’, I can see all content but no Yoast.

As I stated in my original question, I seem to be stuck between seeing my content but not knowing what Yoast wants me to do to it or seeing what Yoast recommends I do but having no content to do it to.
Thanks
Unfortunately, this is how Elementor works. The content is created in a separate Elementor area while the WordPress area contains the Yoast meta box to make changes. Some page builders work this way while others create content within the same WordPress area.
The good news is that Elementor sends the content back to the WordPress editor (at least last time I tested it) so Yoast can analyze the content.
Hello, Thanks for the answer.
I’d read on forums that if you switched from Elementor to WP then back again you lost all of the formatting but I’ll test that and hope your good news is still current 🙂
