Even when I click on the SCREEN OPTIONS it doesn’t show anything :/ Don’t like this WordPress 3.5 and even I didn’t backed up any thing before updating. My mistake. * [aliosha75](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aliosha75/) * (@aliosha75) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yoast-wordpress-seo-plugin-does-not-work/#post-3263034) * Hi, I noticed the same thing, yoast plugin doesn’t work since i made the 3.5 wordpress upgrade. I noticed that options became visible if i disable these css with Firebug : * .wpseotab { display: none; } ul.wpseo-metabox-tabs { display: none; } But i don’t understand why. There is also a javascript problem i guess. I hope it can be helpful. * [megawebspace](https://wordpress.org/support/users/megawebspace/) * (@megawebspace) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yoast-wordpress-seo-plugin-does-not-work/#post-3263036) * this is exactely what i discovered with WordPress 3.5 Disabeling these css rules will display the WordPress SEO Options. * What I do not understand is why not everyone is having this problem. * [gooma2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gooma2/) * (@gooma2) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yoast-wordpress-seo-plugin-does-not-work/#post-3263037) * Hey megawebspace, I think many of us have noticed very different results with the WP 3.5 update. * Since there are so many different themes and plugins we all use they react differently so not everyone will have the same issues going on. * [heimana](https://wordpress.org/support/users/heimana/) * (@heimana) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yoast-wordpress-seo-plugin-does-not-work/#post-3263038) * Got same problem, and since I’m using Photocrati as cover theme, on the home page it only shows the photocrati block and not the gallery! And more, the website is soooo slow… Desactivate it, desinstalled but still got crap! * [guitarsuperman23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guitarsuperman23/) * (@guitarsuperman23) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yoast-wordpress-seo-plugin-does-not-work/#post-3263040) * LOVE this plugin by the way, But it is not workign…. * For some reason, I can’t toggle ANYTHING on my wordpress. * For instance, I go onto a page to edit, I see the WordPress YOAST section, but it is not dropping down the menu to edit titles, etc. * It worked before, so all of my pages are good, but I wanted to add a new page and now it doesn’t allow me to do anything as far as page/post by page/post basis. * Please advise what I should do! * My site is [http://elawsuitloans.com](http://elawsuitloans.com) * [KentAjans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kentajans/) * (@kentajans) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yoast-wordpress-seo-plugin-does-not-work/#post-3263076) * Is there any solution for that? Same problem here, you can toggle but nothing show (all set display:none) * And pretty sure its not about other plug-ins cause nothing added newly * Thanks * [threelittlefish](https://wordpress.org/support/users/threelittlefish/) * (@threelittlefish) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yoast-wordpress-seo-plugin-does-not-work/#post-3263077) * I am having the same issue, the bar appears but will not drop down. * [Veseloops](https://wordpress.org/support/users/veseloops/) * (@veseloops) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yoast-wordpress-seo-plugin-does-not-work/#post-3263078) * Same problem here, any solution? * [Matthew Ray](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rayman813/) * (@rayman813) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yoast-wordpress-seo-plugin-does-not-work/#post-3263081) * The problem is that you have a javascript error in the admin panel. The SEO plugin loads after everything else, so if there is an error in a script somewhere the javascript that makes the tabs display doesn’t run. Find the file that is causing the error and comment the erroneous line out and it should work. (You then have to fix the error 😛 ) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 28 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yoast-wordpress-seo-plugin-does-not-work/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yoast-wordpress-seo-plugin-does-not-work/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘Yoast WordPress SEO Plugin DOES NOT WORK!’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/wordpress-seo/assets/icon-256x256.gif?rev=3419908) * [Yoast SEO - Advanced SEO with real-time guidance and built-in AI](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-seo/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-seo/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-seo/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-seo/reviews/) * 28 replies * 21 participants * Last reply from: [antheathomas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antheathomas/) * Last activity: [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/yoast-wordpress-seo-plugin-does-not-work/page/2/#post-3263095) * Status: not resolved
