    Hi Yoast team,
    Had the same behaviour with plugin 14.7, now with 14.8 on multiple blogs with WP 5.5 – was OK with 14.6

    What:
    1 – when Yoast plugin is activated, WP menus don’t behave correctly, e.g. 1st level is clickable, but 2nd level (when they exist) don’t appear when flying over 1st level / submenu appears only when clicking on 1st level menu, but then you’re sent to this menu.
    => If I’m on the main Yoast SEO page, then menus/submenus work.
    2 – media don’t appear at all – media gallery appears empty.
    3 – in plugins, if I click on Yoast SEO – View details (same behaviour with all plugins), it’s not a popup anymore, opens the details in place of admin page.
    4 – Tools/Site Health => Results are still loading…
    5 – on dashboard, the Yoast logo spins around in the “Posts overview” Yoast box, but doesn’t show any result.
    6 – screen options button is not clickable anymore.

    This is what I found so far. Had to disable the Yoast plugin, which is a problem as sitemaps disappear (+ more useful stuff of course).

    Thx for your help.
    Sincerely
    DJM

  • Hi @didierjm,

    Thank you for reaching out. We apologize for the issues you are experiencing.

    The issues you are getting are related to the combination of the latest Gutenberg plugin and Yoast SEO. We were able to replicate this and our development team has investigated. This is a WordPress core issue and should be fixed in an upcoming release such as WordPress 5.5.1. You can see the issue here: https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/50999.

    A workaround would be to disable the Gutenberg plugin. The block editor itself, is part of WordPress 5.0+ but doesn’t have the latest features which the plugin already has.
