Same issue here. Rolled it back to 20.12.

Hi @maybellyne, the post is actually published here…

The Yoast block in the editor:

This is all corrected when I deactivate Yoast, or as @downrangemedia did, I roll back to 20.12.

An update: Re-updated to 20.13 this morning since Premium got disabled when I rolled back to 20.12. As of now it looks like the issue went away. It could have been another plugin that caused this, but I can’t be certain.

I have the same setup/combination on 3 other wordpress sites, but had no issues there. Just another one of those mysteries……..

Hello @grandadmiral12345

Thanks for the very helpful screenshots. I see that you are experiencing a blank meta box and not using the default WordPress content editor. Though you have rolled back to v20.12, and everything works fine now, we recommend using the latest version to avoid missing out on bug fixes and product enhancements.

As mentioned by @downrangemedia, there could have been a plugin conflict. Also, you should ensure that WordPress and other plugins and themes are updated.

Often, we see problems occur in combination with another plugin or theme. The fastest way to rule out any conflict is to deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme like Twenty Twenty-Two.

Please test this on your development or staging site if you have one. If not, we recommend using the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin. This plugin has a troubleshooting mode, which does not affect normal visitors to your site.

If 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.

Hi @maybellyne. I’ve pretty much tried all of this and the problem only occurs with the Yoast plugin… on both of my two sites. There’s apparently something up with multiple people having issues with 20.13. If your response is the final action with this other than taking into account what others are saying about this version, then I guess my next step would be to find a new SEO plugin as Yoast 20.13 is not being reinstalled.
