no editor buttons, database error

I have the Applique theme installed and when Yoast is activated the wordpress editor buttons disappear, and there are tiny mce related errors on post-new.php in console. I’ve tried deactivating all other plugins.

There’s also an error log in the wordpress core wp-admin folder:
