Yoast dashboard is blank after install

That is indeed strange. Sometimes strange behavior may be caused by a plugin or theme conflict. The fastest way to rule out conflicts is to deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme like Twenty Seventeen. If this resolves the issue, you have a conflict and should activate one plugin at a time until you locate the conflict. Finally, after all plugins are active, switch to your theme. This will narrow down the conflict to a specific plugin or theme.

If you are unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we wrote a small guide that will walk you through the steps. You can find it here: How To Check For Plugin Conflicts

It looks like it is my theme that is causing the blank dashboard in yoast. I am using the ShopBiz pro theme and I would re4ally appreciate if there was a way to continue using this theme and still use yoast on my site. Is there any way to fix this incompatibility and if so how do I get them to work together? Do I have to contact the company providing the theme or do I ask you to make yoast compatible with this theme?

Hi,

We’re working on cleaning up these Yoast SEO support forums. Since your thread hasn’t had any activity in the last two weeks, we’ve marked it as resolved.

Of course, you’re always welcome to open a new topic. We kindly ask you to read this post before doing so.

Thanks for understanding!

For me the same problem: After the last updates of wordpress and yoast the dashboard is empty. Only blank pages. Also most of the option in pages or other sections are gone/not visible.

I tried to reinstall with no effect. I tried to disable all plugins – no effect. Other theme – no effect. Delete all the wordpress-file (except wp-config and wp-content) and reinstall wordpress – no effect. Settings are mostly okay – but dasboard is emptpy and all the settings in pages, postings or other sites are not complete (only a keyword can be set – analysis don′t work).

What can I do?

Hi!
I have exactly the same problem as @digidani describes. Also tried disabling all plugins and switching to a default theme, but this did not help.
Left of the “+Add keyword” tab, there is a tiny emty tab not responding to any clicks.
If I click on SEO/Dashboard, the page is nearly empty. The only elements I see are “Need help?” and “Save changes”.

According to yoast support this is an issue with the locale I’m using “Deutsch (Sie)” (de_DE_formal). If I switch to “Deutsch” (de_DE), the problem is fixed.

See https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/42574

I confirm that.
