Yoast doesn’t work anymore ?

Hi @audreyfrench

If you can send more details, I’ll try to help you (I’m system administrator and I know PHP, WP). You can see some similar issues on github:

https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/6243
https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/6232

Please try to check javascript console. Just right click somewhere in the browser when you open editor, then select Inspect element and select tab Console in new window.

More info about checking JS errors (Firefox and Chrome):
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Web_Console/Opening_the_Web_Console
https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/console/

It seems as similar issue related to select2 javascript and it’s probably conflict with other plugin (or theme or security rules/plugin). If you send me screenshot and list of all plugins (name+version) and theme, I want to reproduce your issue at my test server.

PS. Did you try latest update (version 4.0 – released today)?

Hello Sasa !

Thank you very much for your answer. I am working with SAFARI
when i open the TAB Console in the editor, i can see Errors…

I think it is because of my theme, because on others blogs i have, with the same plugin, i have no problem with Yoast.

The theme I use is JOURNAL theme Version : 1.4.0
(actual version is 1.7.0)
https://themeforest.net/item/news-journal-news-magazine-newspaper/6294295?s_rank=5

Yoast support tell me to update the theme I use, but ican’t because, this is a customised theme, and I would loose all of my customizations ??

And Yes, this is the Version 4.0 of Yoast, i am using actually.

@audreyfrench I was able to find changelog for your theme. Also, I found similar theme from same author.

https://themes.bdayh.com/changelog/journal.txt
https://themes.trac.www.ads-software.com/changeset/37499/renad/1.1.0

It seems that your theme is designed for older WP core. It’s possible conflict with many plugins (not only Yoast SEO). I see that your theme loads jqeury-ui from theme’s directory which is wrong way. Your theme loads jQuery UI 1.10.3, but WP core already loads 1.11.4.

Please make backup of your theme. Open theme directory via FTP, go to directory forcemagic/js and remove or rename files:

jquery-ui.min.js
jquery.ui.slider.min.js
jquery.ui.sortable.min.js

If it works, can you paste here the code from function bd_admin_scripts() from forcemagic/options.php I’ll try to modify it to use WP core files instead hardcoded files from theme’s directory. Also, you need to re-test all options (related to WP editor) later.

Anyway, I can’t continue without more details.

Hi @audreyfrench

I see that’s marked as resolved. Solution which I proposed isn’t good, because it doesn’t covers all possible cases.
Did you fix issue? If so, can you send function bd_admin_scripts() from your theme, I can replace it in the theme which I’ve found, then I can modify parameters for wp_enqueue_script.

Thank you very much Sasa, but 8 months after the first question on this forum,
I had to change the YOAST plugin + theme because it was not possible to work this way. ??

I don’t know where was the bug
Too bad I met you now and not 8 months ago.

Thank you very much anyway.

Audrey
