Can you please confirm whether the issue persists on WordPress v4.9.1 and Yoast SEO v5.9.3?

@mazedulislamkhan
Yes it’s working now – no errors, thank you!

The problem still persist for me

@hakonzen In this case, we’d like you to please perform a conflict check. Can you try and gather as much information for us as possible? Please perform the following:
1. Make sure the issue doesn’t persist when Yoast SEO is disabled.
2. Check for conflicts.
3. Check for JavaScript errors with your console.
If you find any JavaScript errors related to Yoast SEO or if there is a conflict with a plugin or a theme, you can create a new GitHub issue for our developers. Please report the issue to a third party developer as well.
If you didn’t find any conflicts or errors, we think the issue is specific to your site. We’d need to investigate further but are unable to do so on these forums. You can purchase Yoast SEO Premium and receive our Premium email support and we can help you further.
