Yoast SEO + Visual Composer Grid Elements: wpseoPostScraperL10n is not defined

I am using VisualComposer 4.12.1 and Yoast 3.6.

Thanks

I have now reverted down to version 3.1 which is the latest version without this problem ??

Anybody have any ideas what could be at the root of this?

Thanks
Laurent

I just discovered the same error when trying to use the Grid Builder. I had to disable the plugin when doing changes in VC Grid Builder.

Yoast SEO version 3.5 and 3.6.1 tested.

I could disable the plugin while making changes to the VC Grid Builder and later enable Yoast SEO Plugin again to temporarily resolve the issue.

THANK YOU. Was going nuts trying to figure out why my changes in Grid Builder would not save. Found this, deactivated Yoast while making changes, and – it worked.

Hi @mclaurent, @fjalestad, @slomeli79

I think that I just found root of this issue. Can you help me?

https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/6219
I think that Visual Composer is source. Can you find file wp-content/plugins/js_composer/include/classes/vendors/plugins/class-vc-vendor-yoast_seo.php and try to replace function enqueueJs with:

public function enqueueJs() {
        if ( wp_script_is( 'yoast-seo-post-scraper' ) ) {
                wp_enqueue_script( 'vc_vendor_yoast_js', vc_asset_url( 'js/vendors/yoast.js' ), array( 'yoast-seo-post-scraper' ), WPB_VC_VERSION, true );
        }
}

Heya

Thanks for investigating.

I can confirm that overwriting the enqueueJs function does get rid of the JavaScript error. I don’t have a support level with Visual Composer so I unfortunately cannot raise this with their team directly.

Thanks
Laurent

Hello –

Was anything ever figured out with this? Apparently this is causing a conflict with the Templatera plugin as well where you cannot edit templates. I tried applying the code above but that just breaks the site and having to deactivate Yoast every time I need to make an update is kind of cumbersome.

Thanks.

Same problem here. Yoast 4.7.1., Visual Composer 5.1.1. and Templatera 1.1.9.
Have noticed this with older versions also, so I guess this will be incompatible for years to come. A shame as Yoast + VC is a very common combination.

@puregraphx if you use Yoast 3.1 you shouldn’t be encountering the problem anymore

@mclaurent, as you can see, we are on 4.7.1 and the issue is still visible.

Yes that’s correct. You’d need to roll back to 3.1 as that version does not have this issue until the conflict is resolved.

Oh sorry, i thought you meant it has been fixed since 3.1. But it has been broken since 3.1? That is more than a year and 35 updates!!

They weren’t able to fix this issues in the 35 updates after 3.1.??

@stodorovic

thx this hot fix works for me ??

I have the same issue.

Yoast could define the variable before using it.

wpseoPostScraperL10n is not defined

so define it

var wpseoPostScraperL10n = null;
or
var wpseoPostScraperL10n = {};
or
var wpseoPostScraperL10n;

They could resolve this very easily.

Thanks
