    Hey there,

    I have activated YOAST SEO on my site. And when I try to add new post, It is showing WordPress > Error: The site is experiencing technical difficulties. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.

    In firebug, post-new.php is having status 500. Then I deactivated YOAST SEO and everything seems to be working nice.

    Then I have check my debug.log and found this:

    PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught TypeError: Argument 2 passed to WPSEO_Link_Watcher::save_post() must be an instance of WP_Post, null given, called in /home/datingwebsiterev/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php on line 288 and defined in /home/datingwebsiterev/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/admin/links/class-link-watcher.php:45

#6 {main}

    Testing environment is:
    WordPress => v5.2.1
    YOAST SEO => v11.2.1
    Ubuntu => 16.04

    Please help me regarding this.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Any update regarding this ticket?

    I have tried to switch to default theme. And I have deactivated all the plugins except YOAST SEO.

    I have also updated YOAST SEO and WordPress to latest version 11.3 and 5.2.1 respectively.

    Still I am able to reproduce the issue.

    When can I expect reply from support?

    Thank you.

    Hello @malavvasita

    Sorry to hear about your issue. The error was previously discussed in this bug report and determined that the issue is likely caused by a database issue. Please check the WP_POSTS table and see if the ‘ID’ field is set to AUTO_INCREMENT (image example here). If the field is not set for ‘AUTO_INCREMENT’, the database must be manually fixed to add ‘AUTO_INCREMENT’.

    Closed. No further concerns.
