Yoast SEO 3.0.3 and 3.0.4 Conflict with Gravity Forms 1.9.13.7

    I just discovered a conflict between the Yoast SEO update and Gravity Forms. After updating to 3.0.3 (and later 3.0.4), I found that editing a page with a Gravity Forms form is agonizingly slow—like 5 minutes to cursor over a single space or type a letter. Impossible to use, basically. Performance is normal when editing other pages without any Gravity Forms shortcodes. Front end performance is fine.

    Rolling back to WordPress SEO 2.3.5 immediately resolved the problem. Just wanted to alert you to the issue so you can look into it. I replicated the problem and solution on multiple sites.

    Milles gracies!

    Just a heads-up that this issue is continuing after updating to the latest Yoast SEO and WP 4.4. I had to revert to to WP SEO 2.3.5 to make the editor functional again. Please let me know the status so I know you are aware of and working on this issue.

    Thank you!

    Hello,

    probably you should upgrade gravity to 1.9.15 Woking perfectly here.

    Hope it helps.

    Same problem here, Gravity Forms 1.9.15 and latest Yoast SEO 3.0.7
    Could not create new forms and removing input fields will result in an ajax error. Not all sites with this combination failed, some of them are still working fine. I had to revert to previous version of Yoast SEO 3.0.
    We checked all other options like memory, themes and other plugins.
    Thanks to Richard of Gravity Forms and the debug tool we found out Advanced Custom Fields was not the problem. This was our first guess…

    Just wanted to let you guys know this continues to be an issue. I have upgraded to the latest version of Gravity Forms (1.9.16.7) and tested the latest Yoast SEO (3.0.7), and the pages with forms on them become completely impossible to edit, slowing down to an agonizing crawl (typing one key takes minutes to complete—it’s basically a spinning beachball until then).

    Everything is fixed when I revert to WordPress SEO 2.3.5. *Please* look into this issue, or I will need to consider an alternative SEO plugin as I do not like being forced to continue running an outdated plugin.

    Thank you!

    P.S. In case it helps, I am testing this in Safari 7.1.3 (9537.85.12.18).

    Hey all, could you try Yoast SEO 3.1 (released today) and see if that improves things?

    Thanks so much for checking in, Joost!

    I’m sorry to report that updating to 3.1 had no affect, so I reverted back to 2.3.5. Before I reverted, I tested upping the memory in case it was a memory issue, but that made no difference.

    I haven’t had a chance to conduct a comprehensive audit of our 70+ client sites, but in doing a spot-check, I see most seem to be performing fine.

    The problem is occurring on one particular site and its companion test site (identical in terms of plugins and themes, but the test site has different content). The primary difference is this specific site has the most complicated forms. Could be that or some kind of conflict between the underlying theme (customized iThemes Builder theme).

    I don’t want to share the url publicly, but I could send it privately if that will help you with debugging. Let me know if so and how to go about doing that.

    Thanks!
