Yoast SEO meta data not accessible in Classic Editor after update to WP6.2.2

Last week I updated my WP core from 6.1.1 to 6.2.2, and today while updating my blog post, I noticed Yoast SEO meta data fields were missing and not accessible.

After a few tests and R&D, I found that if I disable the Classic Editor plugin, it works properly. 

But I needed the Classic Editor for Productivity

Then I tested disabling the Gutenberg editor directly from the code.

add_filter(‘use_block_editor_for_post’, ‘__return_false’);

Still, the issue is not resolved.

So I rolled back to 6.1.1 in the development environment and found it working perfectly on WP 6.1.1.

Now I’m at conclusion, it’s due to conflict in WP 6.2.2, Classic Editor and Yoast SEO

(I can’t rollback production to 6.1.1 and don’t want to skip use of Classic Editor)

If someone has an appropriate solution to fix this, please let me know.
