Firecastdan, thanks for your response! You nailed it! I am quite happy not messing with Yoast! And yes, they wanted to make it MY problem. God forbid anyone thinks there was a problem with Yoast!

Before I upgraded to Live WP Support, I had email support. I just received this email from a WP Live Support tech:

“I have also seen reports of the same error tied to the Yoast plugin so I want to run some tests and make sure there’s no plugin/theme conflict happening.”

This was the first time anyone had pointed a finger at Yoast…

As I mentioned above, I DID do the tests to determine if it was a conflict with another plugin and it is not…

I decided to figure out what the conflict was… so I reached out again this morning to WP live to have them walk me through it. We installed TwentyTwenty (I was using Astra, and the WPL gal said Astra is always up to date and she would be shocked if Astra was the conflict.) With TwentyTwenty installed, and ALL OTHER PLUGINS DEACTIVATED except Yoast, THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. The WPL gal audibly gasped when she (and I) realized that YOAST is the problem. The error message that appears says this: “The Editor has encountered an unexpected error.” It then gives me three options: Attempt recovery, copy post text, or copy error. Nothing worked…

I sent the lengthy error message I got to WPL but I can’t find it now. If it is super critical I suppose I could look again. But at any rate, I think I have proven, at least to my satisfaction and the WPL gal’s satisfaction, that the issue resides in the YOAST plugin.

I understand that each website is unique. After I posted my original message, I got the problem resolved, and the problem was resolved when I disabled Yoast. I understand you’d like all the parameters to figure out the problem. But I spent a lot of hours today that I didn’t have to spend getting things working again. I’m sorry, but the ROI for me to go through all of that just isn’t there…

How do I send a screenshot?

Here is how I know what the problem is…

I had numerous phone conversations today with WP live support AND Hostgator. WP Live had me disable my plugins one by one and test. It was only after I disabled Yoast that Block editor opened. I can also replicate it… reactivate Yoast and the problem returns. I cleared my cache, had Hostgator clear theirs, checked pHp Memory and version, yada yada yada. Everything is up to date, everything else is working. It is Yoast. I downloaded another SEO plugin today and I can finally edit again in Block Editor. I must say, the Hostgator guy was pretty blown away that I had this big of a problem from Yoast…

I am having same issue. Tells me to check 2 step security (it is off) and gives me blog not connected to outside. Not sure which is problem or what it means about “blog not connected to outside.”

Most of what is posted above is Greek to me, but I am trying to install a social media plugin and I get this error:

We noticed that your site returns a cURL error (?Error: CURL error 28: Operation timed out after 5000 milliseconds with 0 bytes received ?). This means that it cannot send a notification to SpecificFeeds.com when a new post is published. Therefore this email-feature doesn’t work. However there are several solutions for this, please visit our FAQ to see the solutions (?Perceived bugs? => ?cURL error messages?): https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/faq

I want to be able to send out an email when a new blog entry is posted. Can anyone help? I have reached out to my server and things are ok on their end.

Thanks for your prompt reply, didn’t realize you HAD replied until this morning. Guess I missed the email that told me you had replied.

While I am pretty computer literate, I am quite CODE illiterate, and I am not at all sure where to paste that code. White would do fine for now, although I would really like to enlarge the font. I have a screen shot of my options box for the code…. awaiting further instructions… don’t see the option of uploading a file?
