Gutenberg crashes when editing a site and yoast plugin activated

[x] I've read and understood the contribution guidelines.
[x] I've searched for any related issues and avoided creating a duplicate issue.

Please give us a description of what happened.

When click on edit for a site, then for a short moment a error messages comes up, that the editor needs javascript acitivated (it is activated and the updated to the latest version.

After 1-2 seconds the editor loads. When Gutenberg editor is open, then after some seconds it crashes.

This happens only, when yoast plugin is activated. I already reinstalled yoast. If plugin is deactivated there is no Javascript error message and Gutenberg Editor doesn't crash afterwards.

How can we reproduce this behavior?

Hi @tomtom-b-90 , this is not normal behavior of our plugin. Could you please try completely removing the plugin and reinstalling it? If that does not fix the issue, please try to provide as much information as possible, because we will need to be able to reproduce the issue to investigate it.

Hello, thanks for your reply.

I already deinstalled and deleted yoast plugin. Via the Wordpress menu and via FTP. Issue still there.

I also reinstalled Java. Java is activated in Browser.

Crash only happens if Yoast Plugin is activated. Otherwise i can edit posts.

If i change to old editor (not Gutenberg Editor) mode, then the system also works if yoast is enabled.

Please tell me, which information you need.

Error message:

Wordpress and yoast installation does not lie at the main subdirectory. It is installed in a folder within the main directory to manage different sites. Wordpress settings are that, the site should not be dispalyed like it is installed wihtin a folder. Via Server settings there is a redirect to the folder.

Thanks for your help.

Ah, are you perhaps loading the plugin files from another domain? By setting WP_CONTENT_URL to another domain?

tomtom-b-90 commented 4 years ago

Settings in Wordpress:

WordPress-Adresse (URL): https://seite-der-gesundheit.de
Website-Adresse (URL): https://seite-der-gesundheit.de

Settings on Server:

Wordpress Installtion on Server: /html/wp-sdg/
Redirect to Folder via Server Hoster: seite-der-gesundheit.de redirect to /html/wp-sdg

All Plugins of this installation are in the folder /html/wp-sdg/wp-content/plugins/

Hmmm ok, and what version of the Gutenberg plugin are you running? Does the problem persist if you disable the Gutenberg plugin? Since what version of Yoast are you experiencing this issue and does rolling back solve it? Are there any more errors / warnings in your browsers console?

Hey Djennez,

i just found the reason why this happened. If i disable all addons beside yoast, then it works. When i activate the plugin Cookiebot | GDPR Compliant Cookie Consent and Notice Version 3.3.0, then it crashes. If only The Cookiebot plugin runs, then there is no problem. Only when both are active.

I deactivated the Cookiebot within the wordpress admin area and now everything works fine again.

Thanks for your help.

Good to hear that you found the solution. Looks like that Cookiebot plugin is crashing more plugins' JS code, according to their support forums. This makes me think this is something on their part that needs to be fixed. I'm going to close this thread because of that.
