Solve Yoast SEO meta box is blank

Solution 1: Outdated Plugins

This problem first came to my mind when I get this error and most people face this error because they install outdated plugins. Most of the people faced this because they installed a plugin that is not tested with the current version of WordPress. So make sure you installed the updated WordPress Plugins or themes.

Solution 2: Disable JavaScript

In order to perform all its duties, the meta box Yoast SEO is based on JavaScript. If JavaScript is disabled, it will not work properly for Yoast SEO.

Read this tutorial on enabling-javascript.com to allow your browser to JavaScript. This is supposed to solve your problem.

Solution 3: JavaScript error

Our browsers are quite sensitive to errors in JavaScript. If a JavaScript error is thrown by any plugin, your browser will completely stop executing JavaScript. This means that other plugins can stop the proper functioning of Yoast SEO. Fortunately, your browser finds these problems very well.
