Strange error on Yoast configuration about wordpress-seo

[SuonoWeb]

We are on WooCommerce 8.7 - Some solution?

Not sure if it is related, but after upgrading to Yoast 22.4 we immediately started seeing errors in our apache errors logs:

This caused our WordPress to crash, but downgrading solved the issue. It might be unrelated and might require its own bug report, but it would be good for you to take a look in the logs @SuonoWeb.

Hi @SuonoWeb

Thanks for using the Yoast SEO plugin and for creating the issue.

The issue you're currently experiencing typically occurs on the first-time configuration page due to the failure to communicate with the WordPress REST API or some restrictions with loading the image you selected. So, as the first step, we recommend you check the browser console, to find out if any errors are showing over there or not.

However, we also recommend that you select the image through the Yoast SEO > Settings > General > Site representation to check whether it helps to select the image without any issues or not.

Regarding the error noticed by @tbjornli, we recommend you to reinstall with the latest version of the Yoast SEO-free plugin again as the first step and then to perform a conflict check to narrow down whether the issue is caused by another plugin or not.

Jose, I've tryed also the configurations as you indicate, but the problem remains

@SuonoWeb

The issue is not reproducible on the lab sites with the latest version of the Yoast SEO plugin. So, it's something specific to your site/server. Have you tried to check the browser console to find out the errors that are showing over there when this error message occurs?

[SuonoWeb]

Thanks, i will try
