Error in Directory pages: Uncaught Error: Class ‘WPSEO_Frontend’

Replies: 0

Greetings!

Suddenly we are getting a “There has been a critical error on this website” only on the site’s business directory.

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class ‘WPSEO_Frontend’ not found in /home/canormlo/public_html/wp-content/plugins/w2dc/classes/shortcodes/directory_controller.php:749

Stack trace:
#0 /home/canormlo/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(305): w2dc_directory_controller->configure_seo_filters(NULL)

#7 /home/canormlo/public_html/index.php(17): require('/home/canormlo/...')
#8 {main}

Note that I have deactivated Yoast SEO and now the pages are working. But I want Yoast to work for us.

I tried deactivating certain plugins like Defender, WP Optimize while reinstalling Yoast 17.8, but the problem persists.

Please tell me what else I can do to fix this issue.

Thanks!
Mari
