Yoast Incompatibility after Update

Replies: 5

After updating Yoast to 17.9 we are getting a critical error each time we try to update/publish a page. Fortunately, the changes still appear to be saving for now.

I’ve determined that if I deactivate Site Origin Widgets bundle, the conflict is resolved, but this has never been an issue in the past. I have tried deleting and re-installing the Yoast plugin, as well as deleting entirely via FTP and re-adding. The same issue occurs each time.

Here is the error that is emailed to me. Any help would be appreciated.

WordPress version 5.8.3
Current theme: Vantage Child (version 1.15.5.1606343971)
Current plugin: Yoast SEO (version 17.9)
PHP version 8.0.13
