Hello Pagebuilders,
bad news: The last big update of Yoast SEO (v 7.5.3 to 7.6) damage the Page Builder. If you update Yoast, the Page Builder will disappear in your WordPress Editor. So do not use it & wait till Yoast fix the issue (if ever).

Hi Alice
Sorry to hear about the hassle. We haven’t run into the same problem. If you’re still running Yoast 7.6 then we’d recommend trying a plugin conflict test:
This sounds like it could be a plugin conflict issue. Can you try disabling all plugins except for Yoast SEO and Page Builder and see if this fixes the issue? You’ll need to clear all your caches after disabling your plugins.
If this does fix the issue, then try re-enabling your plugins one by one until the issue comes back. This procedure will help diagnose which plugin is causing the issue.
Once we know that, we’ll be able to look at what might be causing the conflict and either solve the problem or help you find an alternative plugin.
If you aren’t using a SiteOrigin theme, then you can also try temporarily switching to one of the default WordPress themes to see if the issue is theme related.
It is definitively a YOAST SEO issue, because when I rollback to version 7.5.3 the problem was fixed.
Sure, I’m with you that Yoast is part of the problem. The issue isn’t occurring for us though. This means that it isn’t as straightforward as Yoast 7.6 breaks Page Builder. There are other factors that are part of the issue. If you’d like help in investigating the issue in the future, please let us know :)
