Description
I just did the upgrade today. Since the upgrade, when I'm in the editor the only plugins that show are the headline editor, block editor and jetpack, I cannot see the yoast plugin where I would provide keywords, meta description, etc.
Underneath the text area, I see readability, social, SEO - when I click on them nothing happens.
I've reinstalled Yoast, WP5, etc. I can modify the meta description in the bulk editor but not the key words. Key words are critical.

Welcome @sheensnaturephotography and thanks for the report.
These issues may depend on a change in WordPress 5.5 related to the jQuery library. Are you seeing any JavaScript errors in your browser console?
If so you might need to check the information on this support topic under the section "jQuery Migrate is disabled by default": https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-this-first-wordpress-5-5-master-list/#post-13238244
If that is the case, it means one or more of your plugins or the active theme are using JavaScript code that is incompatible with the jQuery change in WordPress. Ideally, these plugins (or the theme) should update their code. If no update is available at this time, there is a "jQuery Migrate Helper" plugin available on the support topic, please see the instructions there. If that solves the issues you're experiencing, please report back. That would be much appreciated so that issues triggered by this change can be better tracked :)

If that turns out not to be the case, feel free to reopen this ticket with more details after you've checked that all your plugins and themes have been updated to the latest versions.
