The Yoast SEO plugin does a compatibility check with other plugins which might cause conflicts with it.
The Yoast plugin attempts to look in ABSPATH.'/wp-content/plugins'
which doesn’t cause a show stopper error, but you will get warnings about activating a plugin generating unexpected output.
The fix for it is changing line 112 in wordpress-seo/admin/class-yoast-plugin-conflict.php
to:
$plugin_details = get_plugin_data( ABSPATH . '/../app/plugins/' . $plugin );
I don’t know how bedrock or Yoast fix this issue though, as there is no wordpress way of getting the plugins directory afaik.
Anyways, just wanted to let you know as I spent all morning tracking this down and couldn’t find the topic on discourse.
