    yoast plugin seems to have altered site-width of my website with its latest update. disabling yoast plugin doesnt fix the problem. disabling all other plugins doesnt fix the problem. but switching to the default Twenty Seventeen does fix my problem. My normal theme Genesis News Pro is conflicting with yoast plugin i believe, even after i disable yoast (removing all of yoast would take additional effort id rather not have to go through). further troubleshooting has revealed the conflict with Yoast seems to have caused a change of my site's width in one way or another. the background of everything below the header has also automatically changed color to indicate a problem. this site width problem shows up on the front page (content-sidebar) and on full width pages and even in mobile. i need a response quickly please. thanks

    Technical info
    WordPress version: latest
    Yoast SEO version: latest
    News Pro: latest

    That shouldn't even be possible. Yoast doesn't use a style sheet on the front end. What I can see on your site is that you have 2 malformed meta tags that could be coming from Yoast, but I can't say for sure:

    <meta name=\"wot-verification\" content=\"44ac3dd29f3a59eaf94d\"/>
    <meta name=\"msvalidate.01\" content=\"93AB10CA0D92A04873DE875BA99F0E75\" />

    These shouldn't be escaped with the slashes and could be causing the browser not to execute the page correctly.

    You are also missing the site-container-wrap element. This is what allows for the side margins in News Pro. The site-container-wrap element is opened in the functions.php file at line 130 and closed at line 143 in the delivered code. Yoast would not have edited your funtions.php file. Restore the site-container-wrap and you should be fine.
