[Resolved] buttons in admin no longer working

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: Several parts of the wp-admin interface do not work as expected. I cannot click "Screen Options", for example, or edit a custom field image.

Solution: Deactivate all other plugins temporarily to try to narrow down the issue. In this case it appears to be a conflict with the Title and Nofollow for Links plugin.

I am trying to:
buttons in my admin are no longer working
this only happens when toolset is installed

example top right of my admin section "screen options" button does not toggle open anywhere in the site when toolset is installed.

and in my custom post type (when toolset is installed) when I click "edit image" the popup to select an image does not open up, instead the page refreshes with the message "post updated" as if i clicked the update button.

I have not installed any new plugins since this was working properly

Hi, could you try the following troubleshooting steps first?
- Clear your browser cache, log out and log back in to wp-admin. Test again.
- Temporarily switch to a default theme like Twenty Seventeen and deactivate all plugins except Types and Views. Test again.
- If the problem was resolved, reactivate your theme and other plugins one by one until the problem returns.
- If the problem was not resolved, open the browser console and click "Screen Options" again. Let me know if any errors appear in the console.
