    Hey there, having issues with the plug in for my home page. All other pages work fine, just the home page is giving me issues. Any ideas? Thanks

  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you’re facing with the Focus Keyword field on your home page. It sounds like there could be a few reasons why the keywords aren’t saving specifically for that page.

    Here are some common causes to consider:

    1. Plugin Conflicts: Sometimes, other plugins can interfere with Rank Math’s functionality. You can check for plugin conflicts by following our guide on plugin conflict.

    2. JavaScript-Related Errors: If there are JavaScript errors on your site, they might prevent the Focus Keyword from being saved. You can diagnose these errors using your browser’s JavaScript Console. For example, in Chrome, you can open it by navigating to More Tools → Developer Tools and then clicking on the Console tab. Here’s a visual guide:
      Open Developer Tools

    If you’ve checked these and are still having issues, please reply to this ticket with your site URL so we can assist you further. A human agent from our support team will take over and help resolve this issue.

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

    Hello,

    We might need to take a closer look at your website to investigate this further. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

    Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.
    Sensitive Data Section

    It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

    You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

    Thank you.

    Just updated the sensitive data! Thanks again

    Hello,

    We’ve checked your homepage, and it seems that you’re not using a static page. It is set as “Your latest post” in your WordPress dashboard > Settings > Reading > Your homepage displays.

    You can also verify that on Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Homepage, you can set the metadata from there.

    This means that you will not be able to set a focus keyword and get an SEO Score for your homepage because it is not an actual page, but a list of your blog posts.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Okay thank you! I appreciate the help. Take care.
