Unable to Change URLs – They Revert To Headlines

    This week I’ve noticed that I can no longer edit my urls. They automatically revert to the headline after I save a draft. I’ve tried changing it both at the top where I can hit the “edit” button, and in the rankmath SEO edit snippet feature. Each way, it reverts to the headline.

    I’ve recently updated a few plugins this weekend and installed two new plugins. I didn’t notice the error before this weekend, but I’m wondering if one of those updates caused the problem.

    Example: I want my headline to be something like: Become a Twitch Affiliate in 30 Days: Expert Advice for growing your stream but want my URL to end with become-a-twitch-affiliate so it’s not too long. But I can’t edit the url to take out all the extra headline stuff.

  • Hello,

    I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues with editing your URLs. It sounds frustrating that the changes you make to the URLs are not being saved and are reverting to the headline after saving a draft.

    It’s possible that the recent plugin updates or installations might have caused this issue. To troubleshoot this, we can start by checking if there are any conflicts with the plugins.

    First, let’s try deactivating the recently updated and installed plugins one by one to see if the issue persists. This will help us identify if any specific plugin is causing the problem.

    If the issue persists after deactivating the plugins, we can also try switching to a default WordPress theme temporarily to see if the problem is related to the theme.

    Additionally, it’s important to ensure that you are using the latest version of Rank Math and that there are no conflicts with other SEO or URL-related plugins.

    If you’re still facing issues after trying these steps, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from our support team will be happy to assist you further.

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this issue for you.
