Hello, my pages are repeatedly reverting back to their old versions after I have optimized them using your plugin.
IE a page will be pre-optimized, I will go into it and optimize, save it, and then later I will see it has reverted back to it’s earlier state.
It is often the title and meta description that have reverted. How do I ensure this does not continue to happen?

Hello, we apologize for the issue you are facing with your SEO optimized pages reverting back to their old versions. This can be frustrating, and we appreciate you bringing this concern to our attention.
There are a few common reasons why your SEO Title, Description, and Focus Keyword might not be saving properly:
1. Plugin Conflicts
There may be conflicts with other plugins that prevent the changes from being saved. We recommend checking for plugin conflicts by following our guide on plugin conflict.
2. JavaScript-Related Errors
JavaScript errors can also cause issues when saving your SEO settings. You can diagnose these errors by checking the JavaScript Console in your browser. Here’s how to do it in Chrome:
- Open Developer Tools by navigating to More Tools → Developer Tools from the Chrome menu.
- Click on the Console tab.
If you find any errors, they may need to be resolved to ensure proper functionality.
3. Saving Settings
Make sure that after making changes in Rank Math, you are clicking the Save Changes button at the bottom of the settings page. If you navigate away without saving, your changes will not be retained.
4. Cloudflare Settings
If you are using Cloudflare, ensure that you have whitelisted the necessary Rank Math URLs in your Cloudflare settings. This can help prevent security features from interfering with the saving process. You can find more details on how to do this in our article about whitelisting Rank Math in Cloudflare.
If you have tried these steps and the issue persists, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further. Thank you for your patience, and we hope this helps resolve your issue!
