Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with saving the meta description for your blog post type. This can happen due to several reasons. Here are some common causes and solutions:
1. Plugin Conflicts
There may be conflicts with other plugins that prevent saving the SEO Title, Description, and Focus Keyword. You can check for plugin conflicts by following our guide on plugin conflict.
2. JavaScript-Related Errors
JavaScript errors can also cause issues when saving metadata. 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.
- Click on the Console tab.


If there are any errors listed, they may provide insight into what is causing the issue.
3. Firewall Blocked Access to the File
If you are using a firewall, it might be blocking access to Rank Math files necessary for saving metadata. Ensure that the following files are whitelisted:
/wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateMeta
/wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateSchemas
/wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateRedirection
/wp-json/rankmath/v1/getFeaturedImageId
/wp-json/rankmath/v1/getHead
You can refer to your firewall documentation for instructions on how to whitelist these files.
If you have checked all of these and the issue persists, please reply to this ticket with any error messages you find, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
