Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the Rank Math settings disappearing when cloning pages. Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention.
This issue can occur due to various reasons, such as conflicts with other plugins or themes, or specific settings in your WordPress environment. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:
-
Check for Plugin Conflicts: Deactivate all other plugins except Rank Math and see if the issue persists. If it resolves, reactivate the plugins one by one to identify the conflicting plugin.
-
Theme Conflicts: Switch to a default WordPress theme (like Twenty Twenty-One) to see if the issue is related to your current theme.
-
Update Everything: Ensure that WordPress, your theme, and all plugins are up to date. Sometimes, updates can resolve compatibility issues.
-
Use the Code from Gist: If you haven’t already, try running the code from the gist you mentioned again, ensuring that it is executed correctly. This code is intended to fix certain issues related to settings not being saved properly.
-
Check User Permissions: Ensure that your user role has the necessary permissions to modify Rank Math settings.
-
Contact Support: Since you’ve already submitted a ticket, a human agent from our support team will be able to assist you further with this specific issue. They can provide more tailored advice based on your site’s configuration.
To avoid this issue in the future, consider keeping a backup of your site before making significant changes or updates, and regularly check for plugin and theme compatibility with Rank Math.
If the problem occurs again, following the above troubleshooting steps should help identify and resolve it.
Thank you for your patience, and we hope this helps!
