I can’t save my SEO title, meta description, and focus keyword

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with saving your SEO title, meta description, and focus keyword. Here are some common causes and solutions that might help you resolve this problem:

1. Plugin Conflicts

There may be conflicts with other plugins that prevent you from saving your SEO metadata. You can troubleshoot this by following our guide on plugin conflicts.

2. JavaScript-Related Errors

JavaScript errors can also cause issues when trying to save your SEO metadata. You can check for these errors using the JavaScript Console in your browser. Here’s how to do it in Chrome:

1. Open the Developer Tools by navigating to More Tools → Developer Tools from the Chrome menu.
   
2. Click on the Console tab.
   

If you find any errors, they may need to be addressed to resolve the issue.

3. Cloudflare Settings

If you are using Cloudflare, ensure that you have whitelisted the necessary Rank Math URLs. You can create page rules in Cloudflare to disable security for specific Rank Math endpoints. Here’s how:

• Create a new page rule for the following URLs (replace example.com with your domain):
  • *example.com/wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateMeta*
  • *example.com/wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateSchemas*
  • *example.com/wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateRedirection*
  • *example.com/wp-json/rankmath/v1/getFeaturedImageId*
  • *example.com/wp-json/rankmath/v1/getHead*
• Set the action to Disable security and save the rule.
