Issue With SEO controls of Templates

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with the SEO controls on your Elementor templates. It sounds like there may be a few reasons why your changes to the meta title and description are not being saved.

Here are some common causes and solutions:

1. Plugin Conflicts

There might be conflicts with other plugins that could prevent the SEO Title, Description, and Focus Keyword from being saved. 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 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 see any errors listed there, they may provide clues as to what is going wrong.

3. Ensure SEO Controls are Enabled

Make sure that you have enabled the Add SEO Controls option in the Rank Math settings for your Elementor templates. You can find this option under Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta → My Templates.

4. Save Changes

After making any adjustments, ensure that you click the Save Changes button to apply them.

If you have checked all of these and are still experiencing issues, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.

Thank you for raising this concern, and we hope to resolve it for you soon!

Hello,

We checked the Elementor template pages on your site and changes to the SEO meta title and description were saved. Please see the following screen recording: https://www.loom.com/share/dc3413e40b7b4b0cb29d609af0e03f6a?sid=c4637559-ae19-4fa5-89e3-f8929f057f6c

Please note that the metadata on template pages are not added to the live pages they are used on. This is the reason that Rank Math doesn’t add the SEO controls to the template pages by default as they are “templates”. They are added as short codes that are decoded by the Elementor plugin on the pages/posts they are added on.

We hope this helps. Please let us know if you have further questions or concerns.

Thank you.
