    Hello,

    I’m trying to modify the meta description of one of my woocommerce product categories and for the first time, rank math doesn’t want to update the description. Every time I click on save, the page reloads again and the description I put in has been deleted. Can you help me ?

    Best regards,

    LSB

  • Hello,

    I’m sorry to hear that you’re facing difficulties updating the meta description for your WooCommerce product category using Rank Math. This issue could be related to various factors, such as plugin conflicts or JavaScript errors.

    To troubleshoot this issue, please follow these steps:

    1. Plugin Conflicts: There might be conflicts with other plugins causing this issue. You can check for plugin conflicts by following our guide on plugin conflict resolution.

    2. JavaScript Errors: JavaScript-related errors can also prevent the meta description from being saved. You can diagnose JavaScript errors in your browser’s console. If you are using Chrome, you can open the Developer Tools Console Panel by navigating to More Tools → Developer Tools and clicking on the Console tab. Check for any errors that might be affecting the saving process.

    If after following these steps you still encounter issues, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

    I already try the plugin conflict resolution…

    I just tried to change my profile name on the Rank Math site and it doesn’t work either. I don’t know if it’s related, but it looks like the same problem.

    I’ve also tried changing the meta description on Google Chrome and Opera and that doesn’t work either.

    The problem only concerns the backend. I can’t change the meta descriptions of my product categories.

    I understand that it would be easier for you to access the site, but it presents too great a risk for me. Can you explain what I need to do to fix this error? I think it would help a lot of people.

    Hello,

    There are a few possible reasons why you can’t save your SEO Title on your site. Here are some steps you can take to fix this issue:

    • Make sure that you have the latest version of Rank Math installed on your site. You can check this by going to WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Status & Tools > Version Control. If there is an update available, you will see a notification and a button to update the plugin
    • Check if there are any plugin conflicts that might be interfering with Rank Math. You can do this by following our plugin conflict tutorial. If you find any conflicting plugins, let us know.
    • Check if there are any JavaScript errors that might be preventing Rank Math from saving the SEO Title. You can do this by using the Chrome Developer Tools or any other browser’s developer tools. You can follow our guide on how to check JavaScript errors. If you find any errors, you can share them with us using this tool
    • Check if your firewall or security plugin is blocking access to Rank Math’s files. You can do this by looking at your firewall logs and seeing if there are any blocked requests to these files:
      /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

      If you see any blocked requests, you need to whitelist Rank Math and its files in your firewall or security plugin settings.

    • Also, try visiting the URL we shared previously with you again but this time visit it in a private or incognito tab to see if you get a different result

    We hope these steps help you solve the problem. If you still can’t save your SEO Title on your site, please let us know.

    Thank you for choosing Rank Math.

    Hi,

    I’ve tried all the points you mentioned and the only problem I’ve found is that an error appears in the console only when I click on the “update” button on my product category, where I can’t save my meta description. Here’s a screenshot of the error: https://imgur.com/a/PdeMrr6

    Could you please tell me how to solve this problem ?

    Thank you for your work.

    Best,

    Today’s Rank Math update seems to have fixed the error. Thanks for all your hard work!
