Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with saving changes to your focus keywords, meta descriptions, and titles. This can happen due to a few common reasons:
-
Plugin Conflicts: There may be conflicts with other plugins that prevent saving. You can check for plugin conflicts by following our guide on plugin conflict.
-
JavaScript-Related Errors: JavaScript errors can also cause issues when saving. 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 or using the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + J (Windows) or Cmd + Option + J (Mac).
- Click on the Console tab to see if there are any errors that might be affecting the saving process. If you find any errors, you may need to troubleshoot them further.



-
Firewall Blocked Access: If you are using a firewall, it might be blocking access to certain files necessary for saving changes. Ensure that Rank Math is whitelisted in your firewall settings.
If you’ve checked these potential issues and are still unable to save your changes, 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!
