SEO Changes Not Being Saved Properly

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with your SEO changes not being saved properly. Thank you for raising this concern.

Since you’ve already checked the developer tools and found no blocked issues, here are a few other common causes that might be affecting the saving of your SEO Title, Description, and Focus Keyword:

1. Plugin Conflicts: There may be conflicts with other plugins that could prevent Rank Math from saving your changes. You can check for plugin conflicts by following our guide on plugin conflict.

2. JavaScript-Related Errors: Even if you didn’t find any issues initially, it’s worth double-checking for JavaScript errors that might be affecting the editor. You can diagnose these errors using the JavaScript Console in your browser. Here’s how to open it in Chrome:

   • Navigate to More Tools → Developer Tools from the Chrome menu.
   • Click on the Console tab.
     
     

3. Firewall Blocked Access: If you are using a firewall, it might be blocking access to certain files that Rank Math needs to save your settings. Check if Rank Math is being blocked by your firewall and whitelist it if necessary. You can refer to our guide on unblocking Rank Math from your Firewall.

4. Check REST Route: Ensure that the REST route used by Rank Math is not blocked. You can do this by visiting the following URL in your browser (replace example.com with your domain):
   `https://wordpress.org/support/article/using-your-browser-to-diagnose-javascript-errors/
   If you see a response indicating access is denied, then your firewall is likely causing the issue.

If you’ve gone through these steps 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 your patience, and we look forward to helping you resolve this issue!

Hello,

We’ve checked your site, and it seems that Rank Math routes are getting blocked by your web host (GoDaddy)

In this case, please ask them to whitelist the routes in their firewall by following the steps in this link:

Hello,

If you’re not sure, you can contact your hosting provider and they should be able to whitelist our API routes as mentioned in our guide here: https://rankmath.com/kb/meta-data-not-saving/#firewall

Hope that helps.
