SEO Meta Description Not saving

#850725

    Hi,

    Im having issues with a site I developed (moragas.com). When I edit a post it tells me that the there is no meta description. I click the button ‘edit snippet’ to add a metadesc, but when the popup opens I can see that there already is a metadesc, but for some reason it doesn’t recognise it. If update the metadesc, like for example deleting and re-typing a single character the system notices that the metadesc is full.

    But then if I save the post it just resets to the initial position, where it says there is no metadesc, but if you go to add one you see that its already there.

    I’ll give you acces to the backoffice, but I need you to give me a mail address to assign it to.

    Thanks,
    Lluc,

  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with saving the SEO meta description on your site. It sounds frustrating, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

    There are a few common causes for this issue:

    1. Plugin Conflicts: Sometimes, other plugins can conflict with Rank Math, preventing it from saving the SEO Title, Description, and Focus Keyword. 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 metadata. You can diagnose these errors by checking the JavaScript Console in your browser. Here’s how to do it in Chrome:

      • Open the 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 Rank Math.
        Open Developer Tools
        Open 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 function properly. Ensure that Rank Math is whitelisted in your firewall settings.

    If you have already checked these potential issues and are still experiencing problems, please reply to this ticket with any error messages you find in the console, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.

    Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to resolving this issue for you soon!

    I already went through your forums and looked at theese possible problems, none of them appear to be the cause for my problem

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting support.

    Is this from a CPT on the website?

    Please note that if the CPT doesn’t include support for things like editor and other default behavior of the posts and pages the preview won’t be able to show correctly.

    That won’t prevent the metadata from showing correctly on the source code, but the preview cannot be generated without it.

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.

    Hi,

    Okay, I see, If its only a preview problem it doesn’t really bother me.

    Thanks for the help!

    I had this problem and for me it was because I was using a custom post type which didn’t support the ‘Editor’. The default editor needs to be present for the calculation to save.
