SEO title and focus keyword changing issue

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with saving the SEO title, meta description, and focus keyword in Rank Math. This can happen due to a few common reasons:

1. Plugin Conflicts

There may be conflicts with other plugins that prevent Rank Math from saving your changes. You can troubleshoot this by following our guide on checking for plugin conflicts.

2. JavaScript-Related Errors

JavaScript errors can also cause issues when saving metadata. You can check for these errors using the JavaScript Console in your browser. Here’s how to do it in Chrome:

• Open Developer Tools by navigating to More Tools → Developer Tools 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.

If you see any errors, they might indicate a conflict with a plugin or theme.

3. Firewall Blocked Access to the File

If you are using a firewall, it might be blocking access to the necessary files for Rank Math. Check if Rank Math is being blocked and whitelist the following files if necessary:

/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

You can refer to your firewall documentation for instructions on how to whitelist these files.

If you have tried these steps and the issue persists, 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!
