Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with updating the meta title and meta description on your website. Here are some common causes and solutions that might help you resolve this issue:
1. Plugin Conflicts
There may be conflicts with other plugins that prevent you from saving the SEO Title, Description, and Focus Keyword. You can troubleshoot this by following our guide on checking for plugin conflicts.
2. JavaScript-Related Errors
JavaScript errors can also cause issues when trying to save your meta tags. You can diagnose these errors using the JavaScript Console in your browser. Here’s how to check for JavaScript errors in Chrome:
- Open Developer Tools by navigating to More Tools → Developer Tools from the Chrome menu.
- Click on the Console tab.

If you see any errors listed there, they may be affecting your ability to save changes.
3. Theme Issues
Sometimes, the theme you are using may also interfere with saving meta tags. You can try switching to a default WordPress theme temporarily to see if that resolves the issue.
4. Server-Side Caching
If you have caching enabled on your server or through a caching plugin, it might be serving an old version of your site. Clear your cache and try again.
If you have tried these steps and are still unable to update your meta tags, we recommend considering our professional setup service for comprehensive assistance. You can find more information about this service at Rank Math Professional Setup Service. This service requires a PRO subscription and is designed to ensure your plugin setup is fully correct and adheres to the latest SEO standards.
Thank you for raising this concern, and we hope this helps you resolve the issue! If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent will take over from there.
