My website is facing some issues regarding the focus keyword. Whenever I put a focus keyword for articles, it gets removed automatically after publishing it.
Kindly help me fix it. I think my traffic is getting affected due to this. I have already talked with my hosting but they are saying it’s a plugin issue.

Hello,
I’m sorry to hear that you’re facing issues with the focus keyword getting removed automatically after publishing your articles. This can indeed impact your website’s traffic.
The issue you’re experiencing could be due to plugin conflicts or JavaScript-related errors. To troubleshoot this, you can start by checking for plugin conflicts by following the steps in our knowledgebase article on plugin conflict.
If you’ve already gone through the plugin conflict tutorial and still couldn’t find any conflict, you can proceed to diagnose JavaScript-related errors from the JavaScript Console. You can follow the steps outlined in our guide on using your browser to diagnose JavaScript errors.
If you’re using Chrome, you can open the console panel in Chrome Developer Tools by navigating to More Tools → Developer Tools from the Chrome menu. Then click the Console tab. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut, Cmd + Option + J (in Mac) or Ctrl + Shift + J (in Windows, Linux) to open the Chrome console panel.
And then click the Console tab as shown below.
If you’re using a different browser, such as Safari, Opera, or Firefox, you can refer to relevant tutorials for diagnosing JavaScript errors.
Please try these steps and let us know if you need further assistance. If you’re unable to resolve the issue, please assign this ticket to a human agent for further support.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Kindly checkHello,
Could you please confirm if all the changes you have made are saving properly? Or just the keywords?
If so, please check if you are using a Firewall as it may prevent saving the changes by whitelisting this route:
/wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateMeta

Thank you.
I am using cloudflare CDN.
Is it the possible reason??All the chages are saved only the focus keyword got erased evertytime
Hello,
Yes, this is very possible – and it is most likely that Cloudflare is blocking some of our REST API requests, to be certain this is not the case, please follow this guide to whitelist Rank Math routes in Cloudflare: https://rankmath.com/kb/whitelist-rank-math-in-cloudflare/
Thank you for your patience and cooperation. Looking forward to hearing back from you.
I have tried everything but its not resolved.
Should i delete the Rankmath and again install it freshHello,
Yes, you can try reinstalling the Rank Math plugin.
Please note that all of the data you have already configured in Rank Math are saved in your database, so there shouldn’t be any data loss upon doing so.
If the issue still persists, then assuming you are using the latest version of all the plugins and the themes (please update if not yet), this can be caused by conflicting plugins or theme on your site.
To determine that, please follow this troubleshooting guide:
https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/Here is a video you can follow as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcIWRhcUP2c
Only the site admin would know and your users won’t be affected by this troubleshooting.
Let us know how this goes.
If i delete the plugin and reinstall it will i need to export the settings and then import it or it will automatically do the things?????
Hello,
No you do not need to export the settings and then import it if you delete the plugin and reinstall it as all the data and the settings associated to Rank Math is stored in your website’s database.
However deleting and reinstalling will not resolve this issue.
In this case we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
