Trying to edit snippet and the changes won’t save

    Hi,
    I’m working on a wordpress site for a client and just installed rank math. I’m trying to edit the snippet for the homepage as there’s currently no description at all. I’ve tried several times now to add the description but the changes never save. I’ll attach a link to a screen recording in the sensitive data below so you can see what I mean. I don’t think there’s any plugin conflicts, I tried deactivating a few to see but it made no difference. I didn’t get any js errors, and I don’t think there’s a firewall issue.

    It might be something silly I’m missing, but I’d appreciate your help.

    Thanks.

  • Hello,

    I’m sorry to hear that you are facing issues saving the changes to the snippet on your WordPress site after installing Rank Math. If you have ruled out plugin conflicts and JavaScript errors, there might be another reason causing this issue.

    Since you mentioned that you don’t think it’s a firewall issue, I recommend checking for any JavaScript-related errors using the Developer Tools Console in Chrome. This can help identify if there are any specific errors preventing the changes from being saved.

    Here are the steps to check for JavaScript errors in Chrome:

    1. Open the Developer Tools Console Panel by navigating to More ToolsDeveloper Tools from the Chrome menu.
    2. Click on the Console tab to view any JavaScript-related errors.

    If you encounter any errors in the console, please take a screenshot and share them with us. If you don’t see any errors or need further assistance, feel free to reach out by opening a support ticket here. Our support team will assist you in resolving the issue promptly.

    No errors in console.

    Hello,

    Apologies for the inconvenience.

    In this case, please check if you are using a Firewall as it may prevent saving the changes.

    If you are using a Firewall, please whitelist this route:

    /wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateMeta
    /wp-json/rankmath/v1/saveModule

    My client is using a plugin called Slider Revolution to create full page sliders of photographs – including the homepage. This is the page I have trouble updating the snippet on. Just tried it on another regular page and it works fine. So I’m thinking it’s a conflict between these 2 plugins. What do you think?

    Hello,

    In this case, you can follow this guideline to check if this plugin is conflicting with Rank Math or not: https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/

    Only the site admin would know and your users won’t be affected by this troubleshooting.

    Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.
