Yoast meta data disappears

Hi @eoschlotz

It sounds like a conflict. If you have a staging site, can you kindly replicate the issue on your staging site when only Yoast plugin is activated?

Often, we see problems occur in combination with another plugin or theme. The fastest way to rule out any conflict is to deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme like Twenty Twenty-Two.

Please test this on your development or staging site if you have one. If not, we recommend using the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin. This plugin has a troubleshooting mode, which does not affect normal visitors to your site.

If you’re unfamiliar with checking for conflicts, we’d like to point you to a step-by-step guide that will walk you through the process: How to check for plugin conflicts

A client of mine is having this same issue and I’m currently troubleshooting it.

@611shabnam curious if you tracked down the conflict on your end yet?

Not yet. I do not have a staging site and haven’t jumped in to try to debug this live.

One thing I plan to look at, out of sheer desperation, is that the last time I noticed data disappearing was after I received a notice that an UpdraftPlus backup had completed. Probably just a coincidence, but I don’t believe in coincidences in software problems.

I haven’t found anything concrete yet either since I can’t actually replicate it on staging to debug properly. There was an object cache warning in the logs. I was suspecting it might be related to database caching already, but it’s just a guess at this point. I modified the Redis config to exclude yoast_seo from being prefetched to resolve the warning and to see if the issue returns or not.
