Changes to Yoast Meta Data Revert Page Content Changes

Hey @patbirch,

Thank you for using Yoast SEO and for reaching out!

Hmm, this sounds odd. Would you be able to test if:

• This also happens if you activate the parent Divi theme and not your JoDiMor child theme?
• If this also happens if only Yoast SEO is active and other plugins are deactivated? You can also use the Health Check plugin’ troubleshooting mode. See: https://yoast.com/help/how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts/

Do let us know how that goes.

Hi Jeroen, Thank you for the response! I will create a fresh copy and work in a staging environment and then do as you recommend. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Sounds good, do let us know the results.

Hi Jeroen, I made a fresh copy in staging and activated the Divi theme only – no child theme. All plugins except Yoast are deactivated with the exception of Yoast, WP Activity Log, and WP Activity Log for Yoast SEO. The updating is unstable. I updated Yoast meta data; saved the updates. Went into the page content and updated; saved; viewed in browser. When I go back in, the Yoast changes made previously are gone, and it reverts back to the previous Yoast Meta data. The page I was working on was the /services/cushion-cover-replacements/.

@patbirch I understand the Yoast changes made previously are gone and it revert back to previous Yoast meta data. You tested this with only Divi parent theme and Yoast SEO plugin activated and the issue persist.

While this seems a strange issue, we want more information.

Here is a list of additional information that will be helpful while we investigate this issue:

• Have you performed a conflict check? If not, please do so. Did you discover a conflict?
• Does the issue occur when using a default theme with only Yoast plugins active?
• Does the issue occur with the current version of WordPress?
• Does the issue occur with the current version of the Yoast plugins?
• Is the issue specific to a particular part of your site, such as posts, products, categories, etc.?
• Does this problem occur when you use a different browser, like Firefox or Chrome?
• Does the browser show JavaScript errors in your browser’s console? If so, please send us screenshots of the error.
• Does clearing your cache from plugins, the server, a CDN like Cloudflare, or the browser resolve the issue? If you are not sure how to clear cache from a plugin, please get in touch with the author or support team for the plugin. Your web host provider can help you clear cache from the server. We have a guide that will help you?clear your browser cache.
