Yoast not saving Google Meta Data

Hello @azlivin008

Thanks for reaching out.

Please provide us with screenshots that highlight the issue you are experiencing. You can use any image-sharing service like https://pasteboard.co/, https://snag.gy/, https://imgur.com/, https://snipboard.io/, or even upload the screenshot to your own website. Once you upload it to an image-sharing service, please share the link to the image here.

Here are 3 screenshots of trying to add meta data to https://golfat55.com/heritage-asante/homes-for-sale/

1. I created the google meta data (title & description): https://golfat55.com/wp-content/uploads/capture-yoast-1.jpg
2. Saved the page, then closed the page: https://golfat55.com/wp-content/uploads/capture-yoast-2.jpg
3. When I go back to the page, no meta data was saved, and it did not write to the meta data on the page: https://golfat55.com/wp-content/uploads/capture-yoast-3.jpg

Thanks for the screenshots. I couldn’t find a meta description tag in the page source while the title is different from what’s in your screenshot:

<title>HA1 Homes - GolfAt55.com</title>

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

If you feel uncomfortable doing this yourself or if this does not solve your issue, our Yoast SEO Premium plugin comes with one year of (technical) support.

I tried disabling the plugins and they were not the issue. The changes to metadata was not written to the page, and was not saved after I closed the page and went back into it.

I cannot disable the theme, as this is an active site. The theme that is being used is a very basic FSE theme called VisualBusiness.

Unfortunately, I needed to get to a solution, so I had to uninstall Yoast and go to a different SEO plugin. Thank you for your assistance, I’m sorry we could not find a solution.

Hello @azlivin008

I understand not wanting to switch the theme on an active site. That’s why I recommend using the?Health Check & Troubleshooting?plugin. This plugin has a troubleshooting mode, which?does not affect normal visitors to your site.
