any help!!

Hello @amrxamr

Thanks for reaching out and I’m sorry for the delay in responding. It seems you already switched to another SEO plugin, so I’ll mark the topic here as resolved.

@maybellyne No, I have not switched to another SEO plugin, and I haven’t resolved the problem yet. Please help me.

Hi @amrxamr

Thank you for the screenshot you shared from the network tab. Can you kindly check the console area and see what issue you face there?

You can follow the help article: How to find JavaScript errors with your browser’s console? and check if there is any error in the console.

If you see error in the console, 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.

Thanks for sharing the console error, @amrxamr. When requesting information from the WordPress REST API, your server returns a 404 Not Found. We received a similar report from other users where the issue was caused by their web host’s security measures.

Please ask your web host to update the ‘mod_security‘ settings that prevent our plugin from accessing the REST API. If there are no ‘mod_security’ settings preventing access at the server, you may have a custom .htaccess rule or security plugin that limits access to the WordPress REST API.

If you have a Web Application Firewall (WAF), like Comodo, please verify that the server does not remove the parameter from the Yoast REST API requests. Some users have reported that some WAF setups are too strict in preventing Blind SQL injection attacks. Your web host or server admin can help you if you’re not familiar with WAF settings on your site.

Are there any settings in your server/firewall that would explain this behavior? If you don’t know how to check this, please reach out to your server administrator or web host. They’ll be able to review your server setup for you.
