Can you please clear your cache from your plugin, theme, server, browser, or CDN such as Cloudflare?

Can you please check if there are any JavaScript errors in your browser’s console when you try to save the changes you made? This KB article explains how to do so: How to find JavaScript errors with your browser’s console?

If there are JavaScript errors, please run a conflict check to determine if a plugin or your theme is causing this.

There is an option to turn on/off the readability and keyword analysis. Can you please check whether they are enabled for you? You can find this on the left menu under Yoast SEO -> Dashboard > Features (tab).

Please also confirm that the SEO and Readability are enabled on the posts? You can check by going to SEO->Titles and Metas->Post Type and seeing that the Yoast SEO Meta box says “show”?

Additionally, please check that your admin hasn’t disabled the SEO and Readability analysis for your user (under “Users > All Users”).

The Yoast SEO plugin creates sitemaps on the fly which means that sitemaps are updated automatically when you add, edit, or delete content. If that doesn’t happen, it could be that the cache functionality on your site prevents the sitemaps from updating automatically. Please clear your server’s cache and disable all caching for all .xml and all .xsl files. You may find this kb article helpful: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/sitemap-does-not-update/

This error indicates you have a redirect loop which means the page is being redirected to itself. Are you running Yoast SEO Premium? Can you please go to SEO > Redirects and search for the post or page slug that should not redirect? You just have to remove that.

Can you please try running a conflict check? Your theme or some other plugins may have contributed to this issue.

The readability score is just a validation in the Yoast SEO plugin. If you think you’re doing it right and the plugin isn’t scoring your site’s readability correctly, you can just ignore it. It’s not at all bad if you don’t get a green bullet in Yoast SEO. Please refer here to learn more.

What did you do right before you encountered the problem? To temporarily fix it, access your site via FTP, go to the plugins folder and rename the Yoast SEO folder into something else. If it’s the Yoast SEO plugin that’s causing the issue, renaming it to something else should fix the issue.

Have you tried using another browser? Is it still the same? You may need to clear your browser’s cache and cookies as well.

There’s really no ‘this number is right’ in this. It depends on what Google adds to your search result and how much they want to show. If you’re using the Yoast WooCommerce SEO plugin, it has a feature that lets you do a length-test for the products short description. It gives a soft error when a short description is too long.

If it’s a theme feature that generates the duplicate description, please get in touch with your theme developer and have them disable that. Otherwise, you can use another theme that won’t do that.

There’s none. If you’ve set variables under SEO > Titles and Metas, the variables you set will apply globally. But if you go to each of your posts and pages to add the titles and metas individually, it will overwrite the variables you set. Please refer to this link to learn more.

Please make sure you’re running the latest version of WordPress (4.8) and Yoast SEO (5.0.2). If both are updated, this could be caused by a plugin or theme conflict. Please run a conflict check.

The sitemap looks for images attached to the post or page and it filters out thumbnails of the same image.

It’s possible these tags are inserted by another plugin. Please run a conflict check.
