I am having the same problem. I cannot save SEO settings on Pages, although Posts are fine.
I’m using the latest version of WordPress (3.9.1).
I’m also using the latest version of Twenty-Thirteen theme, with a child theme that just has the style and footer files in it.
Please help!
Yes I am having the same problem, works fine on posts but not on pages.
Any help would be great.
Do I have to revert to an older version of Yoast SEO for the time being?
UPDATE: I think I have found what is causing the issue.
I have been able to edit some pages meta details but not others and on the database the only difference I can find is is in the wp_posts -> post_type column
The ones that can be edited have the post_type set as ‘page’ once but the ones that can’t have it appears twice so 2 rows. Does this mean there is a conflict in revisions?
P.S. This a wild guess!
Same problem for me !! Using WP 3.9.1 and Sunspot theme and it’s quite an issue :/
Finally got it working hope this solves it for everybody else. I needed to make sure I had a template layout selected for the pages.
So on quick edit choose something for template like default.
Yippee!
Well done ! It works ! Thanks a lot !
The same problem! No SEO for pages, I cannot save settings as well. Can anybody help me?
Yes, having a template layout at ‘Quick Edit’ stage works for me too! Thanks. 🙂
@jammy to go some websites have page builder or other page templates, you can not use default all the time, besides that we are talking about Yoast Titles which one is different from the normal title, so it is not solved at all, problem is still there
Yes I am aware of this. ‘Default’ was as just an example. But are you still having the same problem choosing another template ‘page’, ‘page-wider’ or any name rather than having it blank.
Since I am not the developer it’s hard to say, but perhaps when saving your meta data in a post or page it is also looking for a template setting value as well. If it isn’t found it isn’t saved.
It would be good to have some feedback from the developer regarding this…
Ok so I had the same issue and could not change any meta data on old published pages only new ones.
So this fix worked for me…..
The problem is the _wp_page_template in the wp_postmeta table. This was being saved to a previous themes template name.
You can change the following line of code in wp-admin/includes/meta-boxes.php:
if ( ‘page’ == $post->post_type && 0 != count( get_page_templates( $post ) ) ) {
on line 742 to the following:
if ( ‘page’ == $post->post_type ) {
This will force the page attributes to display “Default Template”. When saving the page this will then update the value in the DB.
The actual line which causes the problem is: $page_templates = wp_get_theme()->get_page_templates( $post ); which is in wp-includes/post.php. This returns blank and then fails to run update_post_meta();
Hope this helps you.
