Hi @glorialfoster,
The slug field in the Yoast SEO metabox allows you to view and change the page name, but this feature isn’t working. Is that correct?
If you’re not able to make changes to the slug using Yoast SEO, we’d like to get more information:
1. Are you using the latest version of Yoast SEO 15.2.1 and are all your plugins and themes updated? If not, does updating solve the problem?
2. Can you check for JavaScript errors in the browser console?
3. If you suspect that another plugin may be interfering with this feature, are you able to identify which plugin causes the problem if you check for conflicts?
I’m using the latest version and have no JavaScript errors. I believe that I already deleted the plugin that I thought would be interfering; so, I am unsure of what plugin that presently could be interfering. Do you think that it makes an difference in tracking the page if there is a difference in the slug and the canonical url?
@glorialfoster Even if you have the canonical URL set to a custom value, you should still be able to edit the slug value.
If you have already confirmed that both Yoast SEO and WordPress are up to date and the issue is still occurring, we would next recommend performing a conflict check to determine whether another plugin or theme is interfering with the Yoast plugin.
The fastest way to do this is to deactivate all non-Yoast plugins and switch to a standard theme like Twenty Nineteen. Test this on your development or staging site, if you have one. If not, we recommend using the Health Check & Troubleshooting plugin. This plugin allows you to run a conflict check without affecting 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.
We are going ahead and marking this issue as resolved due to inactivity. If you require any further assistance please create a new issue.
