Rank math plugin settings are not saving

    I’m experiencing an issue where Rank Math settings are not saving or persisting, despite successful POST requests via the plugin’s REST API. Changes made in the dashboard (titles, meta, schema, etc.) appear to save briefly but revert after refreshing or revisiting the page.

    Changes appear saved immediately but revert after refresh. Schema, titles, and meta data do not reflect updates in front-end output.

    Example: homepage schema <script type="application/ld+json" class="rank-math-schema"> shows both @type: ["Person","Organization"] Simultaneously, even though I set it to Organization only via the Rank Math dashboard (it always reverts back to person)

    My website:

    • WordPress with Oxygen Builder
    • OpenLiteSpeed server with LiteSpeed Cache
    • Cloudflare enabled
    • Latest version of rankmath
    • Other websites with the same setup do not have this issue

    I tried:

    • Cleared all caches (LiteSpeed + Cloudflare)
    • Disabled object cache (no object-cache.php)
    • Regenerated schema and other data via Rank Math tools
    • Verified REST API response (wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateSettings) returns 200 OK
    • Confirmed no other plugin conflicts or database restrictions

    Hi, this is a follow-up which could help to identify the issue:

    I rolled back the plugin to version 1.0.250, and it now works correctly — all settings save and persist as expected.

    Any version above 1.0.250 reproduces the same issue (settings not saving or reverting after refresh). I noticed that versions after 1.0.250 use AJAX-based saving, while version 1.0.250 performs a full page reload to save changes, which might be related to the problem.

    Can you please help me to resolve this issue?

    Hi,

    Thank you for your reply. I have found out new “React Settings UI” is the cause of the issue. After disabling it plugin is working as normal.

    I use the free version of the plugin so is it a possibility to open ticket or get email support?

    PS: When I turn React Settings UI off always this error message is shows everywhere, and it is annoying. “The React Settings UI is currently disabled, and the classic settings interface is active. Note: The PHP-based settings interface will be removed in an upcoming release. Enable the React Settings UI to switch back.”

    Update: I found that the issue was caused by a conflict between Rank Math and ACF. So I resolved the issue now.
