 * This is happening throughout a few of our sites. It’s not a plugin I have checked
   that 3 times. Cleared all cache, everyone is up to date and on php 7.3 or 7.4.
   Users don’t have restrictions, in the gettings all meta boxes should show.
 * Please advise.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fkeyword-focus-gone%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hello [@mengelman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mengelman/),
 * Can you please confirm if you meant that the Yoast metabox to add focus keyword
   is gone or that the focus keywords you have entered are gone?
 * Furthermore, SEO data and plugins settings are stored in the WordPress database.
   Yoast SEO doesn’t have the ability to automatically delete data from your database.
   If you meant that previous keywords are gone, you may want to check that the 
   data you’ve entered in our plugin can still be found in the database. For example,
   the SEO title, meta description, and focus keyphrases are stored in the _postmeta
   table of your database.
 * Looking forward to hearing from you.

 * On my site:[https://pclegko.ru/](https://pclegko.ru/) not all meta blocks are
   also displayed. There is no focal keyword or text rating. I tried all possible
   solutions to the problem: disabled ALL plugins, set theme as default, tried to
   use a new browser. Nothing helped. I am attaching a screenshot at the link: [https://yadi.sk/i/n3nZ9Wexe72Hig](https://yadi.sk/i/n3nZ9Wexe72Hig)

 * [@pclegko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pclegko/) Please create a new 
   issue if you are experiencing a similar problem as this helps us in tracking 
   as this can be caused by many different variables (WordPress version, other plugins,
   etc).

 * [@pclegko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pclegko/) The forum FAQs explain
   the reason behind our request that you open a new topic [here](https://wordpress.org/support/forum-user-guide/faq/#i-have-the-same-problem-can-i-just-reply-to-someone-elses-post-with-me-too).
 * That said, I am confident that the issue is a conflict of some sort. You and 
   the original poster are not likely to be running the exact same plugins and themes.
   Nor are you both using the exact same browser on the same device. This means 
   that while the issue may appear the same; the cause could be completely different.

 * If the cause remains undetermined after checking for conflicts, please [open a new topic](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-seo#new-post)
   detailing the issue and the troubleshooting steps you have completed. This will
   ensure that we can provide you with the best help; in the fastest way.

 * Are you kidding me??? I checked all conflicts, used the default wordpress theme.
   I even deactivated all plugins. I repeat: EVERYTHING IS DONE, THAT ONLY COULD
   BE DONE. I READ YOUR INSTRUCTIONS. DO NOT KEEP ME FOR AN IDIOT PLEASE. I don’t
   know how else to explain to you)))

 * [@pclegko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pclegko/) If you have already 
   checked for plugin/theme conflicts and have already confirmed and the issue is
   still occurring, we would next recommend checking for any Javascript errors that
   are occurring [as described here](https://yoast.com/help/how-to-find-javascript-errors-with-your-browsers-console/).
 * We also have a guide on troubleshooting a blank metabox with additional suggestions
   available at the following link: [https://yoast.com/help/yoastseo-meta-box-is-blank/](https://yoast.com/help/yoastseo-meta-box-is-blank/)
 * Can you please try those suggestions and let us know whether any Javascript errors
   are occurring?

 * I checked java script – no errors. I looked through the console according to 
   your instructions. I do not know what to do…((((((((((((((((((

 * I solved the problem! The problem was user settings. See screenshot: [https://yadi.sk/i/uKdEh-IlX3hMOQ](https://yadi.sk/i/uKdEh-IlX3hMOQ).
 * If the checkboxes are checked, then yoast seo does not work correctly. I do not
   understand why so? After all, the settings relate to the user, not to the publication.
   In any case, I see that many users have the same problem and do not know how 
   to solve it. Add this solution to your help section.

 * [@pclegko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pclegko/) Can you please provide
   a translation of what settings these are? Unfortunately we are only able to provide
   in English.
 * If the settings are related to the settings for the keyword analysis, this article
   should also help serve as a guide for some of the settings: [https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-enable-disable-the-keyword-analysis/](https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-enable-disable-the-keyword-analysis/)
