 * Hi,
 * Can you confirm you are using the latest version of Yoast SEO for WordPress v16.0.2
   and WordPress v5.7 on your website?
 * If you’ve entered a meta description in the Yoast SEO meta box, and after saving
   or updating the post, the data you entered disappeared or did not save, it’s 
   most likely that there is a plugin or theme conflict.
 * Just to be sure, we would like to rule out any plugin or theme conflicts that
   may occur. The fastest way to do this is to **deactivate all non-Yoast plugins
   and switch to a standard theme** like [Twenty Nineteen](https://wordpress.org/themes/twentynineteen/).
 * Test this on your development or staging site, if you have one. If not, we recommend
   using the [Health Check & Troubleshooting](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
   plugin. This plugin allows you to run a conflict check **without affecting normal
   visitors to your site**.
 * As we can imagine that 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](https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts/).
 * If you do not feel comfortable to do this yourself or if this does not solve 
   your issue, our [Yoast SEO Premium plugin](https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo/)
   comes with one year of (technical) support.
