That sounds like a plugin or theme conflict. Can you try and gather as much information for us as possible? Please perform the following:
1. Make sure the issue doesn’t persist when Yoast SEO is disabled.
2. Check for conflicts.
3. Check for JavaScript errors with your console.
If you find any JavaScript errors related to Yoast SEO or if there is a conflict with a plugin or a theme, you can create a new GitHub issue for our developers. Please report the issue to a third party developer as well.
If you didn’t find any conflicts or errors, we think the issue is specific to your site. We’d need to investigate further but are unable to do so on these forums. You can purchase Yoast SEO Premium and receive our Premium email support and we can help you further.
Thanks for your reply 🙂
My apologies for being so unclear. What I meant is that the option to add a slug within Yoast on my home page is not saving when i type it in and press update.
Please could you advise or if I need to carry out any of the above.
Thanks 🙂
Hi @ontheball1,
The homepage will always have the address which you have set in Settings → General, in your WordPress dashboard. You cannot select a slug for the homepage, it wouldn’t be a homepage anymore if that was possible. Please note this is the default WordPress behavior, it is not specific to Yoast SEO.
We hope to have cleared things up for you and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any further questions.
Sorry to resurrect this one, but I have a situation where Yoast won’t accept a slug for the front page and WP editor won’t save without one.
Why does WP editor make the slug a mandatory field for front page? If no slug is entered, the editor auto-adds one based on the page title.
I use Yoast SEO Premium, which seems to have the complete opposite approach. The field for slug in the Yoast settings will not hold a value. If a slug is entered, it’s auto-removed when the page is updated.
I want to remove the slug completely, but it does not appear to be possible.
Suggestions please.
