but I just can’t seem to make any changes to the Title tags on any pages any
more. I have edited them previously. No error is displayed. Just doesn’t save
changes.

* Hello Kitka,
* I am sorry that changes made to your title are not being saved. The current title
of the homepage is ` Glenlyon General Store - serving great food wine &
gin, Daylesford Victoria`. Is this the correct title or do you want to
change that?
* Furthermore, do you mean that when you turn OFF all other plugins and switch
to a default theme, your changes are still not saved? you are unable to make
changes to your

* Hi [@kitka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kitka/)
* Thanks for providing this video. We understand that the SEO title isn’t updating
as expected. Could you [open your browser’s console where this issue happens and check for any JS errors in red](https://yoast.com/help/how-to-find-javascript-errors-with-your-browsers-console/)?
* Often, we see problems occur in combination with another plugin or theme. The
fastest way to rule out any conflict, is to **deactivate all non-Yoast plugins
and switch to a standard theme** like [Twenty Twenty](https://wordpress.org/themes/twentytwenty/).
* Please 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 has a troubleshooting mode, which **does not affect 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](https://yoast.com/help/how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts/)

* Hi,
I see this error: Uncaught TypeError: $ is not a function at HTMLDocument.
((index):132:7) at e (jquery.min.js?ver=3.6.0:2:30038) at t (jquery.
min.js?ver=3.6.0:2:30340)
* When I switch to the default theme I don’t see that error, BUT I am still unable
to edit the Title field.

* Hey [@kitka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kitka/),
* The “$ is not a function” error is related to jQuery code being old and no longer
compatible. Please know that WordPress is changing how it’s enqueuing jQuery (
and jQuery Migrate), so I do expect that somewhere in a plugin, theme, or custom
code, you have this.
* I do see that you run a custom theme, so do check with your theme/site developer
to investigate these jQuery-related issues and if fixed, if you can update content
and titles as expected.
