Unable to save Yoast SEO information

[bobbingwide]

With oik-loader active, when I edited a post that's associated with Component: AI Auto Tool
it appears that saving the post doesn't save the Yoast SEO meta information for Focus Keyphrase and Meta Description.

Not sure why not.

For another post https://wp-secrets.co.uk/ai-auto-tool-about-10-web-ai-assistant/ the problem occurred even when I didn't choose a Component or when I set it to another component - 10 web.

I think I can explain the problem associated with setting it to another component!

I think I can explain the problem associated with setting it to another component!

On second thoughts I can't. oik-loader doesn't regenerate its mapping on the fly. So it would seem that we can't blame any dynamically loaded plugin since there wasn't one to load.

Here's another post where the Yoast data isn't being saved.

None of the Yoast SEO post meta fields are being set.

There are several more posts which exhibit this behaviour. I'll have to try to reproduce the problem in a local environment.
Perhaps it's time to clone wp-secrets.co.uk

I cloned the site and was unable to reproduce locally.
So I retested in the live site with trace enabled.
I noticed the response to https://wp-secrets.co.uk/wp-admin/post.php?post=3678&action=edit&meta-box-loader=1&meta-box-loader-nonce=b5ebbb8782&_locale=user
was a 500 internal server error.

Need to look at the error log!

With WP_DEBUG set to true there were two warnings followed by a Fatal error.

Site cloned. Now to attempt to reproduce the problem on https://wp-secrets.co.uk/sorting-a-list-of-ai-tools-in-ascending-order/
and https://s.b/wp55/tt4/some-ai-fails-and-successes/3678/

Looks like SiteGround have been having a play. They've changed the title of this post.
But the meta description and focus keyphrase are still empty.
