Open Graph and social meta toggle checkboxes in the Search Atlas WordPress plugin were reverting to enabled after every save. This bug has been fixed — updating to the latest plugin version resolves the issue immediately.

🔍 What's Happening

The following nine checkboxes under the plugin's Open Graph and social settings could not be turned off:

  • Open Graph meta tags
  • Facebook meta tags
  • Twitter meta tags
  • OG image dimensions
  • Article timestamps
  • Article author
  • Article section
  • Article tags
  • Twitter image alt

After unchecking any of these options and saving, the page reloaded with all checkboxes re-enabled. The settings were never stored, making it impossible to disable these features through the WordPress admin.

🛠️ How to Apply the Fix

Update the Search Atlas WordPress plugin to the latest version. The fix ships in this release — no additional configuration is needed after updating.

  1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
  2. Go to Plugins → Installed Plugins or Dashboard → Updates.
  3. Locate the Search Atlas plugin and click Update Now.
  4. Once the update completes, navigate back to your OG and social settings.
  5. Uncheck the desired options and click Save. The unchecked state will now persist correctly.

📡 Engineering Status

The root cause of this bug has been identified and resolved. The fix is included in the latest release of the Search Atlas WordPress plugin and is available to all users now. No further action is required beyond updating the plugin.
