Dont know why. Only the slug of main page cannot be changed. No issues on other features. I tried clearing the cache and "Reset indexables and migrations" too. somebody help me, please........:weep:
 
I understand your frustration—having the slug of your main page stuck while everything else works fine can be baffling.
 
If you're using a local host like Natro, their support can quickly check server-side cache or rules - potentially saving you time.

It might be a caching or plugin conflict issue; try deactivating plugins one by one to see if any are causing the problem, or check your theme settings for any restrictions on the slug.

Main page? As in, the homepage?
 
You might want to be more specific about the problem,
Is the URL showing something else (ex:/home)?
Is the problem only showing in Google SERPs?
 
Yeah, for homepages, there's usually no slug since it's the root URL. If you're seeing something like /home in the URL, it could be a permalink setting issue or a conflict with your theme/plugins. Maybe try switching to a default theme temporarily to check?

I tried to change Yoast slug for home page on wordpress. however, no matter how many times I updated, and slug still remained empty. btw, I can update slug for other pages.

it's telling you that you cannot have a slug for the home page, it must be empty because it is the root /
It is working as intended.

Unless your site as many pointed out is showing /home then that's NOT the slug that's a setting to serve /home
 
It can be frustrating when the main page slug doesn't update like other pages. This is often because the homepage uses a static page setting or is controlled by your theme try checking your WordPress "Reading" settings and permalink structure for a quick fix.

Trash that trouble-making plugin Deleted member 752298 has a free download of RankMath. Use it instead.
