As an update to this, there are still JS errors in the console after making a change to force the inclusion of common.js and post-metabox.js on the WP 4 admin page.
You can try it for yourself of course, but it appears to be related to moving the RM interface closer to a React App with a <div> having the “RankMathApp” id and checks with wp.hooks (using the new method “hasFilter”) for JS filters which are only available in the latest version of WP 5.
Does Rankmath still even work on WP 5 for users running the classic editor I wonder?
Do you have a plan or a statement for the WP < 5 and now the Classicpress community? There are 1000’s of us that would like to know if this is something you’re going to address. Thanks.
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
I have just submitted this issue to our dev team for closer investigation and we will be getting back to you in a short while.
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

I’d also like to know whether you will be continuing to support WP < 5 (and ClassicPress which is fully compatible with WP 4.9.10).
I installed Rank Math due to favourable mentions on the ClassicPress forums and indications that you’d be willing to support it. I’d hate to have to uninstall Rank Math due to lack of compatibility with WP <5.
Given the dominance of Yoast and their close ties to Automattic and Yoast’s abandonment of WP < 5, continuing to support the large number of WP (and ClassicPress) users unwilling to adopt WP5+ would attract a lot of users (and goodwill!)
