Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with saving SEO updates for your blog posts. This can happen due to a few common reasons. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:
1. Plugin Conflicts
There may be conflicts with other plugins that prevent Rank Math from saving your SEO details. You can check for plugin conflicts by following our guide on plugin conflict.
2. JavaScript-Related Errors
JavaScript errors can also cause issues when saving metadata. You can diagnose these errors by checking the JavaScript Console in your browser. Here’s how to do it in Chrome:
- Open Developer Tools by navigating to More Tools → Developer Tools.
- Click on the Console tab.

If there are any errors listed, they may provide insight into what is causing the issue.

3. Firewall Blocked Access to the File
If you are using a firewall, it might be blocking access to Rank Math files necessary for saving data. Check if Rank Math is being blocked and whitelist the following files if necessary:
/wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateMeta
/wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateSchemas
/wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateRedirection
/wp-json/rankmath/v1/getFeaturedImageId
/wp-json/rankmath/v1/getHead
You can refer to your firewall documentation for instructions on how to whitelist these files.
4. Cloudflare Settings (if applicable)
If you are using Cloudflare, you may need to create page rules to disable security for the Rank Math files mentioned above. You can find more information on how to do this in our documentation.
If you have tried these steps and are still unable to save your SEO details, please reply to this ticket with any error messages you find in the console or additional details about your setup, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.
Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention!
