Hello,
I’m sorry to hear that you’re facing issues with uploading the featured image while Rank Math is active. This can sometimes happen due to conflicts or settings within the plugin. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:
-
Check for Plugin Conflicts: Since you mentioned that disabling Rank Math allows you to upload images, there might be a conflict with another plugin. Try deactivating other plugins one by one to see if the issue persists.
-
Update Rank Math: Ensure that you are using the latest version of Rank Math. You can update it by going to WordPress Dashboard → Plugins and clicking on Update Now next to Rank Math if an update is available.

-
Check File Permissions: Make sure that your wp-content/uploads
directory has the correct permissions (usually 755 for directories and 644 for files).
-
Review Rank Math Settings: Go to Rank Math → General Settings → Images and ensure that the Image SEO module is configured correctly.
