Problem remains unresolved.
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math for help with your post meta not updating.
Could you please try temporarily replacing your .htaccess settings with the default WordPress .htaccess settings:
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
If that fixes the issue then you’ll need to review your .htaccess settings.
Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have questions.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
Reverting htaccess to the WP default had no effect on the issue.
Hello,
Are you using Dreamhost as your hosting provider? We ask this because that is one of the very few hosts that use the status code 418 on their request when they are blocked via a firewall and that’s what is happening on your website at the moment.
Here’s more information about the issue: https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/215947927-How-do-I-enable-Extra-Web-Security-for-my-website-
If you are indeed using Dreamhost please get in touch with them about this situation as they will be able to assist further.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
Good call, Jaideep! Turning off mod_securityfixed the problem.
