Rank Math does not save Settings

#466461

    Rank Math free

    The Rank Math Plugin unfortunately does not save the settings in WordPress after editing and updating the site. Before we have used Yoast SEO, but we deleted it completely from the FTP server and the server database before we installed rank math. Right from the beginning no settings could be saved, although no conflicting plug ins were active (already checked that). We cannot eliminate a theme problem.

    Hi Sakib,

    thanks so much für your quick reply. We have already checked for 1. and 2. but with no success. For point 3 we would need to ask for support from our domain-provider, which isn’t that easy.

    Is it possible that you can check our WordPress-Dashboard in order to identy the problem?

    Thanks and have a great weekend!

    Hello,

    Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

    Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.
    Sensitive Data Section

    It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

    You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Hi Jaideep,

    thanks! I have installed the Temporary Login Plugin. I have one question though: Which email adress am I to use for your temporary login?

    Hello,

    You can use s******@r*********** in the the email field to generate temporary login.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    perfect. Here is the temporary Login: [MOVED TO SENSITIVE DATA SECTION]

    It is vald for one day afterthe first Login.

    Thanks!

    Hello,

    I checked your site. Initially, tried to enable modules and making minor changes to the settings, and indeed the settings are not being saved.

    #1 ~ On initial troubleshooting,
    I found that one of the REST Route from Rank Math is being blocked somehow on your site. Please check the screenshot in the sensitive data section.

    Blocked route: /wp-json/rankmath/v1/saveModule
    

    #2~ On step two of troubleshooting,
    I found that the following URL is redirecting to the homepage in your case.

    https://yoursite.com/wp-json/rankmath/v1/saveModule
    

    Which means the REST API from WordPress is possibly not enabled for your site.

    Since we rely on that for our functions, the REST API should be working to function everything properly.

    As the REST API usually is enabled by default, it must be disabled somehow on your environment. To resolve this issue, kindly try enabling it back to see if that works for you.

    Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.
