Why Rank Math’s Meta Box is Not Showing?

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with Rank Math’s Meta Box not showing in your articles or pages. This can be frustrating, but there are a few steps you can take to resolve this issue.

Possible Reasons and Solutions:

1. Meta Box Disabled: The Meta Box may be disabled for the specific post type or taxonomy. To enable it:

   • Navigate to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta in your WordPress dashboard.
   • Select the post type (e.g., Posts, Pages) where you want the Meta Box to appear.
   • Scroll down to find the Add SEO Controls option and enable it.
     

2. Classic Editor Settings: If you are using the Classic Editor, ensure that the Meta Box is enabled in the Screen Options:

   • Click on Screen Options at the top-right of your screen.
   • Check the Rank Math SEO checkbox.
     

3. Multiple Meta Boxes: If you have multiple Meta Boxes (for example, when using advanced custom fields), you may need to adjust their priority. You can add a filter to your theme’s functions.php file to set Rank Math’s Meta Box priority:

   add_filter( 'rank_math/metabox/priority', function( $priority ) {
      return 'low';
   });

After making these changes, check your articles or pages again to see if the Meta Box appears. If it still does not show up, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.

Thank you for raising this concern!
