cannot save seo changes

    When I added the plugin, setup said there were no plugin conflicts and the program was compatible (I have very few plugins).

    I cannot, however save SEO edits. I can enter the data and press save, but it does not save and I get no error message. I called GoDaddy to see if there was something at their end, perhaps a firewall issue, but they say there is not.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.

    I logged in to your website and created a draft post and added a meta description and focus keyword to the post, it looks like access to this file is getting blocked:
    /wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateMeta?_locale=user
    update

    If you are using Cloudflare or any security plugin, you should whitelist the file in Cloudflare and Firewall, if that does not help I would recommend contacting your hosting support, to check if something is blocking access to that file.

    Here is a guide you can follow to fix this issue:

    I hope this helps. Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you. Whitelisting the updateMeta? path on the host’s firewall allowed me to save SEO data.

    Grace
