can’t update focus keyword

    I am testing Rank Math and has setup to use the focus keywords from the title of my post.
    Only when I want to edit the focus keyword of a single post the SEO score is updated only when I refresh the page or return back to wp-admin and open the post again the focus keywords won’t be saved.

    I found this knowledge base article:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/meta-data-not-saving/

    And checked for conflicted plugins but that’s no issue.
    I don’t use a firewall plugin only iThemes but when I disable that plugin the issue still exists.
    There are no javascript errors on the edit post page.
    I use cloudflare and have whitelisted the page rule as mentioned in the article.

    But the issue still persists.

    When I go in the browser to the page: /wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateMeta
    I get this message:
    {“code”:”rest_no_route”,”message”:”Geen route gevonden die overeenkomt met de URL en aanvraagmethode.”,”data”:{“status”:404}}

    How can I solve this 404 error? Because I think that is the problem why the focus keywords doesn’t get saved.

    Hello,

    We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP 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):

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Hello,

    I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    I was able to replicate the issue even with the default .htaccess.

    Can you please check with your server firewall and ensure that you have whitelisted our API files? You may refer to our guide about it here: https://rankmath.com/kb/meta-data-not-saving/

    If the issue persists, please let us know and we will escalate this ticket to our developers.

    Looking forward to helping you.
