Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.
Please get in touch with your host so that they can help in changing the permissions for the files on your root folder.
It is also recommended to rename the robots.txt file that is present on your root folder so that Rank Math can generate a virtual robots file.
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
Hello,
Here is my robot file https://imgur.com/ydRHxdN
here is permissions https://imgur.com/45kWozw
I have filezilla so i can change what you want.
Can you guide me please?
Thanks
Hi Firat,
You just need to delete the file. You don’t need to change the permission on the robots.txt.
You only need to change the permission on the .htaccess file. Please set it as 644 and if that doesn’t work, you can try 755.
Let us know how it goes.
Hello, I have the same problem, I deleted the robots.txt and set the .htaccess to 644 or 755, without success. what else could it be?

Hi Fom,
Did the solution Sakis offered not help? Moreover, it seems like you have firewall enabled on your server which might prevent files from getting overwritten by Rank Math.
With that said, you can make changes directly in those files if you can’t make the changes via Rank Math. It will attain the same result.
Sakis, I am glad you found the solution to this issue.
