Hello!
I apologize for the inconvenience you are facing with the missing “Edit robots.txt” option in Advanced Mode. To access the “Edit robots.txt” feature in Rank Math, please follow these steps:
- Navigate to Rank Math SEO → General Settings.
- Ensure that you have enabled the Advanced Mode. If you cannot see the “Edit robots.txt” option, it might be because you are using Rank Math in Easy Mode.
To switch to Advanced Mode, please go to your WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO and enable the Advanced Mode as shown in the screenshot below:
After enabling Advanced Mode, you should be able to see the “Edit robots.txt” option under Rank Math SEO → General Settings.
If you encounter any further issues or need additional assistance, please feel free to reach out to our support team by opening a support ticket at Rank Math Support. They will provide you with specific guidance based on your website’s configuration.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this issue for you.
