Editor Role Cannot Access Rank Math – Capabilities Not Saving

    Hi Rank Math Team,

    I’m experiencing a persistent issue with the Role Manager. Even though I enable all capabilities for the “Editor” role in the Rank Math Role Manager and click “Update Capabilities”, the changes are not saved – when I return to the page, the boxes are unchecked again.

    This used to work just fine, but the issue appeared recently, possibly after a plugin update.

    I discovered that the capability saving only works if I temporarily deactivate Wordfence, WP Fastest Cache, and Complianz. With any of these plugins active, the changes made in the Role Manager do not persist after saving.

    It seems there may be a conflict between Rank Math and one or more of these plugins that prevents capabilities from being stored properly.

    How can I ensure that capabilities are saved and editors have access to Rank Math without disabling these plugins permanently?

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Best regards,
    Tomas

  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with the Role Manager in Rank Math. It sounds like there may indeed be a conflict with the plugins you mentioned, which is preventing the capabilities from being saved properly.

    Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

    1. Check for Plugin Conflicts: Since you noticed that deactivating Wordfence, WP Fastest Cache, and Complianz allows the settings to save, try deactivating them one by one to identify which specific plugin is causing the conflict. This will help narrow down the issue.

    2. Update Plugins: Ensure that all your plugins, including Rank Math, are updated to their latest versions. Sometimes, compatibility issues arise from outdated plugins.

    3. Clear Cache: If you are using caching plugins like WP Fastest Cache, make sure to clear the cache after making changes in the Role Manager. This can sometimes resolve issues where changes do not appear to take effect.

    4. Check User Permissions: Ensure that your user account has the necessary permissions to make changes in the Role Manager. Sometimes, user roles can be misconfigured.

    5. Use Default Settings: If the problem persists, consider resetting the Role Manager settings to default and then reconfiguring them. You can do this by using the Reset option in the Role Manager settings.

    6. Contact Plugin Support: If you identify a specific plugin causing the conflict, consider reaching out to their support team for assistance or check their documentation for any known issues with Rank Math.
