Elementor / Rankmath not saving keywords

I’m reading in your forum that other person had a similar problem, but I see that all of them have error 403, while instead we have error 404

Hi,

the WP Rest API is enable, I can see this at https://www.doctorsinitaly.com/wp-json/rankmath/v1/

but

https://www.doctorsinitaly.com/wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateMeta gives a 404:

Hi Michael,

the error you show me in the video is not the issue I reported, it says that the domain rankmathapi.com SSL certificate (issued with Let’s Encrypt) has expired yesterday (19/08) at 7:43 in the morning:

https://www.doctorsinitaly.com/rankmathapi_1.png

before the 19/08 that error was not showing. You should update the SSL cert on your rankmathapi.com server. It is not our SSL certificate.

I have further inspected the flow of actions that happens when updating a post with metadata. I see that the API endpoint:

https://www.doctorsinitaly.com/wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateMeta/?_locale=user

is correctly called with POST method to submit the payload with keyword, SEO rank, etc. of the post:

{“objectID”:xxxx (hidden),”objectType”:”post”,”meta”:{“rank_math_seo_score”:26,”rank_math_focus_keyword”:”covid swab test”}}

The API endpoint responds with a 301 redirect to

GET https://www.doctorsinitaly.com/wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateMeta/?_locale=user

which returns error because that endpoint accepts only POST calls, as specified in the API schema that appears at

https://www.doctorsinitaly.com/wp-json/rankmath/v1/

So the error I initially reported possibly is not relevant to the problem.

Are there any logs that report what happens when the POST call is done?

Thank you,

Max

Hello Uzair, thank your for your help. Unfortunately no, it’s not working.
I tried both inside elementor (using the SEO tab) and outside, from the dashboard. It does not retain the settings.
Just to let you know: the first two attempts to update the page after changing the rankmath settings for SEO, brought to a 401 and 400 errors.

Thank you!
Francesco
