Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing. To exclude Rank Math settings from certain backend areas, such as user profiles, you can use the Role Manager feature of the Rank Math SEO plugin. This feature allows you to restrict access to various Rank Math functionalities based on user roles.
Here’s how you can do it:
- Navigate to Rank Math > Role Manager in your WordPress dashboard.
- Select the user role you want to modify.
- You will see a list of Rank Math functions that you can enable or disable for that specific role.
- Disable the settings you don’t want that user role to access, such as Titles and Meta Settings, General Settings, etc.
- Click on the Update Capabilities button to save your changes.
This will effectively hide the Rank Math settings from the selected user roles in the backend, including user profiles.
For more detailed guidance, you can refer to our tutorial on using the Role Manager feature here.
If you need further assistance or a more comprehensive setup, we recommend our professional setup service, which ensures your plugin is configured correctly according to the latest SEO standards. You can find more information about this service at Rank Math Services.
Thank you for raising this concern! If you have any more questions or need additional help, feel free to reply to this ticket.

How to Use the Role Manager Feature of Rank Math SEO Plugin
Hello,
While the Role Manager is an excellent feature, it does not solve this issue. If the Role Manager had a selector for “User Profile” or “Author” settings, I’d switch that off for everyone and we’d be good. But I’m not seeing that …
Thanks!
Ralf
Hello,
The SEO metabox must be enabled on your site if it’s appearing while editing your user profiles.
To disable that, head over to Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Author and disable this option
Looking forward to helping you.
Yes, that worked, thank you!
