How to Change Metabox Position from Sidebar to Below Content

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with the Rank Math metabox position in the Houzez theme. Unfortunately, there isn’t a built-in option in Rank Math to change the metabox position directly through the plugin settings. However, you can achieve this by adding a custom code snippet to your theme’s functions.php file.

Here’s a general approach to move the Rank Math metabox below the content:

1. Access your WordPress Dashboard.
2. Navigate to Appearance > Theme Editor.
3. Open the functions.php file of your active theme.
4. Add the following code snippet at the end of the file:

   add_action( 'edit_form_after_editor', function() {
      if ( 'property' === get_post_type() ) {
          remove_meta_box( 'rank_math_metabox', 'property', 'side' );
          add_meta_box( 'rank_math_metabox', __( 'Rank Math SEO', 'rank-math' ), 'rank_math_metabox_callback', 'property', 'normal', 'high' );
      }
   } );

5. Save the changes.

This code removes the Rank Math metabox from the sidebar and adds it below the content editor for the property custom post type. You can adjust the post type in the code if you want to apply it to other custom post types as well.

Please ensure you have a backup of your site before making changes to the functions.php file, as incorrect modifications can lead to issues with your site.

add_filter( 'rank_math/gutenberg/enabled', '__return_false' );
