Hello,
I’m sorry to hear that you are facing issues with the Basic SEO section not showing up on your posts or pages after switching from Yoast to Rank Math.
To ensure that the Basic SEO section appears on your posts and pages, please follow these steps:
- Navigate to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta from your WordPress dashboard.
- Select the post type where you wish to add the missing Meta Box (e.g., Pages).
- Scroll down and locate the Add SEO Controls option and make sure it is enabled.
If you have already checked these settings and the issue persists, please ensure that you have selected the correct post type and taxonomy in the Titles & Meta settings as shown in the screenshots below:


If after following these steps you still encounter the issue, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.
Thank you for reaching out.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that this issue might have caused.
Please ensure you are using the latest version of the plugin: https://rankmath.com/changelog
If you are and the issue persists, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.
It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:
