Hello,
Thank you for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
For initial troubleshooting, please check if you are using a Firewall as it may prevent saving the changes. If you are using a Firewall, please whitelist this route:
/wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateMeta
For more information on this issue, you can follow this guideline: https://rankmath.com/kb/meta-data-not-saving/
Let us know how it goes. Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
I have gotten in touch with my hosting provider to whitelist the route in which they have done so. Please check the updated sensitive data to find the new update
Hello,
Can you please confirm if you’re still facing the issue? If so, then we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
<span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.</span>
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:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/
You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/
Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.

Hello there,
The issue still persists and have not been resolved. Please check the Sensitive data to see the Temporary login details
Hello,
We’ve checked your website and found that because of the following rule on your .htaccess
file, the Rank Math Rest API was returning a 404 error.
# Allow access to /wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateMeta
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateMeta
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
However, we’ve removed this rule from your .htaccess
file and tried to save the focus keyword and we can see it is now working properly. Please check the screencast in the sensitive data section for your reference.
Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you.
Thank you. The post is now being updated fine.
