problem with elementor + advanced custom fields + rankmath seo

Hello,

I apologize for the issue you are facing with Elementor, Advanced Custom Fields, and Rank Math SEO. It seems that there might be a conflict between these plugins that is preventing you from saving posts.

Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Check for Plugin Conflicts: Since you’ve already tested combinations, ensure that all plugins are updated to their latest versions. Sometimes, conflicts arise from outdated plugins.

2. Check REST Route: Ensure that the Rank Math REST route is not blocked by any security plugins or your hosting provider. You can check this by visiting the following URL in your browser (replace example.com with your domain):
   `https://img.youtube.com/vi/FcIWRhcUP2c/maxresdefault.jpg
   If you see a response indicating access is denied, it may be a firewall issue.

3. Debugging: Enable WordPress debugging to see if any specific errors are logged when you try to save a post. You can do this by adding the following lines to your wp-config.php file:

   define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
   define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
   define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );

   After enabling this, check the wp-content/debug.log file for any errors related to Rank Math or the other plugins.

4. Contact Support: If the issue persists after trying the above steps, we recommend replying to your ticket with more details about your setup, including your site URL. A human agent from the Rank Math Support team will be able to assist you further.

Thank you for raising this concern, and we hope to resolve it for you soon!

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

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

You can check this link for more information:

If that is not the case, please check the PHP values of your site by going to WordPress dashboard > Tools > Site Health > Info tab > Server. These values affect the performance of your site, and they should be set at least to the following recommendations:

PHP Memory Limit: 512M
Max input time: 150
PHP time limit: 120
PHP max input variables: 1000

If any of these values are lower than the recommended ones, please contact your hosting provider and ask them to increase them for you.

Let us know how this goes.

Hello,

We might need to take a closer look at your website to investigate this further. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

Please take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.
