Hello!
I use Divi Builder with WordPress. All Themes / Plugins / WordPress are up-to-date.
When I am in editing mode, I can not access media files. For instance, I insert an image module and click on it to insert it from the media library. The dialog box for the media library appears but is empty.
When I disable Rank Math, all works as expected.
I have installed Rank Math on several sites. Until now no problems.

Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with accessing media files while using Rank Math with Divi Builder. It seems that there might be a conflict between Rank Math and the Divi Builder, which can sometimes happen due to JavaScript conflicts or other compatibility issues.
To troubleshoot this issue, we recommend the following steps:
-
Check for JavaScript Errors: Open the Developer Tools Console in your browser (you can do this by pressing
Ctrl + Shift + Jon Windows orCmd + Option + Jon Mac) and look for any errors that might indicate what is going wrong. If you find any errors, please take note of them as they can help in diagnosing the issue.



-
Check Firewall Settings: If you are using a firewall, it may be blocking access to certain files that Rank Math needs to function properly. Ensure that Rank Math is whitelisted in your firewall settings.
-
Plugin Conflicts: Since you mentioned that disabling Rank Math resolves the issue, it could be beneficial to check if there are any known conflicts with other plugins or themes. You can refer to our List of Known Plugin Conflicts for more information.
-
Role Manager Settings: Ensure that your user role has the necessary capabilities in the Role Manager settings of Rank Math. Sometimes, restricted access can lead to issues like this.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please reply to this ticket with any error messages you find or additional details about your setup, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to resolve it quickly for you!

Hello,
We were not able to reproduce this issue on our dev setups, and since this is Divi(theme) related, we can’t use the health check plugin to disable plugins and use the default core themes.
For these reasons, could you please create a staging site, where it will be safe to disable each plugin, one by one.
We look forward to having this issue resolved.
Thank you.
Thanks Nicholas
I have already tried turning off plugins one-by-one. (This is possible in Divi, to do testing in such situations.) When I turn off RankMath, access to the Media Folder from the Builder is okay.
My work-around is to have two windows open and import the URL from the Media Folder.I also think one of the reasons you are not able to replicate the problem is that you have to put a page in edit mode (NOT WORDPRESS EDIT MODE – DIVI BUILDER EDIT MODE) and if you aren’t familiar with Divi Builder, you most certainly will not be able to replicate the problem.
I’m sorry – don’t have time at the moment to move the site.
Thanks
Hello,
We would like to investigate the issue further but the login information you shared is currently not working.
Can you please verify from your end so we can continue debugging the issue?
Looking forward to helping you.
Hi-
thank you for your continued interest, but I received this message from the Divi /Elegant Themes Team:“Never mind, I found the problem. We actually have a compatibility bug open with the Real Media Library plugin. Our developers are aware of it and are actively investigating the issue.
Unfortunately, there is no ETA on a solution that I can provide at this time. Though I can assure you that issues are addressed as quickly as possible based on our development team’s current workload and the severity of the issue when compared to the severity of other open issues.
Unfortunately, there is no workaround right now.”So Rank Math is not the problem. Again, thank you for your support and efforts. Maybe you want to keep this info on hand in case there are other complaints down the road.
Hello,
Thank you for the update regarding this issue.
If you have any other concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime so we can assist you further.
Looking forward to helping you.
