Rank Math Data not saving

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math about your postmeta not saving when you activate the .htaccess trailing slash redirect.

I tested the redirect on my own setup and the postmeta was saving. The usual cause of an error with wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateMeta is a firewall block. The following article details how to fix firewall blocks with WordFence: Firewall Blocked Access to the File. If you do not have WordFence the block may be on another security plugin, CDN like cloudflare, or on your hosting server.

If the above does not work, 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.

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:

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):

We really look forward to helping you.

Hello,

I checked your .htaccess file and found that the below rule was causing the issue, I have removed the rule from the .htaccess and now the keyword data is saving fine.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /+[^\.]+$ 
	RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])$ %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

Could you please kindly update the keywords and let us know how it goes.

Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

Hello,

I tested the below snippet and it works on my setup

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /+[^.]+$
    RewriteRule ^wp-json/rankmath($|/) - [L]
    RewriteRule  ^(.+[^/])$ %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

Let us know how it goes. Thank you.

Hello,

I took a look at your htaccess and changed the snippet as below and successfully tested it:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /+[^.]+$
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wp-json/
    RewriteRule  ^(.+[^/])$ %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

Let us know how it goes for you.
