Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with Rank Math not appearing when you want to add a post. This can happen if the Meta Box is disabled for the post type you are trying to use. Here are some steps you can follow to enable it:
-
Navigate to Titles & Meta Settings: Go to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta from your WordPress dashboard.
-
Select the Post Type/Taxonomy: On the left-hand side, select the post type (like Posts or Pages) where you want the Meta Box to appear.
-
Enable Add SEO Controls: Scroll down and locate the Add SEO Controls option, then enable it.
-
Check Your Post Type: After enabling it, check again by creating a new post. If you are using the Block Editor, look for the Rank Math SEO icon at the top-right corner. If you are using the Classic Editor, scroll down to find the Meta Box.
If you still do not see the Meta Box after following these steps, please reply to this ticket with your site URL, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!
