We’ve tried all the possible solutions mentioned in the article, but we still can’t see the ‘Add SEO Controls’ option in both the user settings and Rank Math settings pages.

Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the Rank Math Meta Box not showing. Since you’ve already tried the solutions mentioned in the article, let’s ensure that everything is set up correctly.
-
Navigate to Titles & Meta Settings: Go to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta from your WordPress dashboard. Make sure you have selected the correct post type or taxonomy where you want the Meta Box to appear.

-
Enable Add SEO Controls: In the Titles & Meta settings, scroll down to find the Add SEO Controls option and ensure it is enabled for the relevant post types.

-
Check User Profile Settings: If you are trying to access the Meta Box in user profile settings, navigate to Users → Profile and scroll down to see if the Meta Box appears there. If it doesn’t, check if there are any restrictions set in the Author Robots Meta settings that might be affecting visibility.

-
Screen Options in Classic Editor: If you are using the Classic Editor, click on Screen Options at the top-right of your screen and ensure that the Rank Math SEO checkbox is checked.

If after checking all these settings the Meta Box still does not appear, it may be beneficial to check for any plugin conflicts or theme issues that could be affecting Rank Math’s functionality.
If you continue to experience difficulties, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further. Thank you for your patience!
Hello,

Thank you.
We have already attempted these solutions, but as mentioned, we are unable to see the ‘Add SEO controls’. Please refer to the screenshot on our site(https://imgur.com/a/CtYZmal). Additionally, as per the old reference, we have added the following priority in the functions.php file:
add_filter( ‘rank_math/metabox/priority’, function( $priority ) {
return ‘low’;
});

Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.
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:
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/
We really look forward to helping you.
Due to an NDA, we’re unable to provide FTP and admin access. However, we’ve included the server status and other relevant details for your review. Could you please check with these?

From the console error log you shared, it’s not pointing to any of the Rank Math asset files.
Assuming you are using the latest version of all the plugins and the themes (please update if not yet), it would seem like a conflict with one of the plugins or the theme you are using.
To determine that, please follow this troubleshooting guide:
https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/Here is a video you can follow as well:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcIWRhcUP2cOnly the site admin would know and your users won’t be affected by this
troubleshooting.Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.
