Hello, I apologize for the issue you are facing with the Rank Math SEO meta box not opening on your static homepage.
Based on the information provided, it seems like you might have set your homepage to display a specific page. In this case, the Titles & Meta settings for the homepage can only be configured directly through the Rank Math MetaBox available in the Editor.
To resolve this issue, please follow these steps:
- Open the WordPress Editor for your homepage.
- Look for the Rank Math MetaBox. If you cannot find it, ensure that you have enabled “Add SEO Controls” from “Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta Settings → Pages.”
- In the Rank Math MetaBox, choose the “Advanced Tab.” If you cannot find the Advanced tab, please enable the advanced mode from “Rank Math SEO → Dashboard.”
- Check if the Robots Meta is set to “No Index.” If so, select the “Index” checkbox and update the page.
If you continue to experience difficulties, please feel free to reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

This can be closed now. There does appear to be a conflict between my theme and the Rank Math SEO plugin, both of which I need, but I found a workable workaround.
