Hello,
I’m sorry to hear that you’re facing issues with Rank Math not updating the keyword changes on your posts. To ensure that the keyword changes are saved properly, please follow these steps:
-
Make sure you have the latest version of Rank Math installed. You can check this by navigating to your WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → Status & Tools → Version Control. If you are not using the latest version, update Rank Math either through the notification in the dashboard or manually by downloading the latest version from your Rank Math account area.
-
After updating Rank Math, make the necessary keyword changes on your post.
-
Click the “Update” button to save the changes. It’s essential to make some modifications to your content before hitting the update button to avoid any issues with search engines.
If you’ve followed these steps and are still experiencing the issue where the keyword changes are not saving, please refer to this dedicated tutorial on debugging meta data not saving: Meta Data Not Saving.

Hello,
Apologies for the inconvenience.
In this case, please check if you are using a Firewall as it may prevent saving the changes.
If you are using a Firewall, please whitelist this route:
/wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateMeta
/wp-json/rankmath/v1/saveModule
You can check this link for more information:

Let us know how this goes.
Good day, I checked my console, but I barely understand whats going on there. I’ve tried working through some steps, but no improvement so far.
Hello,
While saving the metadata, please keep the browser console open in the “Network” tab and see what the status code of the following route: https://www.yourdomain.com/wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateMeta?_locale=user
You can find the browser console in your browser following this guide: https://balsamiq.com/support/faqs/browserconsole/
If it’s returning any other value than a 200, there’s something wrong with the route and we would request you to get in touch with your hosting provider to make sure that REST APIs are not getting blocked.
However, if it returns 200, then 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):

Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
