SEO controls not showing on Archive pages

Hello,

We apologize for the issue you are facing with the SEO controls not showing on your archive pages in Rank Math. Thank you for raising this concern.

To ensure that the SEO controls appear on your archive pages, please follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Post → Categories: Go to the categories section in your WordPress dashboard.

   

2. Select a Category: Choose the category you want to edit and click on the Edit button.

   

3. Check for Rank Math Meta Box: Scroll down to see if the Rank Math Meta Box is available. If it’s not visible, you need to enable the Add SEO Controls option.

4. Enable Add SEO Controls: Go to Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta → Categories in Advanced Mode and toggle the Add SEO Controls option to Activated.

   

5. Open Snippet Editor: Once enabled, you can open the Snippet Editor in the General tab to set your title and description.

   

If you have followed these steps and still do not see the controls, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further.

Thank you for your patience!

Hello,

Rank Math does not show the SEO Control for Elementor templates, because as template parts are meant to be used on actual pages, so doing SEO for the template part is of no use. But that said, we added the following filter code to your website to allow Rank Math’s SEO Controls to be shown on your Elementor templates. Here’s the code we added:

add_filter( 'rank_math/excluded_post_types',function( $post_types) {
      $post_types['elementor_library'] = 'elementor_library';
     return $post_types;
}, 11 );

And we added the code in your theme’s function.php file. It’s important to know that this is not permanent, if you update your theme, the code we added will be removed. To avoid that, you can move the code to a permanent location, i.e. using a child theme, using a Code Snippet plugin or adding the code to the rank-math.php file. You can learn more here.

We hope this helps you resolve the issue. Don’t hesitate to contact us again with any other questions or concerns regarding Rank Math. We are always happy to help.

Thank you for choosing Rank Math!
