Hello,
We apologize for the issue you’re facing in finding the right information about setting up a blog section on your WordPress site. Rank Math is primarily an SEO plugin, and while it offers many advanced features for optimizing your content, it does not directly create blog pages or manage posts like a dedicated blogging plugin would.
To create a main blog page and categorize your blog posts, you can use the built-in features of WordPress itself:
- Create a Blog Page: Go to Pages > Add New in your WordPress dashboard to create a new page that will serve as your main blog page. You can name it "Blog" or anything you prefer.
- Set the Blog Page: After creating the page, go to Settings > Reading and set the "Posts page" option to the page you just created. This will display your blog posts on that page.
- Categorize Posts: When creating or editing a post, you can assign categories to it in the right sidebar under the "Categories" section. This helps organize your posts.
- Schedule Posts: You can schedule posts by selecting the date and time in the "Publish" section when editing a post.
- Add to Navigation: To add your blog page to the main navigation, go to Appearance > Menus, select your blog page, and add it to your menu.

If you’re looking for advanced SEO features to optimize your blog posts once they’re set up, Rank Math can help with that. We also offer a professional setup service if you want assistance with ensuring everything is configured correctly according to SEO best practices. You can find more about that service here.
Thank you for raising this concern! If you have any further questions or need more assistance, feel free to reply to this ticket.

Hello,
Thanks for reaching out.
Rank Math is a powerful SEO plugin, but it doesn’t handle blog layout, post scheduling, or category page creation — those are handled by WordPress itself and your theme.
What Rank Math does is help optimize your blog posts for search engines with features like SEO analysis, schema markup, sitemaps, and more.
For setting up your blog, you can use WordPress’s built-in features, then use Rank Math to boost visibility.
We hope this helps. Please let us know if you have further questions or concerns.
