  • Hello,

    Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.

    This is something we can’t control and it could be that BitNinja saw our plugin as malware which could be just a false positive report from their end.

    In this case, you can get in touch with your web host and ensure that BitNinja whitelists our API route that handles the saving process. https://rankmath.com/kb/meta-data-not-saving/#firewall

    Let us know how this goes. Looking forward to helping you.

    Hi Jeremy

    thank you for you reply

    Yes I agree with you and I have forwarded your API link to the Hoster

    It has been a wasteful and frustrating event as I haven’t been able to complete my setting up of RankMath since 36 hours now and they have sent me a Malware scan report with 300 entries but I have scanned my sites using Malcare which reports no malware and Wordfence which only reports my plugins that need updating

    I am still waiting for their “Engineer” to resolve the issue after many emails

    I will keep you informed thank you

    Hi Jeremy

    I sent your instructions to my Hosting Provider and within 1 day I got their reply

    “We have disabled the Mod_Sec firewall rule 930120 for *amztrafficandconversion.com/wp-admin/* , Which triggers your IP address blocking”

    and now the false blocking has been fixed

    thank you for your help, I can now resume my setting up of rank math

    cheers

    Wolfgang
