Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with editing your WordPress page while using Rank Math. It sounds like a frustrating situation, especially since it only affects the start page.
Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:
1. Check for JavaScript Errors
Sometimes, JavaScript conflicts can prevent pages from loading properly. You can check for errors by opening the Developer Tools Console in your browser:
- In Chrome, navigate to More Tools → Developer Tools and click on the Console tab.

If you see any errors, they might indicate a conflict with another plugin or theme.
2. Firewall Settings
If you are using a firewall, it might be blocking access to certain Rank Math files. Ensure that Rank Math is whitelisted in your firewall settings. Check if the following files are being blocked:
/wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateMeta
/wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateSchemas
/wp-json/rankmath/v1/updateRedirection
/wp-json/rankmath/v1/getFeaturedImageId
/wp-json/rankmath/v1/getHead
You can use plugins like Wordfence in Learning Mode to help with this.
3. Check User Permissions
Make sure that your user role has the necessary permissions to edit the page. You can check this in the Role Manager settings within Rank Math.

4. Update Rank Math
Ensure that you are using the latest version of Rank Math, as updates often include bug fixes and improvements that could resolve your issue.
If these steps do not resolve the problem, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will take over and assist you further.
Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention! We hope to help you resolve it soon.
