Hello,
robots.txt file is not writable usually shows in the settings when the file edits are disabled through the wp-config.php file.
To enable Rank Math to edit the file, include the DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT constant in your wp-config.php file and set it to false. If this constant is already added, please make sure that it is set to false. If it is not there include it as shown below:
define ('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', false);
For more troubleshooting steps, please check our guide here:

Hope that helps.
Thank you.
I put both
/**
* Allow editing the robots.txt & htaccess data.
*
* @param bool Can edit the robots & htacess data.
*/
add_filter( ‘rank_math/can_edit_file’, ‘__return_true’ );
and
define (‘DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT’, false);
in the wp-config.txt but still not working
I found out that when I deactive the ‘Ithemes security’ pulgin, I could edit the robots.txt.
But I want to know which part of the plugin bans editing the robots.txt.
Hello,
Thank you for your patience.
In this case, we recommend getting in touch with the iThemes development team to assist you with this one since they are not allowing the file edit on your site.
Meanwhile, please check if you have this option in your iThemes security settings and try if it resolves the issue
Hope that helps.
