Hello, we’re sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues editing your robots.txt file with Rank Math. There are a few common reasons why this might be happening.
One of the common reasons is that a physical robots.txt file is present in the root folder of your website. If you have an actual robots.txt file in your site’s root folder, then you may not be able to edit it with Rank Math. You can remove this file via FTP or cPanel File Manager and then try to edit the robots.txt file via Rank Math.
Another reason could be that another plugin is creating the robots.txt file, which would prevent you from editing it with Rank Math. In this case, you can simply find and disable the plugin that is creating the file to resolve the issue.
If these solutions don’t work, there might be permission issues on the web server. In this case, you would need to contact your web host for further assistance.
If you still have questions or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out to our dedicated support team here. We’re available 24/7, 365 days a year and we’re happy to help you with any issues that you might face.
