Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math. We are sorry for any inconvenience this must have caused you.
To enable Rank Math to edit the file, add the below filter to your site. Once done, you will be able to edit your robots.txt file even if your wp-config.php file contains a constant preventing you from editing it.
/**
* Allow editing the robots.txt & htaccess data.
*
* @param bool Can edit the robots & htacess data.
*/
add_filter( 'rank_math/can_edit_file', '__return_true' );
Optionally, include the DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT constant in your wp-config.php file and set it to false. If this constant is already added, ensure that it is set to false, as shown below.
define ('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', false);
You can refer to this guide on adding filters to your site. https://rankmath.com/kb/filters-hooks-api-developer/
