Hello,
I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’re facing with the URL in the Rank Math preview on your WordPress site. It seems like you’re trying to remove the “author” part from the URL, but the changes are not being saved when you try to edit the snippet.
To remove the “author” part from the URL, you can follow these steps:
-
In the WordPress Block Editor, click on the Rank Math SEO icon in the top-right corner of the page to open the Rank Math Meta Box.
-
In the Rank Math Meta Box, choose Edit Snippet under the General tab to open the Snippet Editor.
-
In the Snippet Editor, under the Permalink field, you can change the slug to remove the “author” part from the URL.
-
Once you’ve edited the slug, click Update or Publish to save the changes.
If you’re still facing issues with saving the modifications, please ensure that your post is saved as a draft before editing the snippet. Additionally, make sure that your permalink settings are configured correctly in WordPress.
If you continue to experience difficulties, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from our support team will be happy to assist you further.
