Hide Rank Math from Content Editors

Agencies often struggle with Rank Math because of editors obsessing over seo scores. Here is how to fix it.

The Problem with Rank Math for Clients

While Rank Math is a powerful tool, it often presents too many options to the end-user. Clients logging in to manage their site are often overwhelmed by the sheer number of menu items and settings. This leads to:

• Confusion about where to go to perform simple tasks.
• "I broke the site" support tickets.
• A perception that WordPress is "clunky" or "hard to use".

The Manual Way (Hard)

You could try to use custom code in `functions.php` to hide these menus based on user roles. This requires maintaining code snippets, updating them when the plugin changes, and risking breaking the backend if you make a syntax error.

The Client Calm Way (Easy)

In my experience, giving content editors access to Rank Math creates more problems than it solves. They'll spend 20 minutes gaming the SEO score instead of writing good content. Hide the metabox for Editor role, keep it for Authors who need it.

With Client Calm, you just:

1. Install the plugin.
2. Go to the Menu Manager.
3. Toggle off the Rank Math menus you want to hide.

It's that simple. No code, no maintenance.
