    Dear Support Team,

    I have just activated the PRO version of RankMath on the new website breinclima.it, and shortly afterwards I received the email attached below.

    Could you please confirm whether this message is legitimate or just spam?
    If it is indeed legitimate, what actions should I take? What issue might have occurred?

    Thank you very much in advance for your support.
    Looking forward to your reply.

    EMAIL:

    Howdy!

    WordPress has a built-in feature that detects when a plugin or theme causes a fatal error on your site, and notifies you with this automated email.

    In this case, WordPress caught an error with one of your plugins, Rank Math SEO.

    First, visit your website (https://www.breinclima.it/) and check for any visible issues. Next, visit the page where the error was caught (https://www.breinclima.it/wp-admin/admin.php?page=rank-math-options-general) and check for any visible issues.

    Please contact your host for assistance with investigating this issue further.

    If your site appears broken and you can’t access your dashboard normally, WordPress now has a special “recovery mode”. This lets you safely login to your dashboard and investigate further.

    https://www.breinclima.it/wp-login.php?action=enter_recovery_mode&rm_token=vUUwkPHHI5D7JkaVkVFBeh&rm_key=diLoeuo8VKmzoW6MuJYemH

    To keep your site safe, this link will expire in 1 day. Don’t worry about that, though: a new link will be emailed to you if the error occurs again after it expires.

    When seeking help with this issue, you may be asked for some of the following information:
    WordPress version 6.8.1
    Active theme: Hello Elementor (version 3.4.1)
    Current plugin: Rank Math SEO (version 1.0.244)
    PHP version 8.4.7

    I Purchased Rank Math PRO but Rank Math is Still Showing FREE » Rank Math

    Hello,

    You mentioned that you’re using Rank Math PRO, but the account you used to open this ticket is the Rank Math free version.

    Can you please search and forward a receipt from FastSpring.com or the email address you used to purchase so we can locate your account and verify it?

    Regarding the error, assuming you are using the latest version of all the plugins and the themes (please update if not yet), this can be caused by a conflicting plugin/theme with Rank Math.

    To determine that, please follow this troubleshooting guide:
    https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/

    Here is a video you can follow as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcIWRhcUP2c

    Only the site admin would know and your users won’t be affected by this troubleshooting.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Hello,

    Since we did not hear back from you for 15 days, we are assuming that you found the solution. We are closing this support ticket.

    If you still need assistance or any other help, please feel free to open a new support ticket, and we will be more than happy to assist.

    Thank you.
