Critical error

    Hello Rank Math Support Team,
    I am experiencing a “Headers already sent” error on my website, and the debug log points to the Rank Math plugin as the source of the initial output.
    Here is the first error in the debug log, which appears to be the trigger:
    [21-Jun-2025 22:22:09 UTC] PHP Deprecated: Creation of dynamic property RankMath\Analytics\Summary::$total is deprecated in /home/c/cq83318/public_html/wp-content/plugins/seo-by-rank-math/includes/modules/analytics/class-summary.php on line 124

    This deprecated notice is causing a subsequent “Cannot modify header information” error:
    [21-Jun-2025 22:22:09 UTC] PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/c/cq83318/public_html/wp-content/themes/nectar-blocks-theme/header.php:1) in /home/c/cq83318/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1450

    I have already tried the following:
    * Updating the Rank Math plugin to the latest version.
    * Checking my theme’s header.php file for extra spaces or BOM (it is clean).
    * The error disappears when I deactivate the Rank Math plugin.
    It seems the deprecated code in class-summary.php is creating output that breaks other WordPress functions.
    Could you please look into this? Let me know if you need any more information.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Hello,

    We apologize for the issue you are facing with the "Headers already sent" error on your website. It seems that the deprecated notice in the Rank Math plugin is causing subsequent errors related to header modifications.

    Since you’ve already tried updating the plugin and checking your theme’s header.php file, we recommend the following steps:

    1. Check for Plugin Conflicts: Deactivate all other plugins except Rank Math to see if the issue persists. If it resolves, reactivate them one by one to identify any conflicts.
    2. Debugging: Enable WordPress debugging to get more detailed error messages. You can do this by adding the following lines to your wp-config.php file:
      define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
      define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
      define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );

      This will log errors to a debug.log file in the wp-content directory.

    3. Contact Support: If the problem continues, please reply to this ticket with your site URL and any additional details you think might help. A human agent from our support team will take over and assist you further.

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this issue!

    I have done all your chatbot mentions, please use quick link to log in to my website & investigate

    Hello,

    We checked your website and did not find any critical errors.

    The deprecated notice from Rank Math that you mentioned should not cause any critical issues. It appears to be related to the Analytics module, which is currently not configured correctly.

    Please reconfigure your Analytics settings by navigating to WP Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Analytics.

    If the issue persists, kindly share a screencast using a tool like https://loom.com so we can investigate further.

    Looking forward to assisting you.

    Thank you.
