  • Hello,

    I apologize for the issue you are facing with updating Rank Math PRO. The error message you are encountering, PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10), typically indicates a problem with the update package itself. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue:

    1. Reconnect Your Website with Rank Math: Since you’ve already done this, ensure that you followed the correct steps:

      • Go to WordPress Dashboard → Rank Math SEO → Dashboard → Help and click Disconnect Account.
      • After disconnecting, click on Connect Now to reconnect your account.

    2. Check for Plugin Conflicts: Sometimes, conflicts with other plugins can cause update issues. You can check for conflicts by following our guide on Plugin/ Theme Conflict With Rank Math.

    3. Manual Update: If the automatic update continues to fail, you might consider manually updating the plugin. You can download the latest version of Rank Math PRO from your account on our website and upload it via the WordPress dashboard under Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.

    4. Ensure Latest Version of WordPress: Make sure that your WordPress installation is up to date, as outdated versions can sometimes lead to compatibility issues.

    Hello,

    We checked your Rank Math account, and we can see the Rank Math PRO subscription under this account expired on July 8, 2025.

    Now, if you want to use the PRO subscription again, you’ll have to re-purchase it from here: https://rankmath.com/pricing/

    However, if you have an active Rank Math PRO subscription with some other email address, please share that with us so that we can locate your account.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    Thank you.
