    Hi, I just tried to install Rankmath today. After installing, I activated it and I get this error message. “There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.”

    Already contacted my host, and they said the PHP limitations are already increased but did not solve the issue, and suggested I contacted the plugin team instead.

    I am currently using Astra theme. All other plugins and WP is the latest version.

    Hi Anas, how can i upload the error log? can i email to a secure email?

    Hello,

    You can share the error logs here so all of the support staff can conveniently access them.

    If you can’t share the logs, you may paste it here https://pastebin.com/ and share the URL in the Sensitive Data section.

    If it’s a file, then you can upload it to https://wetransfer.com/ and share the URL in the Sensitive Data section as well.

    Looking forward to helping you with this one.

    Hello,

    I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    The file you have shared is not the error log. Please contact your host and ask them to share the actual error log. Or you can follow this guide to get the error log: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-set-up-wordpress-error-logs-in-wp-config/

    Looking forward to helping you.

    No, all these is too technical for a normal user, and being put back and forth between two support side is not helping. I will just uninstall this and use other plugin, all this hassle is not worth it.

    I’m closing this ticket – IT’S NOT SOLVED but it’s too troublesome to try to use this plugin and not worth my time troubleshooting.

    Hello,

    We deeply apologize for the inconvenience.

    The URL of the log file is inside the HTML file you sent and at first, the download button isn’t working so we were having difficulty retrieving it.

    Now I was able to download the file and looking at it, there seems to be no error relating to Rank Math so this could be a conflict with another plugin or your current theme.

    If you allow us to further help you with your issue, we may need to check your admin dashboard and install the plugin for you.

    Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

    Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.
    Sensitive Data Section

    It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

    You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-security-audit-log/

    We really look 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.
