Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.
Could you please confirm if you’re using the instant indexing plugin on your site?
We’re asking because we have identified this issue with the instant indexing from our latest update. To fix this, please deactivate/disable the instant indexing plugin temporarily on your site.
Our development team is already working to resolve this and we would really appreciate your kind patience regarding this matter.
Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
Thanks for the quick reply and the suggestion. And yes, I was using instant indexing. But I saw there was already and update out for that this morning (mentioning a php fix), so after reading your message, I just installed that, kept both plugins activated, and no error when I updated a post (and a confirmation message about the update being submitted for indexing). So, one more test case for you guys to add to your list that the update does seem to fix the problem.
Thanks!
Pam
I now see a new error — but within the Instant Indexing page, after trying to manually submit with IndexNow:
12:57:18 PM bing_submit: https://xyzsite.com/
{
"error": {
"code": 422,
"message": "Unprocessable Entity"
}
}
--------------------------------------------------------
I did the Instant Indexing (1.1.4) update earlier, but hadn’t tried the manual submit after that. And I just got a new Rank Math update (1.0.81.1) and ran that before trying the manual update. So, unsure if this error existed before I installed the latest Rank Math update.
Hello,
Please disable the Instant Indexing plugin for the Google API temporarily and submit a couple of URLs for Bing without the plugin active.
Then reactivate the plugin and submit it again for the IndexNow API. This should help resolve the issue.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
That cleared it out, and it reports that it’s successfully submitting to both now. Thanks!
