It tells me: “The plugin is currently not connected with your Rank Math account. Click on the button below to login or register for FREE using your Google account, Facebook account, or your email account.” When I click that link, it takes me through Google sign on but then nothing else changes.
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Could you please try this step to fix the connection issue?
Head over to your website’s files /wp-content/plugins/ and edit the file seo-by-rank-math/includes/admin/class-admin-helper.php on line 164:
if ( isset( $options['site_url'] ) && site_url() !== $options['site_url'] ) {
Changing it to this:
if ( isset( $options['site_url'] ) && home_url() !== $options['site_url'] ) {
Once done, connect with your Rank Math account.
Let us know how this goes.
Thank you.
Not sure that you received my response. This did solve it, after I cleared the cache.
But:
1. Should I pass the same update to staging sites?
2. In the longer term, will your next update overwrite this change??? (Would be a nuisance as Google would immediately tell me to resubmit all my pages for reindexing etc.)
Hello,
Yes, you can follow the same steps for your staging sites to fix the issue.
However, we have already noted this internally and will be updating the plugin to include these changes in the upcoming updates.
Looking forward to helping you.
Thank you.
Thank you – very helpful. All resolved.
