Author profile permalink and Rankmath

    Rank Math free

    Hi

    I’m trying to configure Rank Math in an account’s profile. We have changed the default permalinks of wordpress profiles. In Rank Math we try to modify this permalink to make it correspond to reality. But with each save, it returns to the default value of WordPress which is therefore no longer valid.

    Thanks for your help

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Please check your browser console for script errors when you save your pages.

    If you see an error containing “updateMeta”, then your server must be blocking Rank Math’s API. Please refer to this guide to fix it: https://rankmath.com/kb/meta-data-not-saving/#firewall

    Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.

    Hi

    No UpdateMeta errors in the console. There are not even any errors. Only the Permalink field is concerned. All the other fields are well saved except this one.

    Hello,

    WordPress doesn’t allow changing the author slug by default.

    To change the author slug, please use the following plugin:
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/edit-author-slug/

    I hope this helps. Looking forward to helping you.

    Hi

    That’s exactly what I did. This is the plugin I used to change the slug. But how do you register the new slug in Rank Math in user profile ? When I modify the extract, the recording does not take this new slug into account. And when we save, it reverts to the old value which is no longer valid.

    Hello,

    We might need to take a closer look at the settings. 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,

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

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Rank Math only displays the default slug of the author. When you change the slug using the other plugin, the updated URL won’t be displayed in the snippet editor. However, the author profile will be accessible on the updated URL.

    Hope this helps.

    We 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.
