    Hi

    I hope you’re all well.

    After updating to WordPress 6.8, the Rank Math SEE plugin is having some issues.
    Specifically, these warning lines appear:

    Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type bool in /srv/vhost/aquarifer.es/home/html/wp-content/plugins/seo-by-rank-math/includes/modules/version-control/class-beta-optin.php on line 106

    Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type bool in /srv/vhost/aquarifer.es/home/html/wp-content/plugins/seo-by-rank-math/includes/modules/version-control/class-beta-optin.php on line 145

    What happened?
    Is there a compatibility issue?
    How can I resolve it?

    Thank you in advance for your kindness.
    Ana

    Hi, I’ve solved it!
    I’m explaining it in case it helps anyone else.
    What happened to you is a very rare but very important case:

    WordPress couldn’t connect to wordpress.org because the server had blocked the new WordPress IPs.

    That explains why:
    Rank Math failed when trying to check for updates or connect to its API.
    You couldn’t install plugins (or see them in the repository).
    Even after disabling it, the errors continued, because the problem was at the server’s network/firewall level.

    Why does this happen?
    Some hosting providers, for security reasons, filter outgoing connections and only allow connections to authorized IPs (a kind of “whitelist”).
    If WordPress.org changes the IPs of its servers—something that happened recently, by the way—this filter prevents WordPress from connecting to its own ecosystem (plugins, updates, etc.).

    How did I solve it?
    I contacted the hosting support.

    They identified new WordPress.org IP addresses that weren’t allowed.

    They added them to the firewall’s whitelist.

    Everything was back to normal!
