Hi Todd,
I opened the access again.
1- at rm dashboard >search console/site map: the map keep disappear, when I click refresh sitemaps it show up but with 0 index file
2- there is no option to disable the rm virtual robot.txt as I have a plugin that create virtual robots.txt too so I want to disable this option at rm?!
3- I use the option to auto update the plugin but last time I made the update manually cause it didn’t update by itself!
thanks
c.k.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
Looks like the access is blocked again.
To me, it sounds like some plugin on your website is adding custom CSS to the content area of your pages.
To determine that, please follow this troubleshooting guide:
https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/
Please let me know if you find the culprit.
Only the site admin would know and your users won’t be affected by this troubleshooting.
Looking forward to helping you.

Hi Todd,
I confirm these 3 issues still exist despite disabling all other plugins and using default theme by wp site health
1- at rm dashboard >search console/site map: the map keep disappear, when I click refresh sitemaps it show up but with 0 index file
2- there is no option to disable the rm virtual robot.txt as I have a plugin that create virtual robots.txt too so I want to disable this option at rm?!
3- I use the option to auto update the plugin but last time I made the update manually cause it didn’t update by itself! ( this can’t be tested using sitehealth!)
thanks
c.k.
Hi,
I suppose the description issue got sorted?
1. If you used the newer DNS-based verification method to verify your site in Search Console, then the submitted sitemaps list will not be available in Rank Math. Sites that have been verified using that are not accessible through the Search Console sitemaps API. Until Google adds support for that, we cannot show the Sitemaps list within your WordPress dashoard.
If you did not use the DNS verification and the submitted sitemaps are still not showing up in Rank Math > Search Console > Sitemaps, then first of all please go to Rank Math > General Settings > Search Console and click on Deauthorize, save it, and then authorize again, and save the settings once again.
You can check if the sitemap is working correctly on your site or not by visiting the sitemap_index.xml URL in your browser. You should see something like this: https://rankmath.com/sitemap_index.xml Clicking on the individual sitemaps should work too.
What you see in the Sitemaps report of the Search Console should reflect that: when you navigate to the Sitemaps report, you should see only the sitemap_index.xml listed there, and when you click on it, you should see the list of individual sitemaps included in the sitemap index.
You don’t have to submit the sitemaps manually, Rank Math should take care of that for you. If for any reason Rank Math did not submit your sitemap index correctly, then you can correct it in the Search Console manually, by submitting only the sitemap index and removing all the other sitemaps submitted.
2. If a robots.txt file is already present, Rank Math’s robots.txt will not take effect.
3. If you use the rollback, we will not auto update until you manually update once.
If you face this issue again though, we let us know and we will take a look at that time.
Hi Todd,
1- one space worked fine to make the description field empty, the excerpt variable shows an error but Michael sent the page builder recommendation to the dev. team.
2. I use DNS & Meta and HTML file verification methods to verify the site in Search Console. DNS is mandatory cause my domain is from google.
I submitted my sitemap manually using search console and it works fine on the site either, the problem only at the plugin rm/search console/sitemaps, its only show the sitemap when I use the option to refresh sitemaps and it shows all pages as 0 indexed.
I tried the Deauthorization but it didn’t work
3. I already have robots.txt file but its not physical it’s virtual file, is this ok.
4. I use the 1.0.41.2 version, should I get notification for the update or it will update it immediately without me seeing notifications.
thanks I appreciate ur patience and efforts
c.k.
Hi,
1. Good to hear.
2. This is a limitation coming from Google. What you can do is use their Sitekit and disable GSC functionality in Rank Math at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Dashboard
3. That is completely fine.
4. If you enable auto-updates, the plugin will update automatically and you will receive an email notification.
Hi,
I know rm add – org snippet to hp, contact us and about us
– site link search box snippet to home page
I wan’t to know wt other types of automated snippets does RM add and where it is added, I didn’t find any info about this in the kb, and its imp. to finish testing all snippets !!
thanks
c.k.
Hi Ce Kay,
Thanks for the follow up.
No other automatic snippets are added by the plugin out of the box.
All the rest of the snippets on your pages are controlled by the settings on your Rank Math > Titles & Meta page.
Let us know if you have additional questions. Thank you.
Hi Michael,
looks like I have some snippets from my theme “Genesis” as:
– WebPage that it includes all the urls on my site!
– SiteNavigationElement
1- should I keep them or remove them if they make conflict with RM
2- Genesis has built in breadcrumb FUNCTION CODE, should I disable it and enable breadcrumbs function at RM>GeneralSettings>Breadcrumb>, or should I do the opposite( enable genesis function & disable RM function)
note that I want rm to take control of all snippets not genesis
thanks
c.k.
Hi CK,
Thanks for the reply.
1). I can recommend that you disable all the theme snippets that are generated by the theme in order to ensure that there are no conflicts.
2). In order to take full control of your SEO and breadcrumblist schema, I can suggest that you disable the breadcrumbs on your theme but you will need to add some code to enable the breadcrumb on your theme. Here is the code which should go on the templates that display your post & pages:
<?php if (function_exists('rank_math_the_breadcrumbs')) rank_math_the_breadcrumbs(); ?>
I hope this helps. Thank you.
Hi Michael,
I enable the breadcrumbs on genesis and also on RM, and I don’t insert RM breadcrumb code into the theme template.
I see all the settings that I use in RM dashboard for breadcrumbs reflecting correctly on the pages!
– does this mean genesis is now compatible with rm and I don’t need to insert this code?
– or it means I have duplicate breadcrumbs?
could you plz make a test and see if all are fine?
thanks
c.k.
