Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Please head over to WordPress Dashboard > Settings > General and make sure there are no mismatches in the WordPress URL and Site URL in those options.
​​​​​​​If you have different website URLs in there, that would explain the error message as they need to match for the connection to happen correctly.
If that doesn’t help, please follow this guide:
https://rankmath.com/kb/fix-automatic-update-unavailable-for-this-plugin/#unable-to-encrypt
Let us know how that goes. We are here to help.
​​​​​​​
I tried all that sorry and it doesn’t work.
Including making sure URLs are the same.
Checking for conflicting plugins – there are none.
Also modifying the wp-config file with the suggested, but still doesn’t work.
Hello,
Please add the following filter to your theme’s functions.php file and reconnect your account after that:
add_filter( 'rank_math/registration/do_url_check', '__return_false' );
If the issue persists even after that, 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.
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.
All good it seems to be connected now, I have updated to PRO version too.
Thanks.
